Adnan Syed’s Conviction Reinstated, Won't Receive New Trial
- Thread starter Carolina Reaper
- Start date
I think Adnan is likely to be the murderer. However, I would vote to acquit. No hesitation. The number of people applauding this imprisonment like they predicted the last season of True Detective disturbs me a bit.
Yup. The story Serial weaved was based off a cast of characters penned by the investigation.

Yep. People just wholeheartedly trusting the justice system despite a hundred holes in the case is completely aggravating. Same in the case of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
Holy shit, this. At some point, a few episodes in, I realized both that I hadn't been paying attention for the last fifteen minutes, and that I didn't care enough to go back, and eventually, didn't care enough to keep going. It was just so... boring.
watching the first episode of the documentary right now

Yeah, not sure what some of the haters in this topic are on about.
Like I'm pretty sure I came to the conclusion that Adnan was guilty from season 1.

Yeah, she convinced me of his guilt despite seemingly wanting the opposite to occur.
The best follow-up to serial, I run through the season whenever I need a little cheering up (plus the whole thing is ~1 hour)
With the Avery case, one could at least see a motive behind the police's framing: the pending settlement.
With Adnan's case, the police don't have an ulterior motive to frame Adnan. Except for the fact that BPD is quite possibly one of the worst police forces in America. This is the same police force that killed Freddie Gray, has a systemic history of malfeasance and would literally do anything they saw fit in the moment that would benefit an individual officer.

This just goes into the most recent history of the BPD, but that tree has been rottung for decades.
Yep, and the answer to both is a resounding no. People really forget it shouldn't and doesn't matter what you feel, it matters what the evidence shows and the case presented.
Reading the court's opinion for the appeal makes things much clearer.

Just a thought: if he did do it, or if you believe he did, do you think he's in denial, like OJ? Otherwise, is he a psychopath, to be able to lie that well?
