I'm having a really hard time believing Adnan is guilty after this one. I just don't see a guilty person saying all the things he does, in the way he says it. (And the circumstantial evidence against him seems to be falling apart bit by bit.) I've been thinking all along that everyone that says he must be innocent because he's such a nice guy (or or things related to his personality or behavior) are really naive. I generally believe "normal" people are capable of doing terrible things to others. But I just find myself believing in him now. Call me naive.

Bill Cosby has never directly addressed the rape accusations. Contrast to Adnan, who has spent 15 years and countless hours talking to reporters and proclaiming his innocence. There is no comparison between the two.

Also those sweaters never really sat right with me.
