When Sarah starting talking about what Hae Lee was like.....I surprised myself, with an outburst of emotion that's never happened to me before, NOT LIKE THAT. I got to the nail polish part....and, I'm STILL a F*#@!N MESS. If Adnan DIDN'T do it.....the real killer needs to PAY UP.

[@isabelmartinez6851]

@@timjkoala7556 you really think he knows all of this information and still innocent enough to walk freely? Even the juror who voted adnan guilty thought for sure that jay was going to end in some kind of life sentence. I believe he was involved more than he lead on and Adnan may be guilty but don’t say there’s no evidence against jay because he literally got rid of all evidence that could have proved his innocence instead of the my word against his word situation. He threw out his clothes and lied abt the phone booth that he claimed is the entire source of what Adnan used to contact him after the murder. And if your going to play the he didn’t have motive like Adnan did card, jealousy can go in more ways than one. Jay could have been jealous of Adnan and Stephanie’s relationship just as Adnan could have been of don.

@@isabelmartinez6851 seriously! He literally got rid of all evidence that would prove his innocence. I just can’t understand the superior court not granting the retrial. This case is so upsetting because the LEAST he deserves is a retrial. If the state can prove it without a shred of doubt, then fine but there is way too much doubt at this point to not grant him a retrial. Hopefully one day he’ll get his day back in court.

[@thenerdymama9210]

Jurors need to be reminded every day all the damn time, it seems, that a) defendants are presumed INNOCENT until the prosecution can prove beyond ANY reasonable doubt that they are guilty. Too many jurors forget that very important right and expect the defendant to prove the story the prosecution makes up false. It doesn’t matter how perfectly the story prosecution tells fits the narrative. If they can’t prove with absolutely zero doubt that their story is true, the defendant is INNOCENT. b) defendants RARELY get up on the stand. The defense lawyer does not want the prosecution to have a chance at cross examination and to ask questions that they can spin to make the defendant sound guilty easier. It almost always goes badly when a defendant testifies for themselves. Even the most innocent person has to be coached endlessly to be ready for cross. It is NOT suspicious if they don’t testify and YOU WERE TOLD not to consider that they don’t! Good job admitting you ignored your own duty! I think Adnan might’ve done it but the case they made is nowhere near air tight. The reasonable doubt in this case is beyond overwhelming.

[@DetectiveHouse]

If I had been part of the jury I wouldn’t have been able to convict him beyond reasonable doubt because I am riddled with doubt when it comes to this case. I don’t know if he did it or not, but I do know that there isn’t enough evidence (direct evidence especially) to place him at the scene of the crime.

[@anthonywesterman4166]

Clearly none of you have served on a jury. The Prosecutor and the defense will define what "reasonable doubt" means. It doesn't mean that you have to prove 100% that he/she did commit the crime. They will say that if you can go home and lay your head down at night and not feel like you got it wrong the that is proof "beyond reasonable doubt"

[@DetectiveHouse]

Anthony Westerman Maybe the US has a different definition of “beyond reasonable doubt”. Where I’m from, this case is full of reasonable doubt. I even got my sister and my mom (both lawyers) and my aunt (former Chief Justice) to look into it and give their opinion on this case and they agreed that there is plenty of reasonable doubt.

It's not. If you have any stoner or druggie friends, they can talk, tell a story, and escape the truth (with a little bit of influence).

I think Jay and Adnan both did it but since Adnan is trying to maintain his “I’m innocent” scheme he can’t tell everyone the part Jay didn’t tel them, I feel like Adnan took all the blame for it, but Jay was more involved he just doesn’t want his community to get backlash from him being a murderer

[@scrambldrabbit]

find interviews with jay, i thought the same thing before reading his perspective. adnan very likely did it

[@TLR1988]

Confused me as to how people think Adnon is guilty. Nothing we've heard says that he did it. The only person lying and doing shady things is Jay. This should still be an investigation at most IMO. With all the lies, Jay shouldn't have been credible enough to gain a conviction. If somebody lies this much in 2022, no way anybody would believe them, let alone get this conviction.

[@cosmiceggs2385]

Yeah the way they do things now is a lot different than the 90s. I can't really tell if Adnan is guilty or not, but with this evidence and lack of consistency from their only witness, he should have never been convicted.

