And how did they know where to find the car
They had already found the car before Jay provided this info. The detectives had no intention of doing any real investigating once they had Jay as their puppet

Has anyone ever heard of the prosecution conducting and investigation with the defense to reduce a murder sentence, only to file a motion vacate the murder conviction? This is the prosecution, after the defense had exhausted all attempts to appeal the case, all the way to the Supreme Court.
There were Brady violations, do you know what that means?

Yall should listen to the podcast Undisclosed that came out shortly after serial. It's 3 attorneys (Syed's aunt, another one and then a law prof from USCe) that picked apart in excruciating detail every single aspect of the case. Very clearly, the prosecution was shoddy and underhanded and there was a vast amount of reasonable doubt. It's been years, but I seem to remember thinking it was almost obvious that Syed couldn't have done it.
They spent like 2 episodes just talking about the victim's body in the car and how the blood analysis showed all kinds of huge problems with the case as presented by the prosecution. They also went EXTREMELY in depth on the cell phone records. etc.

This is false. He said where he was and had a witness come forward saying she talked with him at the school library that day after she was already missing
I’m currently listening to the serial for the first time.
That whole talked to him at the library thing seemed sketchy as hell. Her statements and actions years later were even more sketchy.
Also, I ASSURE you I’d remember exchanging pleasantries with an acquaintance in the library the day the love of my life went missing.
Maybe not RIGHT off the top of my head but you bet your arse I’d sit down and figure out where I was and who I talked to when I learned that my gf was legitimately missing.
Sure they asked him 3 whole weeks later. But it couldn’t have been more than a day or 2 before he thought HEAVILY on where the hell he was that day.

If you didn't know at the time that she was missing, you'd have no reason to burn that info into your memory.

And he did do that. Not to great detail, but he provided details. And they began to change.
This is plausible. The only reason you would sit down and try to remember every little detail of your whereabouts is if you think you would be a suspect. If you don't believe that, there's no reason for you to immediately try to remember every detail of that day.
This lends itself to the fact that he is innocent.
Innocent people can't provide details of their actions for the time of the murder in question. They had no reason to remember those details at those times.
Guilty people usually provide exact details of their whereabouts and actions, because they know they will need to know those things.

Exact details are verifiable, so guilty people are limited by the reality that the details involve the crime.
Adnan has pretty good recall of that day until it matters, what he did immediately after school because - per multiple witnesses and his own initial statement to the police - he had asked Hae for a ride putting them together at the exact moment she went missing.

I think he did it as well, but Brady violations are a big deal. So, I support this.

I tend to believe he and Steven Avery are innocent… maybe I’m just gullible but that jay dude was just making shite up. The cops had no real evidence, no way either of them should be behind bars based on their trials

Also guilty. I mean, if your sole basis for a belief in his innocence is the slanted documentary Making a Murderer.
Here’s the thing, documentaries rarely tell both sides of a story. The filmmaker can lead you to any conclusion he or she wants. Take Michael Moore - he has an obvious agenda and tells the story he wants to have most viewers agree with him.
Someone in this thread mentioned Undisclosed as a good podcast on Adnan. It’s literally made by Rabia. To think you are getting anything other than a slanted account from her is naive in the extreme.

The bottom line for Avery and Syed is the police are guilty. That is what should concern all of us. They didn't get justice for their victims properly and that is why all of this is happening. The police are to blame.

He 100% did it, but the prosecution fricked up.
Wife and I listened to the podcast on a long road trip. I knew he was guilty when he gave his alibi. Anyone who believes that crap story is a fool.

Here are some facts that serial left out. From the point of view of the prosecution:
Adnan Syed NEVER told police detectives he was at the public library after school the day.
Adnan Syed claims that he was asked to remember, weeks later, what he was doing the day Hae Min Lee disappeared, despite the fact that a police detective called him the same day she went missing.
There are memos summarizing the defense team's other meetings with Mr. Syed, none of which say that Mr. Syed said went to the library after school that day.
In his Serial interview with Sarah Koenig, we heard Adnan tell Sarah Koenig that he did NOT ask Hae Min Lee for a ride that day. This contradicts the testimony of two witnesses that heard him ask Lee for a ride.
In his Serial interview, he told Sarah Koenig that he NEVER would have asked for a ride from Hae Min Lee because she had to go pick up her cousin. But his own defense file mentions that him and Hae used to have sex right after school. So Mr. Syed lied in his Serial interview.
Asia McClain's language in her letter dated March 1 indicates she is offering to provide a false alibi. She provides an enormous window of 2:15 to 8 p.m. "I will try my best to help you account for some of your unwitnessed, unaccountable lost time (2:15 - 8:00; Jan 13th)."
Asia McClain testified in Mr. Syed's 2nd post conviction relief hearing that she learned of the 2:15 to 8 p.m. time frame from Syed's own family.
You saw evidence that Mr. Syed wrote a letter to his friend to give to Asia McClain to type up.
Asia McClain claimed that the day Hae Min Lee was murdered and the day she saw Adnan in the library was the first snow storm of the year. The first snow storm of the year was the week before.

Because of the narrow window before she had to pick up her cousin, she met with foul play right after school. Thus, his asking for a ride (and later denying it!!) is incredibly damning. Now couple that with the Neesha call which puts him with his phone and thus with Jay, the witnesses who saw him later in the day/evening with Jay, and Jay’s obvious involvement, it is a near impossibility to conclude Adnan is innocent.

I have no idea whether or not Syed is guilty or innocent. I finished the podcasts several years ago feeling like he was guilty.
What I do know is that the key evidence(s) presented in the trial that led to his conviction has been proven to be mostly bullshite since that time. Jay’s story, the cell phone tower records, the prosecution’s theory - corroborated by Jay’s testimony about the timeline, how she was killed, the position she was in, etc. All of it has been debunked. Add that to the fact that the one person who saw Adnan and could provide an alibi wasn’t even called to witness by his defense attorney, who was suffering from two different terminal illnesses… at the very least he needs a new trial.
The prosecution’s key witness changed his story on the record not fewer than 7 different times and admitted he had lied to police multiple times. The cell phone tower expert has also now recanted his testimony, because the prosecution failed to provide him with the fax cover sheet stating that incoming calls were not reliable for location. He’s stated he never would have testified if he had been given that information.
Liberal DA or not, Syed being a murderer or not. His trial was fricked from the jump.

You can just lazily allege "slanted account", but that makes it seem to me like you never listened. The blood pooling analysis and the cell phone records deep dive just was what it was.
In any event, it's not a good podcast on "Adnan" - it's a good podcast on police actions.

This alone should have been enough to completely disregard Jay’s testimony on nearly every aspect of the event. Quite literally nothing he said about her disposal could have possibly been true based on the blood pooling analysis.

I’ve listened to Undisclosed, read Rabia’s book, watched the HBO documentary and looked at source material - including trial transcripts and the autopsy report.
Like you, I have a true interest in the case. I happen to be very skeptical of the interpretation being put forth in some of the podcasts.
For instance, I’ve seen plenty of explanations which satisfied me the lividity issue is being cherry-picked by the Adnan advocates.
In short, the only frontal lividity was on Hae’s face and upper chest which is consistent with the was she was buried - on her right side twisted in such a manner that her face and chest were flat on the ground. Undisclosed makes it sound like there was full frontal lividity consistent with her lying on her stomach for an extended period. This is a great fact for Adnan if true, but it seems the lividity actually found doesn’t help him at all and is likely consistent with the narrative put forth at trial.
