Adnan Syed is guilty

After researching more about the case and reviewing outside sources I believe that Adnan Syed is guilty for the crime.

                There are many sources such as The Telegraph that claim Adnan’s trial was botched and that there was not enough physical evidence to convict him. Adnan also received poor legal advisement and his lawyer failed in some of her duties by not using the witness who reports that they saw Adnan in the library at the time of the crime. Due to the faults of Adnan’s lawyer Adnan will be getting a retrial and because of this and the podcast Serial many people do believe that Adnan is innocent, however I believe the opposite.

                I think that Adnan is guilty because while there is a lack of physical evidence the small amount that was provided and the statements from Jay are enough to convince me and apparently the jury that Adnan is guilty. Although Jay’s story was shaky at times and changed frequently he still makes the bold claim that he helped Adnan bury the body of the victim and his story can be solidified by the proof in the cell phone records. The article written on Reddit “Top Ten Reasons Adnan Syed is Guilty of Murder Beyond a Reasonable Doubt in This World but Innocent in the Intergalactic Multiverse” also shows many important details to remember when reviewing this case. Some of the largest points against Adnan in this article include certain statistical probabilities such as “Over 90% of women murdered by men are murdered by someone they know.” A second major thing that the article writes about are multiple times where Adnan can be caught lying. In total I think that Adnan killed Hae Min Lee because he had a reason to want to kill her as they had just broken up. I also find it far too convenient for Adnan to not remember what he was doing during that time. While the average person may not be able to remember what they did months ago, after such a long time in prison and during the case I think that he would be able to remember something of what he was doing especially since if he had truly been doing something else he could have proved his innocence.

In conclusion while there are good reasons for Adnan to have a retrial and for the case to be looked into further I still think that Adnan is guilty and is just using his lawyer’s fault’s during the case as a excuse to get another chance to get away with the crime.
