Blog #12 Serial; Guilty?

As I listened to the podcast, I have come to the conclusion that Adnan is innocent. I have many reasons to why I believe this. Such as, ineffective council, lack of evidence, and Adnan’s character. With all of these reasons combined, it is hard to say that Adnan was truly guilty. The entire case itself is truly a mess and should’ve been handled differently. Although, there is one specific reason to why I believe he is in fact innocent. That is, the fact that the states case against Adnan lacked solid evidence. Not one time did the state have a piece of evidence that truly and straight up showed that Adnan was the killer. Over all, if there is one reason to why Adnan is not guilty, it is that the case lacked evidence to convict him as a killer.

While listening to the podcast I realized that there was not one time where a piece of evidence was brought up in which it plainly showed that Adnan killed Hae. Yes, there was so called good evidence. Like, the cell records or even which tower the phone pinged to. Although, the evidence previously mentioned did not always match up with Jay’s story. This is crucial because the states case literally revolves around Jay’s testimony. Besides the cell records, what does the state have that is actual good evidence? That is right, nothing. This is what truly amazes me. The fact that they locked up someone without having solid evidence against them. To put into perspective, an example of solid evidence would be a knife with Adnan’s DNA or even video footage of him strangling Hae to death. So, all in all I truly believe that Adnan is indeed innocent.
