Evidence Board Explaination

Introduction

The Board Is setup in a way that measures importance to the case by the size of the part, which parts connect to whom by who they are attatched to, and highlighted in Pink to show connection to the view of Adnan is guilty and in Cyan to show which parts give credibility to Adnan being not guilty. The conclusion will count each highlight and explain the evidence.

Adnan Syed

Adnan Syed is the biggest suspect within the case and was charged with the murder of Hae Min Lee. He was seen at the library at the time of the murder by Asia; however, he was also said to be seen after school at 2:45 PM and also 3:30 PM. He was said to have asked for a ride that day from Hae. He was denied the ride as she said she couldn't do it. Going off of Jay, Adnan was at the Best Buy later in the day and called Jay on the Payphone, which has no records of existing. When Jay got there, Adnan showed him the body and then dropped Hae's car off somewhere. After that, they went around the city buying weed, smoking it and then came back to bring Hae to Leakin Park where they both buried her.

Inability to Remember the Day

Small point, but Adnan has been seen over many calls that he doesn't completely remember what he was doing that day. While suspicious in nature, most people do forget what happens within a normal day and don't remember everything.

Inability to Remember the Day

Jay Wilds

He was the major evidence that the police had to go off of. He ended up retelling a story that seemed to line up with the events of the murder. He mentioned Leakin Park as the burial site. This occurence of the story lining up rather well with what they thought happened led to this story being the basis of the case.

Changing Story

The Patapsco Lie

Jay ended up saying, in one of the many interviews, that him and Adnan got some weed, went up to the Patapsco State Park and smoked up there. The state park is a rather long drive away and it wouldn't have fit in with the time Adnan had to be back for practice.

Conclusion

Evidence for Adnan: 14
