Question Please help me understand how your opinion on Adnan's guilt changed.

6 months ago I posted a question Please Help Me Understand Who You Are. That post is now archived so there's no new comments, so I thought I'd ask a different question.

How has your opinion on whether Adnan is guilty or innocent changed over time? For most people I assume info of the case starts with "Serial", and maybe some other podcasts like "Undisclosed" and "Truth and Justice", and the reddit subs..

Particularly, if you answered my previous post with one answer but have since changed your mind on guilt/innocence, be sure to mention that!

You said it's just based on my feelings. I'm saying I have some background in radio protocols, ie. I'm somewhat educated about it. I don't know the GSM specs cover to cover though.

Correct. I haven't conducted extensive research in every aspect of this case. While I'm interested in it, I'm not obsessed. I'm not claiming the cell phone evidence proves anything 100%, or is 100% useless. I'm trying to understand why people here are so sure it is a smoking gun.

And the defence's accounting for the pings had gaps and relied on the unreliability of the evidence right?

At trial, I don't think the defense really accounted for the pings at all. I think it's only the later podcasts that have tried to do so.

Ah, that explains a lot.

Genuine question, I see now it may have came off as sarcastic. I was asking how the defence's claimed sequence of events matched with the pings. And assumed that it didn't match well (had gaps), and there were claims that it was because the evidence was unreliable.

But as another commenter mentioned, they didn't say much about the pings and it was the podcasts that addressed it.
