Shit was captivating. For some reason I've been like really really into the appeal/retrial process and been going through all the post season ending articles and even the reddit about the case. (I generally dislike reddit, typical cesspool of internet savages, but that reddit has been pretty good)
Do I think Adnan did it? I don't know. I'm leaning 65% towards yes, but I do believe that he seemingly shouldn't have been convicted because there was enough reasonable doubt for an acquittal.
I know some of the recent developments have people saying its was a possible a serial killer, but I can't really fuck with that. If it was a totally outside person, how did Jay know where the car was?
Do I think Jay did it alone? Naw. I've read a theory that Jay was cheating on Stephanie and Hae was going to tell her, and she was going to tell the police he was dealing marijuana out of his grandmother's house. Don't really believe that. Why would Hae meet up with Jay to tell him that knowing that she had to go pick up her cousin? Seems like something you would do when you have time to go over the bullshit and see if Jay can refute the accusations. I've also read that it was Jay and Jenn, because they were cheating together. Again, Jay is not a moralistic nor straight edged person, but it seems a bit much to kill somebody because they're going to expose your cheating. There's a big difference between selling dime bags and killing a person.
The most farfetched theory is that Jay and Adnan were gay, and they killed her because she found out. Adnan and her had broken up by then, and she had moved on to other dick (Don). She was done with Adnan and on to the next one. Don't believe that idea particularly because we get no further evidence after 16 years to support that either one of them were gay, and they didn't come across as being close in an intimate way.
I will say Adnan is really likable, intelligent, and charismatic and if there is one criticism I have of the series it's the fact that Sarah seemed to like him so much that she came off kinda biased towards him. I can see how though because he's just so damn personable.
Ultimately, I think both Jay and Adnan are lying. It's pretty obvious that Jay was coached by the police so that his story gave more power to the prosecution, but I can't say to what degree. On one hand, I really hope Adnan is innocent because he doesnt come across as a killer, but it would be such a disintegration of justice to spend so much time in jail as a kid/adult and it would be fucked up beyond belief. On the other hand, there are several supersized holes in Adnans case so I can't say with confidence that he's innocent. Like the producer says, if he is innocent he has the worst most shittiest luck in the world.
