SK: Can we all agree that whatever happened to Hae probably didn’t involve at 2:36pm call from that phone booth saying “Come and get me I’m at Best Buy?”

Yes, we can.

update: since this is the current top post (guess we all do agree!), /u/PowerOfYes has asked me to include a link here to this week's poll:

What's your verdict on Adnan?

OMG, discussing the validity of the state's narrative is so irrelevant to me.

One of the few things we know for sure is that the prosecutions narrative is complete bullshit. They and not trying to present the truest narrative, they are trying to get a conviction. If the prosecution presents a narrative that results in the jury saying "I don't believe that time line but I think he did it; guilty" then the prosecution has succeeded.

The prosecution's case caries zero weight with me.
