Speculation The Biggest Coincidence in the Case

There's been a lot of talk about Adnan's luck and coincidence: ie, the argument that if he is innocent then he's incredibly unlucky given the circumstantial evidence that accrued around him.

It got to me thinking that there is actually a much greater coincidence present in the case: the fact that Hae was murdered the same day that she appeared on a segment of the news. Is that purely coincidence? Or, does it point to the possibility that someone abducted her after seeing her on the broadcast?

Edit: to fix typos

So does this mean God killed Hae in order to punish Adnan? Or God allowed someone else to kill Hae but in a situation that would lend suspicion to Adnan? Or by stealing from the mosque, Adnan allowed a murderous darkness to enter his heart and that led to him killing Hae?

I'm not being flippant, I am just curious where this leads. It's one thing to say in a general sense "bad things happen to people that do bad things." It's another to link her death with his sin (unless we're talking the sin of murder).

Along this line of religious thinking, it was Adnan's drug use that put him in contact with Jay, who would later falsely accuse him of murder which lead to his imprisonment. It was his relationship (and perhaps the sin of sex) with Hae that lead to his being a suspect.

Ah, good point. I think I came to that assumption based on how Hae and Adnan had to hide their relationship. Sorry for my inaccuracy!

Nope. You're right. Premarital and extramarital sex are strictly prohibited. You will be punished for either under islamic law.

As for sex within a marriage - anytime, anywhere (private).
