5 Things "Serial" Left Me Dying To Know
Huffington Post

1. Why did Jay Wilds change the narrative?

Jay gave multiple statements upon talking with police in interviews. In them, he changes the location multiple times as to where Adnan initially showed him the body. The police never pressed him about this, nor did Adnan's original lawyer, Gutierrez.

2. Why did Adnan's lawyer refuse to contact an alibi witness?

The big blunder of this whole case is that the defendant, Adnan, has always been unable to remember where he was the time his ex-girlfriend went missing. While imprisoned, Adnan received a letter from a friend saying that she specifically remembers seeing him in the school library the specific time the state says Adnan was killing Hae Min Lee. Great, right? Wrong. Adnan brought the letters to his lawyer, which she never even contacted her. What's even worse is that she lied to Adnan and said Asia had mistaken the day.

3. Why would Jay even come forward to the cops?

Jay came forward to the Baltimore police back in 1999 and implicated himself as an accomplice in the murder of Hae Min Lee. If you believe Adnan that he didn't do it, what would be Jay's motivation for speaking up? This is a major component that implies the possible guilt of solely Jay and draws on his fears that the police might find his DNA so he feels compelled to come forward, but manipulate the story so that he takes a back seat to the murder. Either that or he had an enormous amount of guilt about what happened and feared Adnan would turn it around on him.

4. Why did the jury convict Adnan on only one eyewitness's testimony?

Possibly the weakest evidence is eyewitness testimony never mind just one eyewitness testimony. It is often known that people mistake what they see, hear and do when recalling past events from their memory. Also, needless to say, eyewitness testimony is often bias and circumstantial. So why did the jury convict Adnan to life in prison just because one person said he did it? Also, when I tell you they found no DNA evidence of Adnan's, I mean nothing at all. The only evidence the state had was Jay's statements.

5. Why is no one looking at Mr. S? Or the recently released convicted rapist/murderer?

Mr. S, AKA the man who found Hae's body, did so under suspicious circumstances. He claimed to have needed to stop by the park and urinate on the way back to work, and that is where he found her body. But, based on Mr. S's statements, the walk from where he parked his car to where her body was found was remarkably long for someone needing to urinate outside in the middle of February in Maryland. Not to mention he is a repeat offender for indecent exposure. Speaking of sketchy people, there was also a convicted rapist and murderer who was released around the time Hae went missing. The police nor any of Adnan's lawyers ever looked into either of these people. What's really going on with this case?


*Adnan's conviction of first-degree murder was recently overturned and he is an innocent man again, but remains in jail whilst waiting for a new trial*

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
