To What Extent Is Adnan Innocent Or Guilty
In conclusion , Adnan is innocent because they didn’t have enough evidence to prove Adnan wrong, there key witness was lying and changing things up . Even though Adnan proves that he is innocent , he could be guilty , he shows he is ultimately innocent because if you look closely , they didn’t really look at other people that made Adnan sound good, and in trial they were being racist, and unfair to him . What I mostly learned from this project is to always be ready for anything because you never know when it will be you.

    Was Pete Anderson Guilty

    • 695 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Based on all of the non-genetic evidence given, Pete Anderson is guilty. If the verdict was based off of the morphology of X. tortifolia and X. confertifolia, I would say that he was innocent since they are found at the archeological site and the Johnson mine; but that’s not the reality of this case. Although the three Southern plants from Utah looked similar from the outside with the white petals and yellow center, they have different preferences when it comes to soil and location. X. tortifolia plants grow on slopes near the bottom of washes with gray soils, X. confertifolia grows on mesa tops where there’s brown soil and X. cronquistii prefers grey soil but it is rare and appears in only a few places. The fact that X. cronquistii is only found in a few locations is important because the state agent realized (after consulting with the botanist) that X. cronquistii grows in the same area that the looted Anasazi site is in. It appeared that Pete’s innocence was about to be proven when the State Geologist said that the Johnson mine is in the same geological area as the archeological site and it both has soil with a brownish, silty top layer and a gray layer beneath it but…

    • 5 Pages

    The U.S., leads the world in incarceration rate at around 2 million people in jail or prison. Currently, the false conviction rate is around 1 percent. With approximately 2 million in prison that would make 20,000 people locked up for crimes they didn't commit.

    What would it be like if a person was convicted as guilty, but was really innocent? The murder of Hae Min Lee was committed on January 13, 1999. The person found guilty of this crime was Adnan Syed. Adnan was Hae’s boyfriend for a while and they were happy together, according to friends. Sarah Koenig is just a random person to Adnan Syed. She was told about the case by Rabia Chaudry whose brother was Adnan’s friend. Sarah heard what Rabia had to say about the case and was very interested. Since that time, she has done a podcast called, Serial. After investigating, it is clear that Adnan Syed is innocent because after school on the day of the murder, Adnan talked to Asia McClain at the library for a few minutes at 2:30 p.m., Adnan did not obsess over Hae after their breakup, and Mr. S was going to use the restroom in Leakin Park where he found Hae.…

    The third mention of guilt does not have to do with Dunny. Near the end of the novel, Dunny has Boy and Paul, who is now Magnus, over to where he lives. They are admiring the hominess of where Dunny lives. They remark about an odd paperweight that Dunny owns. When Boy asks where he got it, Dunny seems surprised that Boy does not remember it. The rock on Dunny’s desk is the same one that Boy put in the snowball he threw, which hit Mary Dempster when they were kids. Boy seems to have forgotten about this incident, claiming that he does not remember doing it and has completely forgotten everything about his childhood as it will do him no good now. While Boy and Dunny are talking, Dunny asks if Boy remembers anything, he replies by saying “’No.…

    How can a murder trial be fair without a look from both sides? A Jury can’t decide who’s guilty or not guilty based on one story, and no other example shows that more than the trial of Adnan Masud Syed. On January 13th, 1999, Hae Min Lee, a high school senior at Woodlawn High School, went missing. Following this, a search for her ensued, and when her body was found just six weeks later, her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was accused of her murder, and was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, plus thirty years. To put it narrowly, Adnan was wrongly deemed guilty of Hae’s murder, and therefore, he is innocent.…

    Adnan Syed Case Study

    • 1412 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Adnan Syed, 19, was convicted of murder fifteen years ago that placed him in prison for life. Mr. Syed, a Muslim, was charged with the murder of his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, by strangling her and burying her body in Leakin Park. With this in mind, Adnan had a friend, Jay Wilds, who had assisted Adnan in the crime, but walked free out of his trial without having to serve any time in prison. Jay’s testimony of the crime had many inconsistencies that should’ve made him untrustworthy, but the jury still used his story as evidence to decide if Adnan is guilty of murder. Furthermore, the Serial podcast episodes, with Sarah Koenig as the narrator, involves Sarah reviewing the whole case of the crime as she also added many pieces of evidence from family and friends of Adnan and Hae, criminal detectors and the cops to try and discover the truth. The search for the truth without any clear details or information can make it very difficult to come to a conclusion. And after listening to all 12 Serial podcasts, I believe that Adnan deserves another trial, but it wouldn’t change the outcome from the first trial without more evidence.…

    Adnan is in jail and knowing that he may or may not have done it, but Jay changed his story over and over, and Adnan said the same story and didn't change anything and when he thought of something he told them what he remembered. When someone asked Jay if he said something that he said before he would say that he didn't say that, which he did he changed his story to make him look innocent when he probably isn't. Jay should of got sometime in jail instead of no time because they didn't even think of when he helped Adnan dig the hole they didn't ask Adnan if he helped him or not they just went off of what Jay said and what Jay said probably isn't right.…

    The next point on why Adnan is guilty is because of Jay's solid testimony. Jay shows police exactly where hae's car is and leads them to it . ("Once they're finished at headquarters, they all drive out in the middle of the night to where the car is parked, on a grassy hill behind some row houses off Edmondson Avenue. Within a few hours, they'll have a warrant for Adnan's arrest.") Jay knew exactly where Hae’s car was and shows the police exactly where its at. Jay had a big role in this murder and Adnan is still acting like nothing happened. Jay might have some inconsistencies, but he is very consistent with his information and perspective of this whole mess. While in Serial Sara try’s and make him look like a big time drug dealer to try and…

    To sum up this paper, Adnan is guilty. He obviously didn’t appreciate others being picked over him, was hiding his feelings about Hae until the truth comes out straight from her, and he had his family and religion to worry about from day one. Adnan was a very jealous guy, and didn’t care about the ways of his religion, making him a disrespectful person. That is why he is…

    I know that this letter is very overdue and most likely unwanted, and may be seen as “a trap to try and convince people” (Sarah Koenig, Serial, Ep. 11, 33:34). I thought, since I have never provided you with my side of the story, you both may get a better understanding as to the reasons why I continue to maintain my innocence for the murder of Hae. Your daughter was a great part in my life, and although my words may mean nothing to you, I hope that you will hear the truth in my version of events and understand that I, too, am a victim in this tragedy.…
