![]() It is not every day that a teenager would be able to come up with such an elaborate and detailed scheme so easily. However, if Jay was lying on the spot, it would be very difficult for him unless he had rehearsed everything beforehand. I also thought that Jay was lying, and considered it ridiculous that the police based the whole case off of Jay’s testimony. The podcast made Jay seem like he was lying because he was initially unsure about giving out information and then somehow managed to recite an entire story. And when Jay began, he didn’t stop all of a sudden, Jay started to spew out information with great quality of detail. ![]() Due to his uncooperative behavior, the police had to put a lot of pressure on Jay so that he would give his testimony. During the police testimony, when Jay was interviewed, he was very reluctant in giving information. Jay was one of Adnan’s best friends and they knew each other really well. The next piece of damning evidence is Jay’s testimony. Although it may not be biological evidence, the letter that Syed receives and the diary entries of Hae are pieces of physical evidence that cast suspicions on Syed and his involvement with the murder. The phrase “I’m going to kill” has strong verb usage to suggest that the action will happen, making Hae’s case more suspicious as she was murdered two months later. This level of anger is quite strange even for a teenager, especially one who has been claiming that he wasn’t unusually upset over the breakup the aggressive tone is in stark contrast to the person Koenig had initially presented in the first episode. This shows that Adnan’s level of anger was not normal, although he said that he was over her. The contents of the note were rather similar to what most breakup notes would contain, however, the most significant aspect about the letter is what Syed scribbles on the top of the letter, saying “I’m going to kill”. There was also a handwritten breakup letter that Hae had sent to Adnan in November of 1998, two months before her murder. This does not seem like the usual behaviur of someone who has “moved on”, as Adnan would like everyone to believe. Hae’s diary entries had valuable information suggesting that Adnan was not taking the break up too well, and she felt threatened by his behavior, with one entry even stating that Hae asked teachers to keep her away from Syed. However, Hae’s diary portrays a different story. ![]() However, hearing the last episode, where Koenig began to doubt Adnan’s innocence, made me change my opinion to think that Adnan is guilty.įrom the first episode, Adnan has always insisted that his relationship and eventual breakup with Hae Min Lee was amicable. Hearing the testimonies of those who had known Adnan in the first episode and the way Koenig presented the evidence throughout the podcast had me convinced that Adnan was innocent. ![]() Personally, this podcast has led me to change my opinion on the case multiple times. The podcast focused on this particular case in order to discover the truth behind the events that led to Hae Min Lee’s death, but the facts that were unearthed led to the development of many debates, with one major side thinking that Adnan is guilty, and the other side believing that he’s innocent. Serial is a podcast narrated by Sarah Koenig that makes entertainment in the form of investigative journalism. ![]()
