Adnan Masud Jjy Case Study
Every day there are cases with little to no evidence and people going to jail despite the lack of evidence. That very thing happened to Adnan Masud Syed; On February 25, 2000, he was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Hae Min Lee. In January of 1999 Hae’s body was found manhandling strangled in a shallow grave in (name of park) one month after she went missing. Jay Wilds, Syed’s best friend, says he helped Syed dump her dead body but was not there for the murder. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Thus, Jay can’t be at Jenn’s house, as he and Jenn told the police over and over. The records show the phone near Woodlawn the entire time of Hae’s (probable) abduction and(or) murder. The same phone was being used to call “Jenn house” at the same time. Adnan has no reason to call Jenn. Did Jay call Jenn? Lastly, they convicted Mr. Syed based on how he acted toward Miss Lee while they were in a relationship. Lee had a diary and in that diary she wrote about Adnan and her relationship. She didn’t write good things about him. However, all of Adnan’s friends contradict the statements in her diary. So are the things Hae wrote true or did she write those things out of hatred? The police were trying to find evidence to convict Adnan but not finding a killer based off the evidence. Therefore, while reading the diary were the prosecutors and police
