Nice find. Honest question, are there still people who actually find Jay credible? Even among those who believe Adnan's guilty?
Ampulla of Vater seems to see some value in Jay's statements.
There is some value in everyone's statements. There is value in Adnan's and Hae's statements too. In order for Adnan to be innocent, the list of people who must be lying reaches about forty.
Why won't Adnan's team test the DNA?
Why has the innocence project gone silent?
Why did Jim Clemente profile the killer and describe Adnan right down to his socks?Why do Rabia and Simpson leave out parts of testimony that implicate Syed? If Syed was innocent, they wouldn't have to cherry pick lines of the transcripts to prove their point.
It's all good though; Adnan will die in prison, where he belongs for strangling the life out of Hae.
Here are just some of the conspiratal elements which have been alleged in the framing of poor Adnan Syed:Honestly, I would actually like to know who his 'forty people who have to be lying" are? In addition, what is the evidence which they present that Adnan is guilty.
That is an idiotic statement. Others in this thread have explained why. Your bias is overwhelming.
I thought at the end of Serial Adnan said he wanted the DNA test done. Has that changed?Why won't Adnan's team test the DNA?
Why has the innocence project gone silent?
Jay has had two burial times. . . . One around 6 pm and the other around midnight with the Intercept interview.
Consistent between the stories is that it was bright enough that he could count change in his hand, explaining it as being a full moon and that there was snow on the ground.
According to Weather Underground, there was no snow on the ground. In addition, it was a waning crescent that provided 5% illumination and did not rise until 4:37 am.
There is snow on the ground in the picture Firedman Bob tweeted.
Today was day 1 of the hearing for Syed to see if he will get a new trial.
First witness was Phil Dantes, a friend & colleague of Syed's former defense attorney Christina Gutierrez who described her dwindling capacities. Gutierrez died in 2004 and this person, Dantes, represented her when some of her clients took action against her for ineffectiveness.
Many, many objections, most of which were sustained by the judge. This is territory already covered in previous appeal(s).
Next witness was Bill Kanwasher, who was an attorney with Gutierrez. He testified she was difficult to work for and, while once at the top of her game, was deteriorating later in her career. He said she would dump trials on him in the last minute and he would have to pick up the pieces and represent the client.
The star witness was Asia McClain, now married with children and living in Oregon. She held her own during direct, stating she is positive she saw Syed in the library at 2:15 on 1/13/1999. Cross just started before court was adjourned for the day. To be continued tomorrow.
If you want the best twitterized version from someone who was there, this is your guy:

looking positive for Syed. I dont see the relevance of the Hae family statement sayingn she was the victim. Everyone knows this.
It's because all the attention is on Adnan, Rabia, The Three Stooges, and Asia McClain. Asia was treated like a celebrity when she walked out of the courthouse. I imagine the Lees are hurting badly having to reopen their partially healed wound.
Put yourself in their shoes, with one of your daughters. Every time you think it is over there is more to come. This one complete with celebrity status for the murderer and his camp, national coverage for poor, poor Adnan and media all over the place like ants on a candy cane.
The odd one out may be the Lundy case, where the sister knows he is innocent, but the brother thinks he is guilty and a monster. I suspect this is very unusual. This Syed case seems to have you all divided, I must watch it some time.In most cases, even when they get the wrong person, the family still thinks those that are convicted are those responsible. The family of Michelle Moore-Bosko still think the Norfolk Four are responsible for example even though the only evidence are some forced confessions. All the phsyical evidence supports a single attacker named Omar Ballard.
