But (and I'm no lawyer) it didn't seem like there was enough evidence
Where I ultimately came down was that there was really no evidence he did it without Jay, and Jay clearly lied his ass off. There was a bunch of circumstantial evidence that didnt look great for him. He would have had to have been really unlucky. But there were innocent explanations too.
There is no way they retry this in my opinion. So the real question becomes whether he takes an Alford Plea (pleads guilty without admitting act and maintains innocence). Or whether the charges just get dropped.
The prosecutions main witness (whatever his name is) was guilty as sin. That guy did it. It's about the only thing I can remember about it.
The guy was fishy. But I didn't think he did it. It's been a while since I was familiar with the case so even though I wanted to pin him guilty there was something that made me think he couldn't have done it. He definetly BS'd some stuff though. He for sure knows what exactly happened.
It's been a while but I came away thinking he killed her and jay
What is the precedent in terms of having a new trial so far after the original incident? Like obviously stuff has been rehashed, but still asking to remember perfect details from so long ago is hard.
I think the cops somehow worked with Jay and gave him the location of the car, really helped Jays case along. Undisclosed podcast really builds that theory up pretty conclusively.
I didn't think there was nearly enough evidence to convict Adnan beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, the more I reflected after listening (when I wasn't as wrapped up in the wanting for it to be a compelling conspiracy), the less clean Adnan's hands seemed to be.
So while he may have deserved all the time he spent in jail, our criminal justice system has a very high burden of proof precisely to prevent innocent people from criminal punishment.

After listening to Serial I thought he did it too, but wouldn't have convicted him if I were on the jury. After listening to the Undisclosed Podcast it's frightening how innocent I think he is. The second podcast brings a lot of crazy things in to the light. It's worth a listen.

The Undisclosed podcast (from what I read) was extremely biased and left a out important facts so I never thought to listen.

All the prosecution had was Jay - really.

SNL's parody of Serial was one of the best shorts they did in a long time.
