As I listened to this podcast, every episode leas me to new ideas about who could be innocent/guilty and why. I had a hard time coming to a final decision on who murdered Hae Min Lee, and I’m still unsure on a final person. There were so many pieces of evidence left unstudied; for example, no DNA was taken and tested from Hae’s body, many people who testified changed their stories often or their stories didn’t match up with the timeline one that detectives had, etc. With this being said, I don’t think Adnan Syed committed the murder, and even if he did do it, more people were involved than just him and Jay. There are numerous amounts of theories that can be drawn from this case.
After listening to all of the evidence stated on the podcast, I lean more towards Adnan being innocent. Rabia Chaudry said, “He was like the community’s golden child.” According to people that knew him, Adnan was a good kid and was never into any trouble. There was one point in the podcast when Adnan said “It’s a very shameful thing that I did. I’ve never denied it.” He was admitting to stealing donation money from his mosk, but that was the only bad thing people could remember him doing. Why would someone who was never into any trouble with the law suddenly wants to murder his ex girlfriend with his bare hands. I get that he might’ve been upset after him and Hae broke up, but I don’t think that a boy who had never really been in trouble would kill someone. I definitely think Jay was involved with the murder no matter who the killer was. The fact that he was able to take police to Hae’s car and he had such a detailed story about the day of the murder can easily show that Jay was involved. A detective said, “Before you stated you’d be willing to take us out and show us where the vehicle’s parked.” Jay answered back, “No problem.”
The parts of this case that leave me unsure of Adnan being innocent is his cell phone record as well as many people as many people seeing Jay and Adnan together at various times on January 13, 1999. For instance, when the boys randomly popped up at Cathy’s house and they both weren’t very close with her. “–and I was kinda surprised and a little confused because he didn’t call me unless he was with Jenn and nobody had called to say ‘hey are you guys home? Do you guys want to hangout?’ Nothing like that. So it was a little strange that he would just pop up at the door.” It was mentioned several times throughout the podcast the Adnan’s cell phone was pinged cell towers in areas where Jay said he was and helped complete his story. Also his cell phone record was taken as one of the biggest pieces of evidence. “The one where Adnan calls his own phone and says, ‘come and get me. I’m at Best Buy.’ you can see it on the call log.”
And That's the Tea, Sis
