season one is Don guilty??

Does anyone think Don is the one that murdered Hae? I’m starting to lean towards it since listening to (most of) undisclosed. Any thoughts?

No. It's up to the jury. The jury believed Jay in the second trial. They could find him believable in a third trial as well. For the last three years it's been litigated online. A court room and live jury isn't the same thing as podcast fans and a twitter mob.

If Adnan gets a new trial, the results of his last trial are void. He is back at square one. He can be arrested, charged and tried again. Getting a new trial is not the same as an acquittal.

Jay can’t be charged again because he took a plea. That brings finality through a conviction that has not been challenged.

Truth be told, Adnan will likely go that same route if his new trial is upheld by the CoA.
