Jay has given a minimum of seven different stories about what happened on January thirteenth. Four police interviews, two trial testimonies, and most recently, an interview he gave to the Intercept.

Adnan Syed is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, and various factors present him as a very likely suspect. Information put together by the state don’t add up, but instead prove he is innocent. Is Adnan guilty or innocent for his ex-girlfriend’s death? In the Serial Podcast, journalist Sarah Koenig discusses the case, committed almost seventeen years ago, and uncovers new evidence that indicates Adnan’s innocence. Adnan Syed has been viewed as a boyfriend, honor roll student, and a murderer. Many described him as a smart, flirtatious, and a likable high schooler. On January 13, 1999, his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, was murdered. Investigators immediately assumed Adnan as the primary suspect because Hae had broken up with him, a month

What are these wrongdoings you ask? Kang claims that Serial is not so much about the cold case it is investigating, but more so the producer and narrator, Sarah Koenig’s, fixation on the case. He also believes that while Koenig may be well intentioned, she is interpreting and making assumptions on facts of the lives of people within minority communities involved with the case. Another writer, Yang asserts that This American Life’s method of narrative journalism displays “cultural clumsiness” (Yang qtd. Friedersdorf). Friedersdorf argues that these allegations

The main source of evidence that the prosecutors used against Adnan was Jay, who by himself was not a credible informant. There were many inconsistencies in Jay’s testimony, and his side of the story changed each time he was interviewed. As well as Jay’s claims, there were many statements pointing to Adnan’s religious background being a motive for him murdering Hae

This concludes what i think about the serial podcast.

In addition, there were more than one witness who saw Adnan and Hae not together at 2:36 P.M when she was killed, so the police notice that Hae was killed at 3:15 P.M. According to Jay’s story that time he and Adnan was together at the mall. Therefore, Jay lied about where he was, and Adnan does not support Jay’s story.
