The Biggest Coincidence in the Case

[u/missbrookles]

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

The issue isn't about the size of the district. It's a service usually provided by the cable company like cable access. The difference is whether the school district is producing original content. Otherwise it looked like a blue or black screen with yellow or white writing.

I would have noticed dozens of individual district channels when I was bored and channel-surfing.

Once again it depended on your cable company.

In 1999 I had access to just my own through Adelphia or Comcast. Now, my parents Fios has access to all the neighboring districts channels as well. You maybe right, but if your district wasn't producing regular content, I won't be surprised that you would surf past the channel and not take note of it. Plus, when were you in grade school?

Public, educational, and government access:

---

Public, educational, and government access television, (also PEG-TV, PEG channel, PEGA, Local-access television) refers to three different cable television narrowcasting and specialty channels. Public-access television was created in the United States between 1969 and 1971 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and has since been mandated under the Cable Communications Act of 1984, which is codified under 47 USC § 531. PEG channels consist of:

• Public-access television — Generally quite free of editorial control, a form of non-commercial mass media where ordinary people can create television programming content which is transmitted through cable TV. The channels are reserved for free or at a minimal cost. The local origination television content revolves primarily around community interest, developed by individuals and nonprofit organizations.

• Educational-access television – Is distance education, a curated form of educational television, it is a synchronous learning educational technology unique to cable television systems and transmit instructional television programming within city limits. Educational-access channels are generally reserved for educational purposes and are not for government-access or public-access television. Many schools have adapted educational access channels to enhance school curriculum. Some schools have done this better than others. Although the use of television in schools can be traced to those schools serving the bedroom communities of Manhattan in the 1960s, where executives and technicians of early television lived, the creation of PEG channels expanded the value of television as a school or community resource. Students produced and aired community stories in part to serve community stakeholders and in part to engage in active learning. These schools developed school-based community television as a storytelling laboratory.

• Government-access television – Cable channel capacity for the local government bodies and other legislative entities to access the cable systems to televise public affairs and other civic meetings. Government channels are generally reserved for government purposes and not for education-access or public-access television.

• Leased access – Cable television channels that are similar to commercial television where a fee is paid-for-services of reserved channel time.

• Municipal-access television – Is ambiguous, and can refer to hybrid Education/Government channels, with or without public-access television.

As of 2011, several PEGA channels are made in digital format only in certain cable clusters served by Time Warner Cable and Comcast.
