Hard hitting stuff, 'clams.

I like how you let the facts speak for themselves.

welp. Nothing groundbreaking but it will be interesting to see the results.

Adnan and Jay did it, imo. Still seems most likely. Agree that there is basically no way that a jury should have agreed to that though.

I wonder if season 2 will be as good. I mean Sara basically started off by saying that this story fell into her lap by the force of Adnan's sis. She didn't find it herself. I guess others may start sending her interesting stuff to look at given how popular this one became.

Given that she spend right at a year to put season 1 together, and that they were soliciting funds as late as a couple weeks ago, I have a feeling we have a Soprano'ish break ahead of us before S2.

Really enjoyed this Season.

I don't think Adnan did it. The motive is too convenient, and it's weak. Asia will end up swearing under oath that he had an alibi, and I think he'll ultimately get off if all of these new motions are granted. The case the prosecution put together was extremely weak, but the jury seemed naive at best and criminally incompetent at worst.

I think someone instigated, and Jay helped. I think whoever did this ultimately got to Jay, and they got together and framed Adnan. Who that someone is, I have no idea, but I really don't believe Adnan did it.

The whole Innocence Project appeal they discussed was interesting at the end.

One reason I think Adnan did it is that I originally thought that the time btwn the break up and the time of her death was a decent amt of time. Didn't realize until this epi that it was 13 days. I think he didn't take it serious until he met Don when looking at Hae's car. Seeing Don and probably seeing Hae interact with Don, probably made it hit home pretty hard and made him mad because them not getting back together wasn't something he could deny any longer.

Also, Jay isn't intelligent enough to tell the same lie twice. He varied every time he told it. No way do I think that he is part of some greater conspiracy. I think he helped more than he is saying and that he was scared of Adnan.

I do think it is interesting that Adnan formally requested that the Innocence Project file that appeal re: DNA, though. This certainly doesn't fit with the above thoughts of mine.

Thought it was a pretty good last epi since I knew it wouldn't really be resolved. I hope Adnan gets out. Even if he did do it, there's no way that d00d should be in jail because the state's case was completely incompetent.

Yeah, the jurors are naive.

I installed flooring in my basement the last couple of days and listened to all the episodes. Very entertaining show. I go back and forth on whether he did it or not or at least was part of it. The SNL but was hilarious.

I think what is really interesting is how "podcasts" have now become a mainstream thing. I want to see if and how the momentum continues

I don't think it's anything like a "podcast". It's just a great way to tell a story.

I think Koennig should have read this book (as should everyone should was interested in the show): http://www.amazon.com/The-Invisible-Gorilla-Intuitions-Deceive/dp/0307459667

it's certainly a podcast- its defining what a podcast is (that's the American Life model).

the marketing dollars for next season will be fought after, I like seeing the market evolve

Tip of the Iceberg IMO. I would equate it to what blogging was 10 years ago.

Also, others will try to replicate it, hopefully spinning off other quality podcasts of this format.

I'm on episode 6 or 7. Had Adnan ever like been in a fight before? Had he ever been in real trouble? I don't believe someone, even an idiot teenager, would murder someone with their bare hands without some history of physical violence.

Nope.

Keep listening.

And guys, the SNL thing was so good. They nailed all the main characters. Chris on the phone was fantastic.
