I know that’s a pretty expansive claim to make. I’m not trying to be hyperbolic here, or to exaggerate for effect. But while the prosecution then went on to continually assert, at every opportunity, that Jay was a “credible” witness, there was simply no objective basis for believing that Jay was likely to tell the truth when he testified at Adnan’s trial. At trial, the prosecutor told the jury, “Let’s talk about Jay because, clearly, this case hinges on his testimony” (Brief of Appellant at 40). The state has itself acknowledged that Jay was the alpha and the omega of its case against Adnan. The fact that Jay is a completely incredible witness is not evidence that Adnan is innocent. But that doesn’t change the fact that the state’s evidence was based entirely on the uncorroborated testimony of a self-acknowledged liar with a motive to falsely incriminate Adnan. Now, it’s possible that Adnan is still guilty of Hae’s murder, and that the state managed to get the right guy, even if they didn’t have much to go on. It’s about the evidence that we don’t have - and that’s evidence that Jay is telling the truth about Adnan’s involvement in Hae’s death. This post, however, is not about the evidence that we have. Look at your answers to the previous questions.In a later post, I plan on expanding further on Adnan’s cell phone records and the related witness testimony, and discussing what we can reconstruct about Hae’s murder from the existing evidence.The narrator describes Adnan as having “big brown eyes, like a dairy cow” (19:45).What’s the difference in denotation? What’s the difference in connotation? Does this difference show up in your own life? The state portrays Adnan as “duplicitous.” Sarah and Saad phrase it differently: “We all grew up with that dual personality” that comes with being a “normal kid with immigrant parents” (10:00).What does the narrator mean when she says Adnan and his friends were “healthy American teenagers who were going to do what teenagers do, so long as they didn’t get caught” (10:00)?. How is a “teeny weeny bag of marijuana” (6:58) different than a “small amount of drugs?”.What does it mean when someone is “loosey-goosey” with details (8:09)? How is the denotation and connotation different from “lying” or “committing perjury”?.It is important to understand the difference between denotation and connotation of words, Look up the definition before you answer the following questions. There are also interesting artifacts to explore there.
The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found." A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. He says he's innocent - though he can't exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon.
Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day.
