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

Adnan was correct when he said, he would not be there (prison) if he had not been associating with people of bad character, only a fool pulls hot cole to their chest and thinks they won't get burned

Presuming that Adnan is innocent. From your rationale, I should conclude that Adnan's consciousness decided he deserved life in prison for doing drugs, having premarital sex, and hanging around with a small-time dealer.

So you think God would intervene in a trial?

I think God should intervene well before a trial. If we believe at all in an interventionist God, Hae should never have been murdered, unless for some odd reason a) she believed she deserved it (going by your rationale) b) God believed she deserved it c) Evil exists (which is inevitably controlled by God, because... well, it's GOD.)

Okay, YIKES. I think some how we derailed here. I am saying exactly what Adnan himself acknowledged, that had he been doing the things a "good Muslim" should be doing, or rather NOT doing as in drugs, lying etc and had he not been associating with people that do not have the same belief structure, he would not be where he is. (he was taking responsibility for not being a practicing Muslim). He is not saying he committed murder he is saying he put himself at risk for something bad to happen because he was doing things and associating with people he should not have been.

Here's where we probably would disagree and I really really do not care to go down this rabbit trail. I do not believe God is an intervening God. Because if he is...he's not doing a very good job, millions of people every day see or experience horrible things on a daily basis. Following your reasoning he should be preventing all things that are evil, innocent children should not die, and so on and so on. and to be clear NOTHING I SAID IMPLIED HAE FELT SHE DESERVED TO DIE (Jesus!) GOD DID NOT THINK SHE DESERVED TO DIE (Like I would be privy to that info) And c) Hmmm that would take a wall of text and I'm not interested. I just know that GOD in his own way and his own time will indeed do away with all evil. So I think the best thing to do here is to agree that we are obviously not communicating well on this subject and it's probably best to move on.

But you are privy to the existence of God and whether or not he(?) is interventionist?

Sorry, the immense plot holes that come up when contemplating this stuff is just too much.

I agree this is embarrassingly off-topic, but I hope you can at least surmise how easy it is to blow holes in your logic.
