Serial listeners. I enjoyed listening, but must confess, I do not entirely buy it despite being a really well done podcast and I think it overlooks the most important issue- this is not an isolated incident. The legal system in the United States is over saturated with mistrials of justice that are even more outrageous and in many cases have people on death row. It is not about one prosecutor, or a few details some police missed. It is also not about the witness Jay or his discrepancies which ultimately do not prove him a liar as much as it means, like Adnan he cannot remember every detail of that day. (I still find Jays testimony compelling.) As for the cell phone records, I see the problem on the timeline. In fact I see many legal problems with the case as a whole. However motive see no motive for Jay and when I think about his narrative it makes more sense to me than any alternative presented. I think reflecting on and reevaluating this case and/or others is interesting in that it shows so many perspectives. Many cases have these interesting details. As for injustices, there are much greater ones than this and more importantly they are systemic issues not isolated incidents or anomalies. I have enjoyed talking about it with fellow listeners and I have enjoyed listening to it. Ultimately I simply am not compelled of Adnans innocence as much as him receiving a typically flawed trial full of problems that plague our legal system as a whole. I think that the narrative heavily favors his innocents, despite efforts to make it as objective as possible. I wonder where this was for young men like the West Memphis 3 or the numerous political prisoners whose cases are much more obvious miscarriages of justice. (political = lets not talk about it)
