A boatload of people don’t think Adnan killed that girl. Are they “evil” too? Is it really “evil” to take what you know about a situation and form an opinion, despite what a jury decides?
Well Adnan has since been acquitted, so, a little different
No he hasnt
Because he’s guilty—yet everyone had a ball trying to pick the case apart. This case is different, I suppose, because here the victims can talk, and it’s problematic to suggest a woman would lie about being raped. It was fine to pick apart Jay’s testimony because he wasn’t the victim (or a particularly noble person at the time of the incident).
I don’t really have a point.
DP. I’ve always thought adnan was guilty however o think that the real issue is 1) his victims family made a really misguided decision to stay out of the spotlight and did not participate in serial which led to adnan’s view shaping the whole narrative and 2) adnan truly has an incompetent lawyer who was a drunk and later disbarred so I do not think he got a fair trail despite him actually being guilty. Neither of those situations apply to Danny Masterson.
Cristina Gutierrez was not an incompetent attorney, nor was she a drunk. She suffered from multiple sclerosis and diabetes, and like many defense attorneys, she gave far too much to her work and didn't know when to quit in preservation of her own health. She made mistakes in her final years practicing law while very ill, and she made no objection to disbarment, after which the bar dropped its investigations into complaints clients had made against her. There was never any evidence that she intentionally shirked her clients but rather that her practice was compromised by her cognitive abilities being compromised by her severe health issues. If anything, Cristina's case is one that shows how the legal community often fails to support peers and get them help when they need it.
As for Adnan - he may not have been acquitted, but it is a very significant thing when the prosecutor tells the court that they no longer have confidence in a conviction. That is the prosecution saying, in effect, that they don't think a jury would or should have found guilt on the evidence as it now exists.
It is in effect a declaration of the existence of substantial reasonable doubt.