I know I am echoing the comments thus far but had to say this podcast is an incredible piece of journalism mixed with a beautiful dose of humanity resulting in award winning content. What I truly admire is that the journalist in her tells such a well balanced and impeccably documented story of such tragic events. But it is the human compassion that she brings to her work that makes this story so real and the people involved so relatable and human. The two moments that really got to me during this episode was the Korean proverb that Hey’s mother said at the sentencing of Anon which was absolutely heart wrenching and Anon’s description of the small moments of kindness he received from strangers and friends that he experienced during some of the worst moments of his life. It is these delicate pieces of information that are added to the overall story showing her deep understanding of the human experience that makes her an incredibly talented human being!

[@sonnyfoster1292]

Why would Jay help move the body and then tell the police? Jay’s actions are extremely suspect. His story changes numerous times even up until trial. It wouldn’t be the first time someone approaches police with a story and inserts someone else in their place as the killer. It has happened more than people think. It’s not so far fetched that Adnan is innocent. Hell, even the innocent get executed and after their death some officials decide to investigate their claims and even exonerate them. By then it’s to little to late. If they believe he is truly guilty then taking another look into the case shouldn’t be an issue. It would only further solidify their original conviction. However, there are some officials that do not want cases reinvestigated because of the possibility that they were wrong

[@pinkpurplestfu4609]

Andan and Jay both did it, Jay only snitched about what Adnan did which is why Adnan was at leakin park at night on Janurary the 13th. Also, some of Jay's cellphone records didn't ping in the right place meaning some of the places he says he was at the time were lies. One of the biggest lies jay told was when he said he was somewhere else but he pinged to be near where Hae's car was found. I think he was helping get rid of the car. They both did it but Jay decided to blame it on Adnan so that Jay wouldn't also go prison. I just think there's more evidence that it was Jay that did it, and less evidence that it was Adnan. I also don't trust Jen's involvement in this.

[@mattsportstalks1105]

[@Investigativebean]

He says “I’m not doubting anyone’s sincerity.” Sounds like he is telling us that he was doubting someone’s sincerity, perhaps even his own. After they arrest him, I think he is genuine when he says that he believed that he would be going home. I don’t know if that was because he was a naive, innocent 17 year old, or if he thought he was outsmarting the police. He remains optimistic throughout though, like he doesn’t quite know the gravity of the situation. I understand what he says about making a plea deal, and I think he mentions that because he wishes he could do the same. Might be too distressing to relive it all over again in court....regardless of guilt. He doesn’t want to let up that he is innocent. He has to be “a good Muslim” especially in the eyes of his family to lessen their suffering. At the same time, he assumed this family would stand by him if he were to admit guilt. He compares living with his parents to being a ward of the state. He is clearly accustomed to being however he needs to be...adaptable...in order to look like whatever suits the situation. In an aside, I tend to think Christa’s account would be pretty accurate, and important, because she actually wrote it all down. The plot thickens!

This podcast series, and the whole case for that matter, is a study in confirmation bias. Both sides are guilty of it, but perhaps especially this podcast. If this, if that and if the other thing, then maybe the state's narrative might not be true, therefore he's definitely not guilty. I understand that the burden of proof rests on the state and raising the "ifs" can result in reasonable doubt and acquittal. However, I think the alternatives in this case are not strong enough or well supported enough to overcome the key elements of the state's case and do not constitute reasonable doubt. Nevertheless, the podcast is still very well organized and interesting to listen to.

[@50farmers]

Anyone watch True Detective season 3? I bring it up because we all love conspiracy theories no matter how improbable. True Detective 3 reminds us that 99.9% of the time the answer (no matter how much we want it to be a otherwise) is the simple one. No vast conspiracy between Jay, Don, and the police. Adnan did it. Sarah can't see this because she's obviously crushing on this guy. She's down to taking the word of an obvious stoner that there was no pay phone at Best Buy (who is telling this to her years later) over trained police officers who were there in the moment with no motive to frame Adnan.

