Parents never will accept that their own child who was raised with comfort, love and support could be capable of murder somebody. Disturbing people could be disguised very well under a charming appearance. Many serial killers were known as decent, brilliant and admired persons.

    This reason makes sense because Asia and even a friend of hers claim that they saw and even spoke to Adnan that day and at that time Hae was murdered. This part of the story is when Asia found out Adna was arrested so she wrote him a letter explaining what she remembered about seeing him that day and time. This is from the letter “Im not sure if you remember talking to me in the library january 13’th,but I remember”. This means Adnan is innocent because he was not murdering Hae at the time he was at the library. Therefore Adnan is innocent because Asia’s letters prove that he was at the library at the time Hae was

    So, because there has not been any evidence presented that can prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, Adnan is not guilty. The first piece of evidence against Adnan is a testimony given by his acquaintance and partner-in-crime, Jay. The State uses this as one of their main claims. However, there are many reasons why this is the wrong way to go. First of all, the State is using circumstantial evidence, meaning that this ‘proof’ depends on whether or not Jay is telling the truth.

    There was several pieces of evidence that helped build the case, but none was enough to actually convict Adnan of murder. For instance, there was no DNA evidence that proved Adnan killed Hae. DNA evidence was found in Hae’s car that belonged to Adnan, but then again Adnan had been in Hae’s car before since they had dated for a while. Sarah even asked her own nephew, Sam, to recall what he did on a specific night six weeks ago and he seemed very torn about his answer. Sam says, “Not a clue”.

    First off, Adnan had always felt a little guilty for dating her because she wasn’t Muslim like him. It didn’t really look good in their religion when people did things like that.

Her body had been found wrapped in plastic bags and then covered with a floral patterned quilt, buried not too far under the ground. Detective Gregg said her hands had been tied with plastic cables, which were also used to strangle her. Police also found a scarf around her neck. “When Leanne's body was found we discovered a number of bindings on her body. Her hands had been bound,” Gregg said. A black bag covered her head, secured in place by a leather dog collar. Her hair was still in the same ponytail she had it in on the day she disappeared, with the same hairbands and clips attached. The only items missing were her jacket and her boots. Forensic scientists were believed Tiernan’s body had been frozen after her death up until a few weeks of her body’s discovery, based on the state of decomposition of her body .

    Asia was the only person that could give Adnan a functional alibi that would have made it impossible for him to have murdered Hae, he simply would not have had enough time to go from place to place. The alibi Asia has for Adnan that day is: “And she told me,'that day after school I went to the public library and Adnan was sitting at a computer, checking email or something and I sat down next to him, we started chatting.'” (Koenig, “The Alibi”) The time frame for which Adnan was at the library was around 2:30pm and Hae was murdered at 2:36pm. This is a six minute window there is no possible way that Adnan would have been able to leave school, meet up with Hae, strangle her, meet up with Jay at Bestbuy, and then proceed to go and bury Hae's body, there is just no way. Asia was Adnan's perfect alibi, there were even two more people with her—her boyfriend and his friend—to testify that they also saw Adnan at the library.

If Jay tells us the truth, he brings Adnan to school, holds onto Adnan’s cellphone and car so he could pick Adnan up when Adnan calls; picks Adnan up after he committed the murder, cruises around with Adnan, and brings Adnan to track practice. Additionally, Jay cruises around with Adnan in the afternoon, accompanies Adnan to LeakIn park and aids Adnan in digging the hole to bury Hae. Which criminal incriminates oneself? When Jay speaks about picking up Adnan he says: “I noticed that Hae wasn't with him. I parked next to him. He asked me to get out the car. I get out the car. He asks me, am I ready for this? And I say, ready for what? And he takes the keys. He opens the trunk. And all I can see is Hae's lips are all blue, and she's pretzeled up in the back of the trunk. And she's dead.” Jay goes to pick up Adnan from the actual murder and describes the episode in detail.
