was he guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with the evidence

I have to agree (based on what the podcast reveled) the case was weak and to serve life in prison without conclusive evidence? just sucks.
That Jay knew where the car is makes the whole random serial killer was involved unlikely

Also, why would Adnan lie to protect someone else (as there is a running thread that someone else could be involved)…he is doing life.
It would be different if he was doing 10 years or something


That both Don or Adnan  didn't call her after she is said to be missing?to me is odd
Not one single attempt
Also that Don's mom owns the store that was his alibi?well makes him a little more suspect to me

Don's comment 'when the cops call and say someone is missing?you think hard about that day and the last time you saw that person and what you were doing'  so that Adnan can't remember much seems unlikely

The Innocence Project Tells Serial Fans What Might Happen Next
http://time.com/3639655/serial-innocence-project-deirdre-enright/

If there?s a possibility that Ronald Moore or somebody else did this, then why would Jay say he?d helped Syed dispose of Lee?s body?

I have no idea. But I wonder about whether Jay somehow got involved with people who had some other entire scheme going on and it?s them he?s afraid of. Because even now he appears to be terrified, and Adnan is in jail so how could it be Adnan that he?s afraid of?

In Josh?s account in the last episode there are these people Jay?s worried about while he?s at work. It sounded like what they were trying to suggest is he?s worried about Adnan, but it makes more sense to me that there?s somebody else he?s worried about entirely that?s not Adnan. And he just realizes that [the police are suspicious of] Adnan, and he knows Adnan is this teenager who isn?t going to hurt him.

When Sarah spoke to Jay on the show, one of the comments she reported him saying was, ?Well if it?s not Adnan, who was it?? And I thought, ?Who says that?? It was such a bizarre comment.

There's a huge amount of confirmation bias or "seeing what you want to see" going on there. The Innocense Project would love a highly famous convicted person to be acquitted. What she's proposing is literally more improbable than the prosecution's general narrative by a factor of one hundred.

I was laughing hysterically when her and her producer built a sled and attached a horse to it. "We just couldn't make it happen!"

For the record, I was trail running near there, and my friend needed a last minute Christmas present.

Did anyone attempt to strangle you? Was there a pay phone in the lobby? How long did it take you to get there? Details, K8teebug, details!

Wait, were there payphones outside or in the vestibule?

What do people use for podcasts on Android?  I tried a couple and they annoyed me right off the bat.


I use BeyondPod after using Pocket Casts for a long time.

I get so frustrated that I actually finish the damn sentence for her.

Anybody listening to Start Up?  It feels like the next logical follow on to Serial…

Just wanted to check with Jules if this is proper usage of META?

When I meet radio producer Alex Blumberg, he is wearing the tennis shoes that his wife made him change out of for a meeting with a business investor in episode one of Startup. That?s Blumberg?s new podcast about how he is starting his own podcast business (he is aware that it?s meta).

It is a correct usage. Near textbook usage of META, in fact.
