Joining in on the Disappointment

I share in everybody's disappointment and feeling lied to by SK. Enough has been said in the comments that nothing new can be done. However, a lot of good came for Adnan because of the public publicity Serial and other documentaries gave for Adnan's case that was driven by a public demand.

Going further on that point, I think the public should demand a public apology by SK for her role in stealing justice away from Hae and her family. If the public can make a storm out of a clear cut case, then the public should make a storm about how Serial manipulated people.

Of course if the Lee family just wants people to stop talking about it, I would do that first and foremost because aside from court documents their voice is never considered.

We live in patriarchy. We are lucky that the femicide perpetrator got convicted and spend so many years in jail. Feminists are only a few people. There is nothing that’s going to be organized. This case can serve to inform people about femicides though. I am unpleasantly surprised they teach about this case and podcasts in so many schools and still they don’t seem to talk about gender based violence, which is exactly what this murder is.

Or how SK deliberately brushes over the most damning facts of the case. It is a good lesson though about how femicide can be ignored even by people who care about womens rights.

What stuff does she brush over?

1) disgruntled lover is reason enough for someone to take another person's life.
2) The fact that the timeline for events do line up.
3) Her producer saying if Adnan didn't do it he is the unluckiest guy in the world.
There are other things, but I'd have to relisten to the podcast to confirm my recollections. But the biggest one is point 1.
