But professional documents and blueprints of the Best Buy and its exterior prove that Jay’s sketch was incorrect. Jay had drawn a map of the Best Buy exterior, including the payphone. After going through all the events, Koenig and the producers concluded that it was well past the time Jay said he had dropped Adnan off for track practice (Koenig), demonstrating that Jay’s story does not add up.Īlso, when Jay changed his story and said that Adnan had called him from a payphone outside of Best Buy, further research done shows that there was never any payphone outside of the Best Buy (Koenig). But according to Adnan, he was roughly at practice on time. Going through every action according to Jay’s story, Adnan would’ve been very late for track practice. However, the events from the remainder of the day are highly unlikely to have occurred, in fact were next to impossible. They concluded that the first part of the day very possibly could’ve happened going to the mall to look for a birthday gift for Jay’ girlfriend (Chivvis). Jay’s Botched Story Image of Jay Wild, Adnan’s friend from high schoolįor starters, Koenig along with her produces re-enacted the events of January 13, 1999. There are multiple reasons behind my opinion. Also, Adnan’s lack of ability to recall specifically where he was and what he was doing the day of Hae’s murder to counter-act Jay’s story, poorly reflects on him.Īdnan Syed and Hae Min Lee at a school dance Innocentĭespite this, I have come to my own conclusions that side with Koenig and her opinions in that Adnan is innocent. Although there is no physical evidence that proves Adnan killed his ex-girlfriend, Hae Mine Lee, which is a pretty sure sign of someone’s innocence, Adnan doesn’t have a reliable alibi and there are phone records that negatively impact his case. I have to say, things aren’t looking too great for Adnan.

Now, after listening to the final episode “ What We Know”, I’ve come to a conclusion on whether or not I believe Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent. In my last blog post I discussed my thoughts and opinions on the first episode of Serial, a popular podcast narrated and produced by Sarah Koenig. Law is a touchy thing and one tiny piece of evidence, slim idea or theory can tip the balance in or out of someone’s favour.
