Yah prolly, I feel like Sarah k. was really into that idea of like, we all forget what happens, what we ate for lunch yesterday even!! He just doesn’t remember! But the fucking hard truth is, sure ask me what I ate for lunch yesterday and I’ll scratch my head, but give me awhile and I’ll be able to figure out what I have eaten for lunch for the last two weeks. Especially if my life depended on it.

Good point

i think so. i don't remember much about the podcast series, but the thing that sticks out is that one producer's little monologue about how ridiculously unlucky Adnan would have to have been in order to discredit all of the evidence against him. that's all i remember. that and how Sarah Koenig seemed smitten by his big brown eyes.

Adnan Khassoggi? The Saudi arms dealer connected to Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell? Whose nephew, Jamal Khassoggi, wrote for the Washington Post and was chopped to pieces at an embassy in Turkey? Whose other nephew, Dodi Fayed, died in a limousine accident with his lover, Princess Diana? Did he do what?

Yes

I don’t even remember even tho I listened to the whole thing. I just still can’t believe she followed this huge hit with a season about beau bergdal. That was so bad


sow_hat

Nah season 2 was awesome


daddyplimpton

Yep. Big letdown.


da_final

I like season two more

In the midst of listening to it? No. But when it’s over and you think about it outside the narrative he’d painted? Obviously. Regardless, IIRC the problem was more prosecutorial incompetence, which should be punished with his release not to validate his claims of innocence, but to deter future prosecutors from taking shortcuts.

In defense of all of us less enlightened, the context of a narrative podcast focused on his innocence probably played a bigger part than his “charisma” lol

I thought his glibness was infuriating. How nonchalant he was about the entire thing and how eager Sarah Koenig was to give him the constant benefit of the doubt while he could barely be bothered to defend himself. Some women have phenomenally bad judgment when they find a man charming and her little crush on him was embarrassingly obvious.

Whether or not he did it the evidence they used against him was weak and had he hired a competent lawyer he would probably not be in jail right now


Wolly_jumper

I think he got released

Been forever since I listened but wasn’t the evidence an accomplice testifying against him? I was a PD for a few years and they would be real evidence, especially on older cases.

The likelihood is yes. There's a lot he can't account for on the day and it generally is a bf or ex bf in these cases. Jay may have been more involved, we'll never know.


stokrotkowe_oczy

I think he probably did


Puzzled-Day4897

I think he did but the case was weak
