In episode six and seven, we’re introduced to various new character, including Nisha, Cathy, and Deirdre Enright. Nisha is Adnan’s friend who was talking to Adnan on the phone after he committed the murder. Cathy is Jen’s friend who has a different version of the murder, which would have to involve a third person. Last but not least, we met Deirdre Enright, a lawyer from the Justin Wolfe case. Both she and Sarah conversed about the possibilities of Adnan being a psychopath, and attempted to resolve the likelihood of this being true.
By Tracy Douglas. In 2014, the Serial podcast examined the conviction of Adnan Syed in Maryland. There has been much discussion of what went wrong and mistakes by cops and attorneys. However, there was not a lot of discussion of racial and gender bias that may have played a role. Research has shown that juror perceptions of attorneys can play a. Serial Episode Summaries. Posted on May 30, 2015. Episode 1: Serial Podcast focuses on narrator Sarah Koenig exploring the murder case of Hae Min Lee. In Baltimore, January 13th, 1999, a high school senior disappears one day after school. Six weeks later, her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed is arrested for. Oct 25, 2018 Serial season 3, episode 7: The ramifications of a police beating. CLEVELAND, Ohio - This week's episode of Serial picks up where last week's left off, with a man locked in what East Cleveland.
As of now, both my group and I are having our doubts about Adnan committing the murder. In episode 6, Sarah reviews the case altogether, and also interviews Jen’s friend, Cathy, however, Adnan pointed out that in order for her story to be accurate, there would have to be a third person Adnan was talking to. If neither Adnan nor Jay can identify who this “third person” is, how can they assure Cathy’s side of the story is reliable? Also, in episode 7, when Deirdre Enright was interviewed, she was baffled as to why he was arrested with such little evidence, which I too agree with. This to me is a solid statement, because it simply does not make sense to me, especially considering the fact that some of the only evidence they had was fingerprints, which do not have a time stamp on them.
In the 6th episode of Serial, Cathy, Jen’s friend, was interviewed and asked what she knew about the case. She stated her side of the story, which would only be compatible if there was a third person involved. Afterwards, a woman Adnan was on a call with during the day of the murder, named Nisha, testified to not having a voicemail, despite the fact that Adnan said she did. Sarah states that this call is a big problem for Adnan. In episode 7, Sarah meets up with a lawyer involved in another case; the Justin Wolfe case. The lawyer’s name is Deirdre Enright, and the both discuss psychopathic tendencies. Sarah then shares her thoughts on how Adnan could potentially be a psychopath, however, Deirdre says that “she’s not that lucky to get a charming sociopath on her first case.” I predict in the next episode, they will go more in depth on psychopaths, and perhaps interview one and compare the interview to Adnan’s thoughts and actions.
In the Justin Wolfe case article, I believe the speaker is the author, Dahlia Lithwick, because there is no other mentioned speaker or author in the article at all. This took place from when Justin Wolfe was arrested in 2001, to after the 7th episode of Serial was uploaded. As most articles relating to Serial are, the intended audience was for both listeners of serial, and/or people associated or familiar with the Justin Wolfe case. The author wrote the article to inform and update readers on Justin Wolfe’s status as a criminal and why he is currently in prison even after his prosecution ended. It primarily talks about how the verdict of the case constantly changed, as a man previously who testified against Wolfe, Barber, stated he previously lied and Wolfe had nothing to do with the case, but re-confessing and saying he did. The tone really is informative, as that’s mainly what’s occurring in the article.
In both the Adnan Syed case, and the Justin Wolfe case, stories of witnesses kept changing. For example, various facts Jay previously stated were noted to change, in fact, even some of Adnan’s statements changed. This case is no different, because Barber’s story constantly changed, to the point where I personally would get him looked at to see if he was a psychopath, or had any association with the murder himself. I’m sure if you compared Barber’s actions with some on the psychopath list, there would be some matching traits of his on there. Overall, I am having my doubts about Adnan’s guilt, or even association, with this murder.
In episode six and seven, we’re introduced to various new character, including Nisha, Cathy, and Deirdre Enright. Nisha is Adnan’s friend who was talking to Adnan on the phone after he committed the murder. Cathy is Jen’s friend who has a different version of the murder, which would have to involve a third person. Last but not least, we met Deirdre Enright, a lawyer from the Justin Wolfe case. Both she and Sarah conversed about the possibilities of Adnan being a psychopath, and attempted to resolve the likelihood of this being true.
After listening to episode six and seven, things aren’t looking good for Adnan. There still isn’t enough evidence to start pointing fingers and saying “Adnan did it for sure,” but the facts are starting to pile up. I would still say that we as a group are still having our doubts, but it’s starting to paint a much clearer picture on who killed Hae Min Lee. In episode 6, we find out more evidence like Adnan’s hand print on the back cover of the map book in Hae’s car. We also learn that Adnan didn’t ever call Hae after her disappearance, which could leave us believing that he didn’t call because he obviously knew that she was dead.
Episode five was all about the route. Sarah Koenig and her friend Dana try out the route to see if Adnan’s part of the story matched up to reality; and it did. They wanted to test out everything, and from their testings they found everything possible and duable besides the amount of time left to strangle Hae. It would be almost impossible for Adnan to strangle her in the time remaining. In the next episode I think they will get more into the mind of Adnan, and maybe find out more motives for him killing her.

The article ties right back into Adnan’s case because of the unknown information. People surrounding the case keep changing their stories, such as Jay and Owen Barber. In both incidences, we don’t have cold hard facts about each of them, and they both are kinda in jail without the police being 100% sure. In Adnan’s case, there isn’t much information to go off of besides what people THINK happened that day, not what they know.
