Have any of you guys listened to it? The gist of it is that it’s a podcast that tells a true story in 12 parts.
Here is the description of it on the website.

n January 13, 1999, a girl named Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County, Maryland, disappeared. A month later, her body turned up in a city park. She’d been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was convicted and sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan’s friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae’s body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae’s death. Some people believe he’s telling the truth. Many others don’t.

Sarah Koenig, who hosts Serial, first learned about this case more than a year ago. In the months since, she’s been sorting through box after box (after box) of legal documents and investigators’ notes, listening to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talking to everyone she can find who remembers what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee fifteen years ago. What she realized is that the trial covered up a far more complicated story, which neither the jury nor the public got to hear. The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence – all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person’s character? How can you tell what they’re capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers.

I got through all 12 episodes and I don’t know if Adnan is guilty of murder. There are way too many inconsistency’s and holes in the story for my likeing. What are your guys thoughts?

Yes, and it was a very addicting podcast. I’m not sure of his guilt either; however it does seem like his attorney screwed up on his case. It was very interesting.

I also don’t believe Jay at all. I think he was more involved than he admits.

I think Ben Affleck did it in the conservatory with the academy award.

That’s the right movie, right?
