Jay

He was known for being intimidating, scary and mean by people not close to him.

Contrary to that statement, his friends said that he was goofy, a stoner, honest, was odd and his friend Patrick even said that he was intelligent.

Jay knew Adnan through smoking with him, and he was his girlfriend, Stephanie's, best friend.

Stephanie

Jay's girlfriend and one of Adnan's closest friends in highschool.

Adnan got her a stuffed reindeer for her birthday.

After Hae's body was found, Stephanie refused to speak with anyone about the incident.

They weren't close, only acquaintances.

Testified to the fact that Adnan killed Hae Min Lee.

Jenn

Cathy

Jay and Adnan crashed at Cathy's place after Adnan apparently buried the body. They were acting suspicious and Cathy ended up calling Jenn and informing her of their behavior.

Jenn and Jay were close.

Jay called Jenn after the body was buried and asked her to pick him up. She then supposedly assisted Jay in disposing of his clothing.

Jay says Adnan lent him his car so he could buy a birthday present for his girlfriend, Stefanie, who was also Adnan's friend. He left his phone.

Adnan then called from Best Buy asking Jay to pick him up, and that he had killed Hae.

Jay was interviewed by detectives on February 28.

Adnan Syed

Convicted for the murder of Hae, his former girlfriend.

Represented by Christina Gutierrez in court.

Rabia stated that she believed Christina butchered the case for more money.

She fell sick and was hospitalized, although she still worked on cases in the hospital.

She passed away due to a heart attack January thirtieth, 2004.

Sarah disagreed with Rabia, and said that when she reviewed the transcripts and videos from court, Christina appeared to be constantly attempting to help Adnan.

Adnan also said that Christina was constantly helping him, that she even made sure he had his glasses and medicine for his skin.

During Adnan's first trial, Christine began to argue with the judge because she supposedly hadn't been presented the cell records previous to when court began. This led to the judge calling for a mistrial.

In the second trial which occurred one month later, Christina got Mr. S onto the stand as a hostile witness. Additionally, Christina spent most of that trial trying to pin the blame onto Jay.

She attempted to drive the point that Jay switched some critical points in his story multiple times, in and out of court. Once again, it didn't provoke a reaction out of Jay, despite her aggressive behaviour.

Her main point was that the prosecutor in the case provided Jay with a lawyer, completely free of charge. This was dismissed because Jay seemed unaware that the lawyer was a potential bribe.

Another family whom she represented said that she misused her money which she said she needed for a professional, and that professional ended up going to the family for the money. Their son, who she was defending, ended up getting convicted for the murder of his younger brother.

One of her coworkers confirmed that she had been slipping for years.

Later, a private investigator locates her and visits her household. A man answers and tells them to leave without fully opening the door.
