Series three finished in 2018, with Joshua having started six years in prison. He seemed upbeat at the time. He would have been released in 2024, aged 25. Was he released then? Or earlier on parole? Has he moved forward with his life or returned to trouble? It would be good to know. Is there a follow-up episode that I've missed? I did a search on this sub and couldn't find any update on Joshua.…

Can anyone give a link to the transcript (preferably searchable) of this interview (from March 15th 1999)? Any theories as to why the transcript seems hard to find now (other than availability of the audio recording detracting from need for the transcript)? Notice there's no "info request" flair here as it's a generally silly and useless flair. submitted by /u/eigensheaf [link] [comments]
I want to start by saying I have been a huge advocate for Adnans innocence. I even went to his release trial. I was in the courtroom when they said " Please remove the shackles from Mr Syeds feet " ... and I cried. I felt it was such an injustice that he was a child sentenced to such a harsh punishment with no physical evidence. In my mind how could a child fool these 2 seasoned detectives? How…
So my friends were listening to season 1 and so I did the same, so I could discuss it. From episode one Adnan Syed seemed completely obviously guilty. I guess I didn't see the point of the rest of the podcast, at best it seemed to try and establish reasonable doubt. Yet it just seemed the evidence piled on especially the cell phone evidence. While Jay has obviously lied about some things, I don't…
There were video recordings in the library. Unfortunately they were recorded over before anyone could view them. But if there were recordings of Adnan in the library checking his emails and chatting with Asia would that change how you view the case? This has always been a maddening case. Either it went down close to what Jay said. Or police coerced Jay into making up a story to convict someone he…
There has been a lot of doubt placed on the state’s theory of ~2:30PM as the time of death. Several witnesses stated they saw Hae at the school beyond 3. Also, there is reason to doubt the Best Buy parking lot as the murder location. That detail changed between Jay’s first and second interviews, and he also admitted in The Intercept article that the trunk pop happened in front of his grandmother’s…
Obviously this is operating under the assumption that Adnan is innocent, I am not making a statement on whether or not he is. This is not me digging to prove he's innocent As far as I can tell, the most absolute, concrete truth is that Jay was involved in the murder in some way, since he knew where Hae's car was. Is it possible that Jay was coerced/made to implicate Adnan by a killer with leverage…
