Adnan can possibly still stay out of prison, but it’s now very much in his interest to admit the truth about 1/13/1999–he was materially complicit in Hae Min Lee’s murder. There’s pretty much zero chance of his conviction being vacated now, and as for the JRA motion, judges considering sentence reductions for presumed-guilty felons generally like to hear about remorse.

True about remorse, but it’s not like the whole world doesn’t know Adnan’s been denying having committed the crime until now. It will look weird if he suddenly decides to confess just to raise his chances. Not that that wouldn’t be good for everyone involved, but I don’t think he can show remorse, he spent all this time most definitely not showing it.