[@amphitheatre]

By that logic that show would've ended with them finding a child abuser, the "simplest answer"

[@50farmers]

@@amphitheatre If you're talking about True Detective....they did. I'd say kidnapping a little girl and drugging her to pretend she's your daughter would qualify as child abuse. Causing a little boy to fall and hit his head against a rock so hard it killed him...child abuse. There was no vast conspiracy of pedophiles trafficking children in TD 3 like most viewers thought. Just like in Adnan's case. You have what seems to be a decent enough guy snap in the moment, kill his girlfriend, then try to cover it up. Simplest answer. By the end Sara admits their was a pay phone inside Best Buy and they float the idea of a serial killer. Grasping at straws. Jay knew where Hae's car was so he was in on at least the dumping of the body. Adnan never called her after she was dead because he knew she was dead. Adnan makes a slip in one of his calls to Sara stating there were no skin cells or DNA under her fingernails because Hae never fought back...who but the killer would know this. Lastly Adnan has never accounted for his whereabouts during the time of the murder for one reason...he can't...his alibi is that he was choking Hae Lee to death. If the argument is no jury could get past reasonable doubt with only circumstantial evidence...well that's at least better than he's innocent.

[@honestinsincerity2270]

The cops may not have had "motive to frame Adnan" but you're way off base thinking that they didn't have an immense amount of pressure to solve that case as quickly as possible. And once detectives have someone in their sights, confirmation bias, ego and the sunk cost fallacy in regards to time/effort will ensure that rationality and evidence will go right out the window a lot of the times. With that said, I have no idea if this guy is guilty mainly just because that Jay guy (who does seem shady as shit) knew exactly where the car was. So who knows in this case, but cops aren't as infallible as you'd think.

Adnan's motive was anger and jealousy after being dumped by Hae for an older, better guy whom he had suspected her of cheating on him with. Adnan was possessive and controlling when he & Hae were together, per her diaries and her friend Debbie's testimony. Hae dumped him one last time for good and told him enough is enough, it's time to move on via note. On that note he wrote "I am going to kill." This would've been a fairly easy motive for the state to demonstrate.

Maybe Stephanie was jealous of Hae. She says she needed a ride somewhere, kills her, they get into an argument that goes to far, kills her, calls jay and he helps hide her until they could dunk the body later.

[@Z6221-t3t]

Aaron Falk Exactly. No one has and Stephanie has completely clammed up in regards to the entire situation. No one ever explored that route because Jay took that whole side of the blame. However I’m not sure Stephanie really had any motivation to commit this crime on her own. Not only that but I don’t think it’s likely that she had the physical strength to overpower Hae and strangle her to death. I definitely feel like Adnan was part of it. No matter how it’s framed he’s the only one who had real motivation to kill Hae, and in such an intimate way. Stephanie being so close to him may have agreed to help dispose of the body and clean up evidence. She could have panicked once the police began to close in on Adnan told Jay who given his reputation was the perfect guy to take her role in the crime and has refused to speak about it ever since. Also if Adnan and Jay both respectively loved her like they claim the did it makes sense as to why they hadn’t said anything about her.

milart12 yeah that seems to be the only likely explanation...

The only difference is in those cases they tested for DNA. So now bottle the rope anything could be what proved his,innocence or guilt but they knew they didn't need it to convince some dummies in bmore to convict.

He tried make it seem like he had no part of it at all, except for knowing about what happened.

[@usha97]

WHERE IS HEY'S BF (that older guy)??? I'm literally just speculating here, but what if Adnan left his phone in Jay's car for a bit when they smoked weed before track practice and Jay did help bury Hey but he helped someone else (the BF no one talks about idk) and Adnan was just the perfect target to pin this on! Maybe Nisha was called through Adnan's phone on purpose to create this evidence. IDKKK. Maybe Stephanie's life was in danger if Adnan wasn't framed. I dont knowwwwwwwww

[@dramaholick]

What if it was someone so powerful that Jay was debted to and they all framed Adnan!

[@yellowmint5]

Why is this adnan guy talking so much now but chose to stay silent during the court trial?? Is it because he knew he was guilty along with jay and didn't want to be trapped?

[@alexandercanella4479]

It's the opposite. Innocent people get tricked by crafty lawyers all the time. A lot of prosecutors are damn good at their job. I'm not saying hes innocent. Only that your reasonings are terrible.

