Serial - the Hearing

...

All of Jay’s interviews and his testimony for this case were filled with lies and fibs, which also makes this story hard to piece together. This makes sense because people have said that Jay often made up stories. With each story, more details would have been added in. Maybe it was not Jay, rather a sergeant who was suspected of committing other crimes. On December 13th, 1999, another Korean woman was strangled. This man, referred to as Ronald Lee Moore, was linked to two other rapes and a murder. He was released from prison on January 1st, 1999. This was thirteen days before Hae disappeared, which seems very strange. Since he had committed suicide, Sarah was unable to speak with him (Episode 12, Serial Podcast).

By looking at all of this evidence, many arguments can be made about where Adnan was at the time of the murder and if he killed Hae or not. Not only does some evidence point to him being the murderer, but there is also evidence proving he is innocent. The Nisha call is very sketchy, but it could have been a butt dial. In addition, Adnan was at the library according to Asia alibi and they had a conversation. The Best Buy that Adnan supposedly called Jay from did not even have payphones outside as Jay said. The palm print on the Leakin Park map could have been from a long time ago and there were handprints from other people. People said that Adnan was obsessing over the breakup, but very few people with side chicks are preoccupied with a previous relationship.

The hearing ended on January 1st, 2016 at 5:00 pm, and the final verdict was Adnan Syed was granted an early release. Adnan’s lawyers were able to prove his innocents to the Jury. Jay Wilds failed to show up to the hearing, which had aided in Adnan’s case. After the Judge announced his final decision, you could see the whole court in shock with many mixed feelings. I immediately looked to Adnan and his family, all I could see were tears and their eyes filled with joy – their miracle came true. Adnan collapsed to the floor, clinching his fist together because finally, there was justice he longed hoped for. Although there is plenty of evidence to prove or refute the idea that Adnan Syed is guilty, Adnan is innocent. This leads to the conclusion that Adnan Syed is an innocent man, and wrongly convicted for this crime.
