Theme: Information that indicates Adnan's innocence
Response:
* The letters of Asia McClain
* His lawyer had a note about Asia and her boyfriend seeing him and how there might have been cameras in the library
* Asia McClain recounts the time that she saw Adnan in the library and that that time completely contradicts the prosecutions entire timeline of when the murder happened.

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan's innocence
Response:
* Every account from people who knew him said that he was not mad at Hae, he was not heartbroken.
* The prosecution tried to make Adnan look possesive but Hae's friends say they remember nothing bad or out of the ordinary
* The prosecution used his schoolwork to say that he had a dark side, using some poetry from his English class as an example but his English teacher said that all of the poetry her students wrote was dark because they were teenagers so of course it was and Adnan's wasn't actually anything especially concerning.

Theme: Information that implicates another suspect
Response:
* The park where the body was found was nowhere near  the school. On top of that, people generally didn't know where the park was and they stayed away from it because it was famous for being a site where dozens of bodies had been found. If Adnan was really as clever as everyone says he was, he would know not to hide a body in a place that's famous for turning up dead bodies.
* The man who found the body was a suspect himself  as his story didn't make a lot of sense and had a few holes in it such as where he was in relation to the fallen tree and how he was able to see the body because of how well it was hidden.
* The man who found thr body claimed that he had been drinking a 22 oz beer and that when he found the body, the bottle was almost empty. The body however was so well hidden that the investigators had trouble even seeing it when they arrived on the scene. So how could a man whose vision was probably a bit impaired by alcohol have seen such a well hidden body? This makes "Mr. S" look even more like the guilty party than Adnan.

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan's guilt
Response:
* The police received an anonymous call telling them to look into Adnan
* Adnan called this girl six times in one day and the girl later told Sarah Koenig that Jay had come to her and told her that Adnan was the killer just like Jay had told the authorities when he was questioned about Adnan.
* Jay had a certain reputation for being the kind of guy who doesn't always follow the law. He says that anybody who really knew him would know that this is not true aside from smoking a bit of weed. Adnan didn't know Jay very well besides them smoking weed together from time to time which could meaan that Adnan was unaware that this reputation was inaccurate and if he were to call on anybody to help him get rid of a body it would have been Jay.

Theme: ineffective council
Response:
* Adnan's attorney knew about the phone booth in the Best Buy parking lot or lack there of as we were told she mentioned it during the trial but she didn't actually do anything with it. She didn't use it to its full extent to discredit Jay's testimony.
* Even though Adnan said he was at school during the time of the murder, there was a call in his phone records made when he said he was at school. Jay knew about this phone call and said it had been made in his presence on a golf course. Adnan's attorney never looked far enough into the call or else she would have realized that the cellphone tower triangulation of the call says that he was not on a golf course.
* If Adnan had an effective council, his attorney would have realized that Jay's story places them in a state park a long drive away from track practice which is where Adnan said that he was. While Adnan's alibi of having been at track practice was never confirmed, for whatever chance there was that someone would remember him being or not being there, he would want to be at track practice, not miles away smoking weed on a cliff with Jay. Additionally, we know that Adnan is clever, it was one of the things that the prosecution used against him in his trial. This would also mean that he would have known that showing up late would mean potentially receiving chastisement and it would stick in people's heads that he had shown up late and they could have disproved his alibi of having been there.

Theme: Prosecutorial/ Police Misconduct
Response:
* The prosecution used the missing page of the map as evidence against Adnan. The prosecution should know that their job is not necessarily find Adnan guilty but to find Hae's killer guilty. When they were collecting evidence against Adnan, they neglected to find out whether or not all of their evidence was irrefutable such as the missing page from the road map.
* The prosecution used the testimony of a man who said that his daughter had been told by a friend that the friend had been shown the body of a dead Asian girl by Adnan. When they went to confirm whether or not this was true by speaking to the friend, the friend said that it was untrue. They used it in court anyways.
* When one girl was testifying that she had talked to Jay on the phone while he was with Adnan, she almost mentioned Jay going to work at an adult video store but the prosecution cut her off before she could say it because it would contradict them since Jay didn't work there at that time. The prosecution interrupted a testimony so that the girl wouldn't ruin their argument with what she had to say. That is misconduct by the prosecution.

Theme: Information That Indicates Adnan's Guilt
Response:
* When Sarah went to go see Jay, the way that he acted seemed to genuine. It was like he was actually frustrated that Adnan wouldn't just admit to it this many years later when he had already been convicted. This could actually go either way because he could be frustrated that Adnan hadn't given up on trying to be proven innocent and that Jay would have had 15 years at this point to practice how he would react to anybody privately investigating the murder.
* Sarah Koenig talked to an investigator and the investigator looked at the case and said that while he was skeptical about Adnan's claim of innocence and while he didn't necessarily believe Jay, the reason he didn't was because the story seemed off but it could have been true.
* This guy named Chris who knew both Jay and Adnan said that Adnan had probably killed Hae in the parking lot of the library where Asia McClain had seen him and that Adnan had threatened Jay that he would kill Stephanie if he  didn't help him.

Theme: Other - Adnan's personality
Response:
* He was described by someone who knew him as being able to defuse any situation. He could talk people down from anything whether he was involved in whatever the conflict was or not.
* Adnan stole money from his mosque. This doesn't really testify to his personality given that he said he was 14 or so at the time which is a point in our lives that we all look back on and hate that version of ourselves. He said he regrets it now and that he's ashamed but if it really was as much money as Sarah Koenig's anonymous source says it was collectively and he didn't realize quite how wrong it was, that could speak to a malicious personality around the age where he allegedly killed Hae.
* Most people said that in the event that Adnan did kill Hae, it was absolutley not premeditated. That means he's either a very convincing liar who was setting himself up to be able to get away with murder for years or it was completely un-thought out. In which case, Jay's statement of hearing Adnan say he was going to kill Hae can't be true.

Theme: prosecutorial/ police misconduct
Response:
* At the hearing for Adnan's bail, the prosecution argued that there had been a history of young, Pakistani men being released on bail and then fleeing the country to escape justice. The prosecution later retracted that statement and apologized for any misinterpretations. Although, in the apology they did not acknowledge that Adnan is not Pakistani, he is American with Pakistani heritage. He was born here.
* The prosecution used examinations that were quite clearly biased against Muslims including one that said something along the lines of that you'd have to be stupid to let your daughter date a boy named Adnan Masud Syed.
* The prosecutor of the case provided Jay with a free lawyer even though Jay was being brought up on accessory charges and they would be prosecuting him. Additionally he would be used as a witness against Adnan so by giving him a free lawyer and a plea deal, it was almost like they were paying him for his testimony.

Theme: Information That Indicates Another Suspect
Response:
* The night that Jay was picked up by the cops at the porn shop, there was a white van parked out front that he told his coworker was definitely Adnan or someone associated with Adnan come to kill him but then never brought this up in court.
* The recipient of the call that Adnan made that went against his story for where he was at the time says that the call was not on that day but Jay, who was also on the call, was the one who brought it up in court as having been on that day. Additionally, there is reason to believe that that call could have been something so simple as a butt-dial that went unanswered and it still would have shown up in the call log and on the bill so if the call was really nothing and the actual call between Adnan and Nisha was on another day like she said it was. That would mean Jay was either lying or an unreliable witness.
* There was another young Korean woman also found strangled in a Baltimore park which suggests a serial killer and since the DNA evidence found at the secne and on Hae's body was never tested, there's no way to say that it is Adnan's and not this potential serial killer. The main suspect for this serial killer was another guy who had been arrested for multiple murders who had been released from prison 12 days before the murder.
