S went to the park to look for the body because he had heard something. S when the questions are totally different? Passing the second polygraph doesn’t at all mean that he didn’t lie on the first.Ģ) The second polygraph doesn’t at all probe into whether Mr. Here are the questions from the first polygraph:ġ) Why change the questions? How do you arrive at any real conclusion about Mr. What the podcast failed to mention, other than in passing, was that the questions in the first and second polygraph were very very different. S failed the first polygraph and passed the second. And I’m still not willing to let him off that easy. When you have seasoned crime scene folks who can’t see the body as they’re actually standing right above it, call me crazy to be skeptical that Mr. Because from all accounts, that would be the only explanation of how he found Hae’s body.

I’m not privy to Sarah or the Serial team’s investigation, and I don’t know all they’ve uncovered, so I was breathlessly hoping (as has been my theory) that Mr. In the midst of all of his penis wagging, I really thought a connection between him and Jay would emerge.

Ok now about podcasts 3 & 4: Leakin Park is a big ass park So instead of his shady dealings working against Jay and for Adnan, they end up working in favor of Jay and against Adnan. Except in this case he becomes credible precisely because that’s how he was “played” by Adnan – he was so shady that Adnan tapped him to be an accomplish because no one one trust Jay if he came forward (prosecution theory, because let’s not forget how brilliantly manipulative Adnan apparently is). In any other reality, he wouldn’t be considered credible. Not the most impressive witness by most standards. He’s got a criminal record, he works at a porn shop, he deals weed.

Jay is the outsider, “criminal element” in his own words.

Generally speaking, if the only thing I’ve ever seen from a person is them being nice, I think they’re actually just nice. That also probably depends on what you bring from yourself, your own perspective and lens, to the analysis. So he’s either a genuinely really nice person, or he’s a total nut job. Calling someone pathetic is probably as nasty as Adnan could get.

The fact that he called Jay “pathetic” at trial makes perfect sense to me because I’ve never heard Adnan curse or say anything bad about anyone in all these years. My brother has known him for about 19 years. Because no one is that nice right? I’ve known Adnan for about 17 years. Because now Adnan is so nice he must be manipulative and a socio/psychopath. You’d think the fact that no one could ever testify otherwise would work in his favor. No one has ever seen him get violent, angry, threatening, confrontational.

By all and every account Adnan is a gentle, sweet natured guy.

But even if you believe he was, it could mean two different things (probably depends on your attitudes about Muslims/Islam in general). So, while I think Adnan was like any teenager of religious or immigrant parents, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t very religious. And of course, if he was that deeply religious, he wouldn’t actually have been dating or smoking weed to begin with. Not that, Islamically, you can commit murder at any time of the year, but geezus when we’re fasting we don’t even cuss. Except, to a religious Muslim like me, if Adnan was actually was deeply religious, he wouldn’t be committing murder of all times in the month of Ramadan when he’s fasting.

The idea that Adnan was a very religious person, so religious that he was deeply distressed and conflicted about dating and sex, called Hae the Devil, and was in fact motivated by his religiousity (code for “Islam means oppressing and controlling women” – more on the horrendously xenophobic/Islamophobic/bigoted motive-framing in a later post) to kill her.

Something else that should be clear is that almost any set of facts or perceptions about Adnan can work for or against him. A fraction of what 15 years of correspondence with Adnan looks likeīy now it should be crystal clear that very little is crystal clear in this case.
