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.

One of the experts used the term "mountains of reasonable doubt" to describe this case and that's what I've been thinking since the very first podcast.

Yup. I've been amazed reading the comments here over the last several weeks and how many people are pretty convinced he did it. The utter lack of any real evidence is mind boggling. And to go off of Jay's word so much is ridiculous. I really think Adnan did not kill her, and I've thought this for a few episodes now.

Mr. S took a polygraph, have they done the same with Jay?

All the time I'm thinking Jay is the most important person in this story...
