Theme: Information that indicates Adnan’s guilt
Response:
-Given some background information about the case, we understand that Adnan is a Devout Muslim
-His ex-girlfriend was murdered by manual strangulation and Adnan is a prime suspect that was put in jail for the crime
-Adnan is a teenager though, and he does smoke, drink, and have sex
-These points call for some doubt about Adnan's story as he is 'supposed' to follow all the rules as a Muslim in Islam
-We also gain the information that Adnan was with his friend Jay, and supposedly told him he was going to "kill that bitch", referring to Hae Min Lee, his ex
-Lastly, Adnan could not recall where he was the day in question, which could be because it was weeks ago, or because he is guilty

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan’s innocence
Response:
-In this episode, we get insight on Adnan and Hae's relationship
-Pieces of Hae's diary do not provide much proof of Adnan's guilt or motive he would have for murdering her
-We get some of their friend's accounts, and the relationship seems decently normal for teenagers and relatively civil after the breakup
-After they had broken up, Hae had car trouble and Adnan was someone she called for help, then in her diary she wrote about how nice and helpful he was for her when she was in trouble
-During the time Adnan helped Hae, her current crush/boyfriend was also helping and there was no obvious trouble between him and Adnan
-In summary, this episode proved that there was no obvious motive that Adnan would have had to murder his ex, and their relationship and breakup were typical and mutual

Theme: Information that implicates another suspect
Response:
-In episode 3, we are introduced to "Mr.S", the man who found Hae's body
-After learning how Mr.S supposedly found the body, he becomes a suspect
-Mr.S said that on his way to work, he had to pee and decided he could not hold it, so he went to the park in the woods. This is suspicious because he went decently far into the park, and just happened to stumble upon the body
-Police and others went to recover the body and found it very difficult to even see, despite knowing where it was.
-This makes Mr.S very suspicious because it seems he would have to have known where the body was, something about who put it there, or he put it there himself.
-Lastly, we learn about Mr.S's record of streaking, and inappropriate public nudity which brings about concern

Theme: Other themes that you see emerging: In consistency in alibis
Response:
-In this episode, we get a better look at Jay, his relationship with Adnan, and his story about what happened
-Jay's story he gives in multiple interviews has many inconsistencies such as what he and Adnan did that day, whether they smoked or not, and whether he helped bury the body or not
-These inconsistencies give us some doubt about whether Jay's word is credible or not. His story and evidence are very likely the most important to the case as he was so close to the situation, so if his story is not credible at all, that could prove Adnan's innocence

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan’s innocence
Response:
-In this episode, the podcaster Sarah Koenig and a friend of hers go out on a mission. They have a list of all the things Adnan had to do within 21 minutes to match up with call logs and the alibis
-When they complete all the tasks, giving generous amounts of time for unmeasured events, their total was just over 22 minutes. This makes them skeptical because Adnan would have had to do all the things on the list without error, or someone was lying and he really is guilty
-Jay's story showed more inconsistencies, especially regarding the Patapsco story. He describes a vivid scene where Adnan talked about the murder, but Jay never mentions this trip on trial

Theme: Prosecutorial/Police Misconduct
Response:
-Sarah Koenig (podcaster) speaks to Detective Jim Trainum and he reveals that it is more important for the court and police to "build your case" rather than try to get the whole truth.
-"Verification bias" is also mentioned, which is wanting to believe a witness if they are part of your case, but basically picking and choosing evidence and information that fits the case, so there are minimal inconsistencies. This seemed to have happened multiple times in the case of Adnan Syed
-Chris is mentioned multiple times as being a close friend of Jay's, who Jay told about the murder. The issue is that Chris was never interviewed by police or mentioned throughout the case

Theme: Race/Religion/Culture
Response:
-Early on in the episode, we understand more about the trial and the possible prejudices had by various people
-Another instance of possible bias can be inferred from the following: "She [Ms.Wash] says she’d misconstrued information from Mr. Harry Marshall of the Justice Department. She talked to him again and he made it clear that there was not a pattern of young Pakistani men committing murder after they’d been jilted and then running off to Pakistan." Wash had stated false information in the court, which resulted in the need for an apology letter to the judge. In said apology letter, Wash makes another error in referring to Adnan as Pakistani, while he is American with Pakistani heritage
-Although the court never directly says that Adnan did the crime because he is a Muslim, the topic was danced around many times. Part of the case of the prosecution was Adnan's secret relationship he had and how that proves his motive for the crime

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan’s guilt & Sarah Koenig (podcaster) shows bias
Response:
-In the beginning of the episode, we are told that the neighbor boy said that he saw an "oriental girl's body" in the back of a truck in the trunk, and they brought up the name Adnan
-The girl that Jay and Adnan were with in her apartment said that "the other guy" [Adnan] was acting really weird, even thought she didn't know him. She said it was strange behavior for anyone and he also had a suspicious phone call (the day of the murder)
-"The Nisha Call": around 3:30 PM, the only call made that afternoon to a person only Adnan knew was made. This proves that Adnan and Jay were together at this time, which contradicts Adnan's story
-Near the end of the podcast episode, Sarah Koenig says "And so I start to doubt him, I talk to him and talk to him, and I start to doubt my doubts. And then I worry that I’m a sucker that I don’t know. That’s the cycle." This shows bias because she became close to Adnan throughout the investigation of his case and so her opinion may cloud her vision of Adnan's guilt or innocence

Theme: Information that indicates Adnan’s innocence
Response:
-This episode debunks and analyzes many different rumors. We hear opinions on Adnan from many different people, for example Atif Iqbal. He says that he knew Adnan and he had never seen Adnan in a fight, or get mad ever. This seems like a good reference point of Adnan's real personality, which coins the question: Did this man commit murder?
-Another "rumor" was about Adnan stealing money from the Mosque. This seems to be true, but it was most likely exaggerated, and was not thousands of dollars like some said it was. Adnan admits to this, and from the way he explains it, I believe he is still innocent because he was a teenager, and he seemed to understand it was wrong.
-Adnan maintained his innocence all the years he was in jail, and never faltered from that point. He never stopped trying to prove himself innocent.
-Adnan adapted to prison life very well considering his circumstances. He behaved well and kept a good demeanor. Adnan also maintained relationships with his family and some friends throughout his time in prison, as well as never needing discipline.
-Throughout the episode, Koenig and others say that they do not believe Adnan is a psychopath, as he shows emotion and empathy. This does not rule out his guilt completely, but it does help the case as the people at the trial tried to pin Adnan as a psychopath.

Theme: Information that implicates another suspect/Information that indicates Adnan’s innocence
Response:
-This episode attempts to sum up all the information provided in the past episodes, in order to come to a verdict. There is still no clear answer, but the facts of the case possibly implicate another suspect/Adnan's innocence
-Ronald Lee Moore was a known criminal, who committed burglaries, rapes, and murder. He was in prison, and accidentally got released. Within the short period he was out, Moore was very active in his crimes. It just so happens that the time he was released was also the time that Hae was killed. This information could indicate he was the man that murdered Hae, as it seems more believable than an innocent-seeming teenager
-The podcaster and her producers went over tons of information that was used against Adnan. Most of it can not be proven, and altogether it put Adnan in a very unlucky position.
-Former homicide detective Jim Trainum shares his opinion on Adnan's case: "He said most cases, sure they have some ambiguity, but overall, they’re fairly clear. This one is a mess he said. The holes are bigger than they should be. Other people who review cases, lawyers, a forensic psychologist, they told us the same thing." Even professionals feel that the evidence of Adnan's case does not add up, and there are many inconsistencies
