...In the 2010–11 Süper Lig season, Galatasaray had finished 8th in the league table with 14 wins, 4 draws and 16 losses, which was the worst outcome in the club's history of 107 years. Right after the last game of the season, the club announced a council meeting in order to elect a new board. During his first month, the fledgling Galatasaray chairman Ünal Aysal's first task was to bring in İnan to the team. Although the previous Galatasaray board which was run by Adnan Polat already had an agreement with Trabzonspor in the Selçuk İnan case during the 2010–11 season, it was the new board that brought in the player for free as İnan's contract with Trabzonspor was over. After the first 4 games of the new season, Galatasaray had 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which didn't seem so promising to the fans, although there was a remarkable sense of change in the team, especially in the midfield area. İnan started to lead the team as weeks went by, which finally enabled Galatasaray to have 10 wins in a row, finish the first half of the season with 37 points, on the top of the league. By the end of week 34, right before the Süper Final series, Galatasaray was the top scoring and least conceding team in the league, and had a 9-point gap with their closest competitors, Fenerbahçe. Selçuk in a September 2011 match against Samsunspor İnan scored his first official goal for Galatasaray against Samsunspor in September 18, 2011. His first free kick goal came against his former club Trabzonspor...

...lie in the unconscious minds of our peers. Stereotyping is a persistent human tendency that we are taught to suppress due to prejudiced outcomes that occur from action. However, not everyone is taught to remove, or at least restrain, these negative connotations, which can often lead to a clear bias before a presented decision is made. Looking at the case and trial of Adnan Syed, it is clear to see how strongly courtroom bias has influenced the outcome of this trial. The tenth episode of the podcast focuses on the trial of Hae Min Lee’s death, but a large portion of it discusses Adnan's convictions. At the beginning of the episode, it discusses the standard order of law known as “removal for cause”...

...against Adnan Syed was the first case in the state of Maryland to rely on phone records as their main piece of evidence to convict someone of a murder. This is just one of the questionable pieces of evidence in Adnan’s conviction. In a situation like this it is usually the ex-boyfriend who did it. But obviously that’s not always the case; Adnan was convicted based on the jury’s cliche knowledge of similar situations. Adnan Syed could not have killed Hae Min Lee because the timeline doesn’t add up and several outside sources saw Adnan during the day. The first reason Adnan is innocent is because the timeline wasn’t accurate. Sarah and her partner tested the route and Sarah said, “ I am one-hundred percent sure that if someone tried to do it, it’d be impossible”. Sarah also said, “ This crime could not have been committed according to this set of facts”(Koenig, “Route Talk”). The timeline given to Sarah did not matchup with what happened. If it’s not possible to commit the crime in the given time interval, how is Adnan guilty? Usually the main piece of evidence in a case like this is really strong and...

...Although some may say that Adnan is chill, Adnan is sketchy because people say that Adnan asked for a ride from Hae. Adnan’s story feels really sketchy. Adnan is saying that he never asked for a ride from Hae but friends say that Adnan asked for a ride from Hae. Adnan sounds really sketchy when he was saying that he was not ever asking for a ride because it was also unclear when he was saying it. In Serial Episode 2, Sarah Koenig said, “The trouble for Adnan is that a couple of their friends say he did ask Hae for a ride. One of them was her friend Krista” (“Episode 02: The Breakup”). Whenever Adnan said that he was sounding very unclear. When his friend Krista mentioned it, it sounded more clear than when Adnan said anything about that. Another...

...evidence found during the re-investigation of the murder of Hae Min Lee. The state’s stance on the case was against Adnan Syed, who was accused of killing Hae, his ex-girlfriend. They presented him as a possessive, jealous ex-boyfriend who could not stand that Hae dated someone else shortly after their breakup. However, after discovering conflicting information within Jay’s stories, recent connections to another serial killer, and the previous defence lawyer’s negligence, I have more reasons to believe that Adnan is innocent. The Evidence and its Implications The state’s main evidence against Adnan was Jay’s testimony and stories from two previous interrogations. However, upon...

...Adnan Syed was convicted for girling his ex-girlfriend, Hae, in Baltimore approximately sixteen years ago. Adnan has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt due to the credibility of Jay’s testimony, suspicious behaviour, physical evidence and witnesses. The state began by explaining how Adnan had to put ‘everything on the line for his relationship with Hae.’ His family, his relationships at the mosque, and his religion are all examples of parts of his life that he must sacrifice for Hae. Over time, this slowly built up resentment towards Hae in the form of possession. Therefore, when Hae finally left him, he was left with nothing but outrage fueling his desire to kill her. In fact, Hae reveals, through her diary, that she felt guilty for being a sacrifice to his religion. Apparently, Adnan would sometimes jokingly say ‘I’m going to hell because of you’ or ‘You’re the devil.’ In addition, when Adnan was senior king for his homecoming dance; his family found him and directly...

...sympathetic as he may seem, Adnan Syed is guilty for the murder of Asia McClain. The media wants to believe that Syed is innocent, and the Podcast members want you to believe it too. I’am here to tell you otherwise. Now Sarah Koenig may treat this like a standard wrongful conviction case, but by looking at the evidence, it surely isn’t so. The main reasons why Adnan is guilty is because of his Behavior around Hae, Adnan’s lack of emotion toward Jay if being wrongly accused, and the final reason being the phone calls at Leakin Park from Adnan’s phone, which is where the Body of Hae was found during the evening. Being protective is a good thing, especially when caring for a loved one, but...

