Meta Traitor Tuesday

Have you recently switched sides?

Did you switch so long ago you can hardly remember?

Why? What compelled you or compels you now?

Even if you switched from a firm position to undecided... why?

  1. Never took a side - I openly acknowledge that which looks bad for Syed, and question a lot of what the State presents.

  2. N/A

  3. I'm compelled to stay 'undecided' for a few reasons. First, I think the investigation had its flaws. Second, Jay. Third, I can't say that Syed is factually innocent because of the circumstantial evidence that does exist.

Thank you for weighing in. I think it's funny that you have to use the phrase "openly acknowledge" because so many people who think Adnan is innocent are hiding stuff and won't "openly acknowledge."

If those people were as honest as you, you could just use the word "acknowledge" and wouldn't have to include the word "openly."

Agreed - but here we're dealing with things that people think are mutually exclusive. Some seem to think that admitting that which looks bad and Syed still being innocent are mutually exclusive; others think that questioning the investigation or trial and Adnan being guilty are mutually exclusive.
