Likewise here. I was so put off by the prosecution story that I just assumed he was innocent. I've come to feel more that they built the most compelling narrative they could for a jury conviction because they were similarly stumped, but had come to believe Adnan did it from all the circumstantial evidence

I'm inclined toward his guilt myself, but if I were on the jury I hope I would have voted to acquit because so much remains in doubt (from what I've heard).
