[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in the rabbit hole on this since Serial - listening to Undisclosed, reading the blogs, following the case, watching/listening to the hearings.....that said, I'm not an encyclopedia so there are details I'm not 100% firm on.

The issue with Don isn't that it was his mother - it was that his mother was in a same sex relationship, and the manager who approved his timecards was his mother's life partner.  But, no one knew this at the time - they just saw he sometimes worked at his mother's store, sometimes at this other store managed by another person, and the day Hae disappeared he was at the other store, signed off by this other manager.  The relationship was only discovered publicly AFTER Serial.  (I've simplified it a bit, but that's the gist).

There have been other discoveries, too, and the HBO special will cover them, as well as some new things.  (like the whole Debbie/Don thing - it never quite made sense in Serial - a 7 hour conversation, what? but is clearer now that he was hitting on Debbie).   I think the revelations that Hae was sexually abused are also new.

I"m 90% on the side he is innocent.  There are some hinky things with Adnan and his phone and loaning out his car and Jay stuff that give me slight pause.  I don't think Undisclosed covered those things satisfactorily, so I'm eager to see how this less biased documentary covers Jay and Jen and all. I do think the Baltimore police are corrupt and I don't believe their take (though the detective who appeared was more believable than I expected him to be - knowing more about his background, he's part of the problem in this case but he came across as sympathetic and a good cop).
