This is from March and there was a thread on it then.

He couldn't have believed that he could have killed her and never be questioned.

Really? I think it's actually kind of brilliant to "not remember". No way to fact check that or put holes in a false alibi.

I just binge listened to the whole series over the past week and a half and I walk away thinking he probably did it but that it shouldn't have been enough evidence to put him in jail for life.

I agree there's something fishy, and something he's hiding. Maybe what he's hiding is that he did it, but maybe not.

I just don't see the evidence to convict though. The only evidence against him was Jay's story. And Jay's story is chock full of holes and inconsistencies.

It's so interesting to me that people can say this with any certainty. I definitely think he is lying or not being as forthcoming about where he was and what he was doing as he could be. But to say he definitely did it? I just don't see enough evidence for that. I really don't know how a jury convicted him.

It's interesting to me the first case ended in mistrial. Generally, a second case is stronger for the prosecution, abler correct any mistakes or mis-steps from the first trial. We may think "there's reasonable doubt here" but given rules of evidence and the nature of trials, who's to know?

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

I've been waffling but pretty convinced he's guilty now. He knew the day she went missing and still says he can't remember what he did that day? So it's not just that they were trying to get him to remember what he did 6 weeks later - that's a day that must have stood out. "I can't remember" seems just too easy rather than making up a story that gets you caught when it doesn't pan out.

I don't know if he did it but I sure as shit think he was involved in some way. And if he walks because he "couldn't remember" so many details of that day yet his case was shaking, a guilty man will go free.

well, he has already served 15 years. in civilized countries they don't sentence children or adolescents to life+30.

I think he actually played Sarah. If his sentence gets overturned it will be on a technicality not that he's innocent.

He totally did. The case is not complicated from a common sense perspective. I grant though that there were some issues on the trial side but I'm not talking about specific rules of evidence. From the POV of "come on - get real" can anyone with a straight face really think he wasn't involved? This is real life - not Ms Marple. There are rarely surprise twist endings.

Adnan did it.

I liked the last episode. You?

I"m not going to read this thread b/c I don't want to ruin it for me but I have a confession.

I'm 41 and I just watched Ira and Mary tell me how to get a podcast on my IPhone. So embarrassed.
