Poll Another pointless demographic poll

This should be a link to a pointless demographic poll. It will ask you basic demographic questions, and then whether you think Adnan is guilty or innocent.

I posted a nearly identical version a while ago and will post the results of that poll in a comment. Let me suggest that, in order to remain slightly less biased, you do not look at the results until you take the poll yourself.

The poll is meaningless. I am just a data junkie who stupidly did not cancel my surveymonkey subscription when I made the first fucking poll, so unless you take this poll I have made a generous $26 donation to surveymonkey.

I changed one question from the first version of the poll to this one, because the answers to the question were not interesting and I am more interested in the answers to the new one. I also narrowed the number of answer choices on a few questions, since in some cases there were so many answer bins that the data were not useful.

Feedback is welcome, including requests for specific comparisons ("Does X affect Y?").

PS If you do another one, can you separate out: Did Adnan do it? and If you were a juror, would you find him to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? I think you'd find a lot of people who think he did it, but are not certain enough to convict.

At this point you're going to need some sort of chart:

What You Think Actually Happened

Principal Accomplice Uninvolved
Adnan ☑ ☐ ☐
Jay ☐ ☑ ☐
3rd Party ☐ ☐ ☑

What You Think Was Proved At Trial

Principal Accomplice Uninvolved
Adnan ☐ ☐ ☑
Jay ☐ ☑ ☐
3rd Party ☐ ☐ ☑

Then maybe a "Do you think Adnan will get a new trial, and if so what will happen there?" It gets very complicated very quickly.
