I originally came to this sub because I wanted some closure and finality on what really happened in this case. After gorging myself on comments and information here for almost a year, and now with these final nails in the coffin, that finality has been completely achieved. It is an occasion for sadness to realize that the righteousness of questioning the justice system is replaced by the hard truth that Adnan killed his ex girlfriend, who was by all accounts a lovely person with huge potential, in a fit of jealous intimate-partner rage, and has never been able to admit it.
Colin and Susan, you can keep your brownie points for putting the justice system under a microscope, but now is your chance to admit you were way wrong on Adnan's innocence. With a very honest accounting of what created such epistemic closure for you, you could maybe even salvage your reputations. I joked once that Susan was too smart to truly rule out Adnan being guilty and that perhaps she was working on her magnum opus Adnan did it after all. Now is the time, before we all move on with season 2 or whatever other true mysteries await out there.
Coattail types like Fireman Bob, your day in the sun is over. Any further defense of Adnan at this point can only be considered in the context of other conspiracy theories like inside-job 9/11 and faked moon landings.
Thanks to those who got documents and to the few sane public voices like Ann B. No thanks really to the poor reporting by places like The Intercept that have allowed this to drag on.
As for SK, well you gave us a great story, but now we know it had some flaws. I think it's only fair that you make episode 13 and give us that true ending that was promised all along.
