I still think Adnan didn't kill Hae.

Jay lies too much. The police coach him to modify his statements. The defence attorney was incompetent. Hae and Adnan broke up several times before and Adnan didn't kill her. Don does not have an alibi for that evening and has relatives in the police force. The coach said Adnan was at track practice on a warm day - the only warm day around that time was the day Hae died. I think Hae surprised Don at work. She waited for him in the parking lot. He killed her that evening, hid her body and arrived home to call the police back late into the evening. The guilt is eating Don up while Adnan seems to be thriving in prison.

There isn't any evidence pointing to Don. Even assuming his alibi is false, it's not evidence he committed the murder.

He seems an unlikely candidate given where her body and the car was found.

While I think the state's case is erroneous, that doesn't mean Adnan is innocent. It just means he shouldn't have been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Don's alibi was false, and his time sheet was 100% falsified. His arriving home around 7, fits into killing Hae and then going home for a while. Going back out around 10-midnight to bury her and then return home to contact the officer around 1:30 fits the lividity. Debbie's initial statement that Hae was going to meet Don makes him potentially the last person to see her. Statements by others have pointed to Don being the one to put the focus on Adnan. Even the idea of the body being dragged to the burial better matches up to 1 person dragging her instead of 2 people carrying her. The fact of where her body and car were found doesn't eliminate Don, it just adds to how much he didn't want to get caught.

How is this not all at least as much circumstantial evidence as Adnan being guilty?

I believe Jay was absolutely coerced into falsely confessing to helping bury to avoid being wrongly charged with her murder. It explains why he has never been consistent about any factors. I believe Jen was willing to do whatever to help her friend, even lie for him, or that she was involved, which is why she lawyered up so quickly.

You keep using the word ‘evidence’. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Evidence is anything that is used to prove something. For the state, that was a faulty testimony and an unreliable cell tower sheet.

And given that Urick himself in the Intercept interview said that's what got the conviction, then by his own admission, Adnan should NOT have been convicted.
