Serial Podcast
I searched for a thread or post about this podcast, but didn't see anything.
Anyone else been following and listening to the episodes? I'm completely hooked. It's so compelling and just absolutely intriguing. Here's a brief summary from the podcast's site: On January 13, 1999, a girl named Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County, Maryland, disappeared. A month later, her body turned up in a city park. She'd been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was convicted and sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan’s friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae’s death. Some people believe he’s telling the truth. Many others don’t. Sarah Koenig, who hosts Serial, first learned about this case more than a year ago. In the months since, she's been sorting through box after box (after box) of legal documents and investigators' notes, listening to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talking to everyone she can find who remembers what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee fifteen years ago. What she realized is that the trial covered up a far more complicated story, which neither the jury nor the public got to hear. The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence - all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person’s character? How can you tell what they’re capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers. I provided some helpful links below: Podcast: www.serialpodcast.org Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/serialpodcast/ |

Just listened. I agree with Sarah and I have since the beginning of this podcast. I'm not sure on his participation, but I couldn't convict.

So far I'm about halfway through Episode 6 and I feel that they're both in on it.

Just wanted to say I finally finished all 12 episodes during my drive from work today.
****ing amazing. Also, I was going to drop off my opinion of what I personally thought happened until I browsed Reddit to find this atom ****ing bomb being dropped.... holy shit. http://www.reddit.com/r/serialpodcas...court_docsjay/ Way to go Rabia- you just disproved the guy you've been trying to defend.

That was one sour, unpleasant blogger. To each their own I guess but I don't agree with much of her perspective.
A more interesting inside take, for me at least, was the crime writers on serial podcast from New Hampshire public radio. |

I still don't get Adnan & Jay's relationship. Honestly, I think it was drug related and somehow something went sour and Hae ended up dead.

so on Rabia's blog she said (and posted snippets of trial documents) that Jay asked to borrow Adnan's car, and the phone just happened to be in the car. That's a big difference than the portrayal that Adnan offered him his car and phone. Apparently Jay often borrowed people's cars as he didn't have one.

That is gawker for you. It is more fun to hate something than to discuss it. I havnt clicked on a gawker link in months. I had to take uproxx off my reader for the same reason. The avclub is heading that way as well.

"The person who paid the ultimate price". That's rich coming from Jay, the convicted accessory to her murder, a crime for which he never spent a second in prison.
Convenient that he's agreed to talk now that season 1 is over and he can have control over the environment and direction of the "interview". With emphasis on the quotes. Evidently his post has since been removed. Shocker. |
