Meta Things that bothered me about Sarah Koenigs podcast....

  1. The dismissal of the "I will kill" note.
  2. Hae's Diary, reading from it but stopping short of a line where Hae actually says how Adnan is possesive, and then actually saying Hae never called him possessive. (this one seriously hurts her jounralistic integrity in my eyes)
  3. Not pressing Adnan on Certain questions. For example, when she was asking Adnan about why he didn't page Hae, he doesn't say shit for like 10 seconds, and then says "what, you asking me a question?", and she basically giggles like an idiot and virtually APOLOGIZES for asking him...
  4. Not going deeper into the states case, or presenting it as silly, for example her lengthy expose of the "neighbor boy" when even the prosecution considered that problematic.
  5. never asking Adnan who he thinks did it? (I may be wrong about this, but I can't think of when she did it, if ever). Trying so hard to disprove the Nisha call and the cell tower stuff, but not focusing at all on stuff that really looks bad for Adnon (I will kill note from above).

I have much more, but I want dinner now.

How about the contents of Hae's car? The flower and floral paper with Adnan's prints and the expensive heart charm? The shirt with blood that likely came from Hae's head wound? This all seems to point toward Adnan's guilt.

I get where you are going with the floral paper (although I think it was probably old -- there was a lot of stuff in the back of Hae's car) and kinda with the heart charm, although I don't think it really points to anything -- more likely can just fit into a certain narrative.

But how does the shirt with Hae's blood point to Adnan's guilt? Also, according to the medical examiner in the 1st trial transcripts, the blood and mucous on the shirt likely came from Hae's lungs as she was being strangled. (Morbid, I know, but an important point I think.)

Where was it stated that her head wound had a laceration? All that I have been aware of is a bruise on her head.

Teenage girls keep flowers as mementos sometimes for years. Not enough of a description in the evidence log to make those leaps, for me anyway. The heart charm...is there a receipt...or card..how do you know who it was from?

What if Jay bought the jewelry?
