So anyone think they are going to drop a bombshell in the last episode?  Kosmette says the person who brought the case to TAL's attention has been with holding some info from her blog.  Wonder if the internet explodes tomorrow..
It's called Interview With Stephanie, so...

But no, I do not. I think it isn't primarily a whodunit. There's an element of that but it's really a look at the imperfections of our criminal justice system and what defines "reasonable doubt." I expect Sarah Koenig's takeaways to be in that vein.

Website says it's called what we know, but an interview with her would be a bit of a coup...

i mean..it ended exactly like i thought it would

my take is that he probably did it....too much "bad luck" if he didn't. but you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty...and was he guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with the evidence (that we heard in the podcast anyway)?  i'm not so sure you could say so

Yeah, I agree with all that.

"There's no point in trying to come up with a most-likely scenario, because you could posit a hundred scenarios and so what? ... Even the soberest, most likely scenario holds no more water than the most-hairbrained."

^ This was pure horseshit used to remove SK from the wrath of the pro-Adnan people. That's intellectual garbage and I have no idea how you say that without laughing. Yes, the prospect of Adnan killing her holds no more water than the idea that it was, in fact, a joint effort between Killer Bob from Twin Peaks and the bearded man from Too Many Cooks. I mean that's just some freshman year philosophy class "who can know truth" bullshit.

one more thing, regarding the innocence project and DNA testing.....apparently 50% of the tests that are initiated by prisoners come back positive (as in they knew they were guilty but gave it a go anyway). this is just something i read on a forum, no idea where the stat is coming from or of its true.

I'm not pro-adnan, but I don't exactly think he got his day in court, which is why there is an appeal process.  Plus, seems to me he should have been at least been offered a plea deal.  But, the biggest take away is hoping to never have to go through an ordeal like that...

agreed.
i also don't think that jay shouldn't have avoided jail time. especially if he was involved as much as it is portrayed.

i'm glad some loose ends with don were...kinda? tied up. but it is still strange to me that he said he loved her and still loved her...they dated for 13 days. how does no guy that is so infatuated with her try to contact her after she goes missing. there had to be something strange with her that was never reveled.