He was a 17 year kid. And his lawyer prob told him why he should t and he listened.

Actually the judge did not allow him to get up on the stand and defend himself. Sara mentions this in the episode before this one towards the last few mins.

[@pinkpurplestfu4609]

Did you not even watch the previous episodes? He wasn't allowed to. Honestly, you're so quick to judge him for it, there's no hard evidence that he did it. Karma will come back to you and you might see yourself in a situation like this.

I think you would act casual too if you knew you were guilty deep down inside.

[@reinajalana]

Even people who have spent decades wrongfully imprisoned and are later exonerated by DNA evidence or whatever other methods seem to eventually come to a place of peace, calm, and even just being used to being locked up. It doesn't mean they are guilty. Can you imagine spending years, decades, just being extremely angry and worked up but with your poor, unfair circumstances likely never changing? You would go crazy. Or, like some people do, eventually kill yourself. I pray I'm never in that kind of situation, but if I ever were, I would hope to not add to the misery by being angry and bitter throughout. Coming to terms with and coming to be more calm about the situation is something of a very understandable survival technique.

[@reinajalana]

Also, damned if you do, damned if you don't. If Adnad had come off too angry and impassioned in these conversations, folks would twist that into confirming his guilt. Or they would say some ish like, "a truly innocent person wouldn't get so upset talking about this or always be on such the defensive." I think people in this situation really can't win.

I think it goes back to her topic in the 1st episode. An interrogation is memorable because its scary, in front of intimidating police, etc,. However, the day they need him to remember was insignificant up until i’m sure he got notice that Hai was missing.. I’m confused on how he allowed Jay to have his car and or phone? Did someone steal his phone to frame him? It’s just a lot😖

Cell phones records are not off towers can be but not call logs or time when calls are made or outgoing

actually they found a fax that says all incoming call towers are not accurate and may not be used to provide accurate location. it's only accurate for out going calls to bill correctly. 1999 cell towers are way less accurate than these days

[@musaxcoco2833]

But wait.the girlfriend of Jay is called Stephanie, as in the prom princess who was mentioned in Hae Mins diary? Who was somehow dumped by Adnan to be with Hae? Crazy theory: Stephanie was in love with Adan and more than jealous of Hae, so she got somehow in contact with Jay, ending up planning to murder Hae Min and blaming it on Adan as a punishment? The dna found on the wheel in Haes car, could be Stephanies, who parked it there, so the story would make sense?

[@statetechguru4804]

How can Adnan or his family let a public defender to represent him ? That was such a fatal move. I blame his representation for all of this. Sometime I feel I could have represented Adnan better than than Gutierrez or the Public defender. Adnan was not trained properly to take up the stand in the court. How can you apologize in the court Adnan, How can the public defender accept that it was a crime of passion of adnan, what was wrong with that moron. How did he accept Adnan as a criminal your own client, those were the last few nails in Adnan's coffin. This story is getting tragic. Such miscarriage of justice. He was totally taken down by surprise by these hounds of our justice system, the cops, the investigators, the lawyers, the judge. Even blood tears are not enough if you hear about this tragic story of Adnan. They should have contacted CAIR or some good seasoned lawyer. It all went down because he was raw teenager, and Jay came prepared with his story polished, Adnan got bad representation, he didnt had lawyer initially. Those are the take aways, dont every do these mistakes guys specially if you are from colored, black, brown, Muslim, minority group dont talk to cops without a lawyer.

He lied so much and no one cared, not even his friends and family years later and I know that because they've all at least seen the series and never spoke out.

Stephenie was in love with Adnan so she killed Hae but because Jay was in love with Stephanie , he couldn’t let her go to prison.

That way he gets his love and gets rid of his competition that is why he suspicious and why Stephanie is not talking to anyone.

I believe Adnan is guilty !! I just think it was a very sloppy invistigation from the start in a hurry to convict someone for the crime!! Jay might be a liar but tht doesnt make him a killer , i 💯% think Jay was there when Adnan killed his ex girlfriend, Jay has no connection to the guy tht found the body and hes not connected to Don the new boyfriend but hes is connected to Adnan ; No one know where the car was only Jay did !!!!
