But I want to say I remember the timeline being important because Adnan had track practice that day.

Yeah I remember something about track as well. But again, that’s something that could have been built up to be more significant than it actually was by the defense/producers.


Was the coach called as a witness to verify that? I honestly don’t remember. Again, we’re talking about less than half an hour or so. Just don’t remember how significant it all was.



I did notice a few things from reading the opinion and watching the HBO episode.

The letters from Asia are a complete mess and sketchy as hell and I can personally see why a defense attorney wouldn’t have taken them seriously. As said previously that doesn’t change the fact that she had a duty to investigate, but I agree with the high court that it likely wasn’t prejudicial as her testimony could have even hurt the defense they were putting forward.


Also, did Serial talk at all about Adnan’s fingerprint that they found on a map of Leakin Park in Hae’s car?? I don’t remember that, but the opinion states that was evidence admitted into the record.


Also, Hae’s journal had some pretty damning stuff about Adnan and their relationship as it began to sour. Was the journal admitted into evidence?


And just as many including myself find Jay less than credible, I have just as much of an issue with Adnan. His statements about his arrest ring false to me. Said no one told him why he was being arrested until he got downtown? That’s TV bullshite.

Said “Jay who?” when detectives told him Jay gave statements implicating him??

Also, the teacher they showed in this HBO doc offered a damning picture of him as well with both his confronting her when she passed out those questions about Hae and also with his demeanor when her body was found.


His complete lack of emotion about all of this doesn’t seem