...say that Adnan Syed was treated unfairly on his first trial and deserves a second chance. After analyzing all of the evidence brought to light by Koenig, it seems that Serial shifted from a narrative perspective to an argumentative perspective. Koenig struck listeners with evidence from both sides of the story while continuing to keep the reader guessing. She also likes to shift her view point when Adnan looks guilty, or when he looks innocent. Depending on how the investigation is going, Koenig always seems to find questions and holes in the story that just don’t add up, leading to the conclusion that Adnan deserves a new trial. To start off, Koenig definitely argued many different factors which lead the audience to develop...

...Yes Or No Every person has an opinion on a very difficult topic that has been investigated for a while. Serial has been going over Adnan being guilty or innocent of killing his ex girlfriend Hae. Every episode has been lead to him being guilty or the state making the wrong claims. Sarah Koenig has broken down the case and gone over different aspects on why he could be innocent and why he could be guilty. Adnan despite the discrepancies is guilty of murdering Hae. Here is some counter arguments to some of the evidence against Adnan being guilty. For instance most of the evidence can be used either way. Like the phone records, they are credible and they mark out the route that Jae says, but then again Jae could have had Adnan’s phone. Jae told police he helped Adnan dump the body. Jae could have dumped the body for all we know they both could. The evidence is all circumstantial to say the least so this doesn’t...

...I’m trying to figure out if Adnan is guilty or not, but i’m stuck. I’m in a pickle. There is evidence that makes it seem like Adnan killed her, but there is also evidence that proves he didn’t do it. Adnan says he didn’t kill her, but his friend Jay says he did. Adnan is mainly in jail because of the story Jay told the Police. There was no physical evidence that Adnan killed Hae besides a couple fingerprints and Jay’s story. The state used Adnan's religion against him in court. Adnan was Muslim so there was no dating, no drinking, and no smoking. Adnan broke all of those rules. Adnan lied and hid that he had a girlfriend from his parents. The court thinks that if he could lie about not having a girlfriend he could lie about not killing her. Since Adnan kept secrets and told lies the state is using that against him in court. The state also labeled him as bipolar. They thought that maybe when they broke up he got furious and killed her. There was no physical evidence to prove that Adnan killed her. The only so called evidence they had was Jay’s story....

...occurred. Later on, when asked about it, the man said that he never saw a body and didn’t know anybody named Adnan—though he was friends with Jay. The call to the police also happened months after Adnan was charged, meaning that it was very likely that they would have known about Hae’s murder (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). This, coupled with the fact that the man never reported the incident himself and later claimed it wasn’t true, makes it clear that it was either an attempt by someone to get their five minutes of fame by connecting themselves to the nearby murder or the events heavily changed as they passed from ear to ear. As the man was friends with Jay, it is also...

Sarah Koenig carefully guides her listeners though events leading up to the conviction of Adnan Syed, serving a life sentence since 1999.

Koenig’s superb storytelling, investigative reporting and interviews with the people involved in the trial, delivers granular details that call into question the court’s decision. Leaving listeners baffled as they tried to decide whether or not he actually did it. As the true-life mystery podcast Serial captivated millions, an appeal attempting to throw out the life sentence of the convicted murderer, at the story's center is winding its way through court.

...Original title: The English Language performance of ‘Orang Asli’ pupils at primary level in Malaysia: an extensive case study of a Malaysian state Authors: Zuraihan Abd Kassim & Airil Haimi Mohd Adnan BEd TESL programme & UfoRIA UiTM Perak, Malaysia Abstract: English has long been an important subject in Malaysian schools. In fact, the Ministry of Education has recently introduced a new syllabus for Mathematics and Science subjects to be taught in English. Unfortunately, learning a second language is not an easy task as the learner needs to be receptive, responsive and know the value of the language. Certain factors also influence the learner’s capability in acquiring English: attitudes and motivation are some of them. This empirical study examines the performance of ‘Orang Asli’ students in the English language as related to the above factors. This research is the result of our frustration in trying to upgrade the level of English among Orang Asli students. We also wanted to know whether the problems faced by English teachers (in teaching this group of students) are similar across different contexts and situations. In order to limit the scope of this research, we have chosen two language skills namely reading and writing, to explore the complex issues that we have highlighted above. Our efforts were primarily focused on students’ performance in these two language skills, as both skills are important for students to acquire English as a whole. We also felt that these two...

...February 28, 1999 Adnan Syed was arrested at age 17 for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Adnan and Hae were in a relationship, it was an on and off again relationship. Around the time of the murder Adnan and Hae were no longer together and Hae was dating someone else. Adnan had allegedly strangled Hae with his own hands in the best buy parking lot, and buried Hae’s body in Leakin park with the help of Jay. Jay is Adnan’s friend. Then they had hid Hae’s vehicle. Adnan deserves a new trial because of the alibi witness that had was never brought to testify, Adnan’s lawyer who had not done her case properly, and very weak evidence against Adnan. As soon as Adnan’s peer had heard the news of his arrest they were in shock. One of the evidences was Adnan’s...
