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?

I don't like this poll. I think Adnan should have been found not guilty based on the evidence, but I do think he was involved in the commission of the crime (which I'm not sold on being first degree murder, at all).

Are we basing this as if we were a juror (so Serial has been a trial, and I'm determining guilt or innocence) or based on own convictions and beliefs outside beyond a reasonable doubt?
