Can we get back here now!?

I'm so excited now. I made an all night to get go 12-ish hours to listen to all the episodes of the podcast, just because it's getting on my nerves reading people talk about it too often now. Yeah, all night on listening to a radio when I have semester exams on. Kills it!

I really feel Adnan did the deed. Along with a few other people, including Jay and his other friends. That I can say because somehow Jay's friend's and Jay's narratives are close to each other's, they seem to be very clever. But Adnan doesn't, most probably, have a copy of the narrative which is already been to the detectives. He fails the plan there. Making an obvious scene since saying that he has no idea about what happened that evening.

That's the way I see the case. What's yours?

I had to quit about 6 ep in, after that reddit post purporting to be written by Hae's brother. Regardless of the veracity of that claim, I could no longer get past the idea that the podcast was exploiting Hae's story for the enjoyment/enticement of the listeners. I think it's great that Koenig did the in-depth investigative work she did, but not so much the dramatization thereof.

Wait? What were you saying Hae's brother posted? Link? I didn't see this.

Here's the reddit thread from back in November. And Slate published a pretty good primer on the controversy about a day before that.

Sorry for the late reply. Exams and stuff.

Hmm. I hear Jay gave an interview. Will have to check all that after exams.
