bad day posted:Actually I'm just disappointed that they didn't have any information that wasn't already in the publicly available court documents. I read many of the documents and summaries while waiting for new episodes of Serial to come out, thinking maybe Koenig had at least uncovered some sort of new information that would:

Last Chance posted:It was still interesting true crime. drat you SK for telling this story and not magically producing more evidence or coming to a more definite conclusion. I demand to be entertained more! More, I say! i really think she expected to find some new exonerating evidence but when in the end it looked like adnan really probably did choke hae and bury her then lie about it she fell back on the weakass 'well regardless if u think he actually did it, legally speaking maybe he shouldnt have been convicted' which is a huge goddamn nothing. the amount of time she wasted on that ridiculous buttdial poo poo just shows how desperate she was. it wasnt a normal true crime thing because from the start it was supposed to be a re-evaluation of a closed case rather than just a description of one. she obviously believed a bit too much in that rabia persons advocacy for this as a wrongful conviction case when it's just a pretty itneresting jealous ex boyfriend chokes ex girlfriend case.

bad day posted:But if I were her producer I wouldn't have let this go to air until she produced something - some concrete tangible fact that casts new light on the case. I would have told her to shelve the story until she came up with something that wasn't already part of the public record. Or I would have insisted she edit it down into a one or two-part TAL episode. And you would have been the producer that turned down the biggest podcast of all time.

I feel like SK airing Adnan's desperation near the end was probably the closest Serial wanted to get to having a conclusive ending. I mean, unless you believe that the real killer would make a guy pancakes or write long rambling letters to the press.

Adnan Syed, convicted killer in 'Serial,' gets big break in quest for new trial Looks like he has at least a hint of hope. That's too bad. Despite being a large portion of the podcast, The walk from the school to Best Buy is doable in the time Anand claims was impossible to drive.

I think even if you think he's guilty you should not have a problem with a new trial. He did not have adequate representation.

The problem with endless retrials is that they invariably present a weaker case for the prosecution. If Charles Manson were to get a fresh trial today, there's a non-zero chance he'd be acquitted. That doesn't mean he's innocent, it just means the case has degraded. It's kinda hosed for Hae's family.

A court of appeals may kick something back down to a lower court but only if there was an error in procedure or sentencing and even then the lower court can refuse to reopen the case, as might happen. Adnan didn't get a retrial, what he has is permission to file a request to reopen a post-conviction hearing. As for Charles Manson, I think you are bringing up something of a false dilemma. He doesn't just get a do-over or a mulligan because he lost. His case is closed, the matter decided. To reopen it, to get a fresh trial, he would have to go through an appeal process and would need to demonstrate that the original trial was wrong in procedures or practices enough to warrant a retrial. So yeah, Charles Manson has a non-zero chance of acquittal in a new trial, the problem is getting a new trial and that problem is a big one. The order is here if you want to read it. It is only 5 pages and is pretty concise. bedpan fucked around with this message at 16:33 on May 20, 2015 |
