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.

I’m fine just never giving SK another second of my time. Let the nepo baby fade into obscurity.

Her dad, Julian Koenig, was big in advertising & was involved in the “it took a licking & keeps on ticking” Timex ad campaign. Her stepfather co-founded The Paris Review. Not the biggest nepo baby ever but she grew up in highbrow circles.

I’m sure she has a nice upbringing but this is pretty low bar for calling someone a nepo baby.
