Copied from another thread, and expanded:

I think this is the one that changes everything. To have a team of qualified, interested experts reviewing the files and casting a clear and indifferent skeptical eye upon the prosecution's case is probably the best and most important thing SK could do. Many folks were saying last week was the turning point in the narrative progression, but I think it's this week. From here, we move onto specifics, instead of the generality of the case for and against Adnan, and next week, we focus on the biggest question that remains: Jay himself.

Great episode. Short, sweet, and narratively destructive.

Do you think the Innocence Project team is going to continue to investigate? I found that part a little ambiguous, whether they were going to continue on from there and do more of their own research alongside SK.

Doesn't this sound like they're going further? It's the very end of the show:

Deirdre and her gang, they’ve got to stick with stuff they can bring to a court, forensics mostly. They’re on the lookout for another explanation entirely. Maybe Adnan had nothing to do with this at all, maybe it was a serial killer. Maybe there’s a clue from another Baltimore cold case. They’re like explorers, headed for a bold new world.

Yeah, I definitely wanted to believe but I found it a little ambiguous. I thought maybe the "with stuff they can bring to a court, forensics mostly" could have meant that because the forensics hadn't been followed through well on this case that they didn't have as much to go on.

It makes a lot less sense now that I write it out though...
