    The Prosecutors V. Adnan - Pt. 1

    In this special "Reply Brief" edition of Truth & Justice, Bob shares his thoughts on Part 1 of "The Prosecutors" podcast's analysis of the Hae Min Lee murder case, and the conviction of Adnan Syed.  The Prosecutors' set out to present a just the facts breakdown of the case against Adnan, in this series.  After listening, Bob believes he has caught some inaccuracies and misstatements of fact.  This is part 1 of his episode by episode reply to their coverage, where he intends to source the facts.  Share where he believes they got it right, and where they got it wrong.  The big question for today is . . . What time did track practice actually start . . . and when did it end?

    The Prosecutors V. Adnan - Pt. 2

    This week Brett and Alice are breaking down the timeline from August 27, 1998 through January 12, 1999.  They cite Hae's diary as a source.  They don't mention where the rest of the information is coming from, but it appears they are working off of this Reddit post for pretty much the entire episode:

    Key takeaways:

    Inez Butler originally told police that Hae was going to pick up her cousin, and then go to work.  Not a wrestling match.  LINK TO HER POLICE STATEMENT 

    Debbie Warren saw Adnan in the Guidance Counselor's office at 2:45 and then Hae in the lobby at 3pm. 

    Evidence indicates that she did have the right day.  LINK TO HER INTERVIEW

Highly recommend

I have listened since the very beginning, finding the podcast accidentally after I had finished Serial. Bob is very engaging, caring and enthusiastic about his work which makes it a great listen. I always look forward to a new episode dropping.
