S14 Ep17: The Prosecutors V. Adnan - Pt. 11

* In part 11 of The Prosecutors' series, Brett and Alice aim to discredit any theories or elements of the case that could lead away from a guilty narrative.  The plot points on this one are: 1.  The reliability of incoming calls.  2.  When did Jay tell Jenn about the murder?  3.  Was there a pay phone at Best Buy?  4.  Did Jay lead the police to Hae's car?  And 5.  Did Jay and Adnan visit Kristi Vinson on the night of the murder?  This is part of their "process of elimination" approach to leaving you with no other options besides a guilty Adnan.  Bob addresses every element and easily points out the flaws in The Prosecutors' arguments.

S14 Ep16: Jay Wilds 2nd Recorded Interview - Full Audio

* This is Jay Wilds' second official recorded interview.  The interview took place on March 15, 1999.  Two weeks after Adnan Syed's arrest.  In this interview Jay has been present with a map of cell tower locations, and the call logs from 1/13/99.  Here Jay's story completely changes from his first official interview on 2/28/99.  The benefit of the audio as opposed to the transcript is that you can hear the long pauses.  You can hear the detectives tapping on something.  And if you listen really closely, you can actually hear them writing things down during some of those pauses.

S14 Ep14: Jennifer Pusateri Full Recorded Interview

* This is Jennifer Pusateri's full and unedited interview from 2/27/99.  According to the official record, Jenn was first approached by Police at her house on the evening of Feb. 26.  At that point, she told them that she was busy, but agreed to go down to the station to be interviewed later.  She then went to the police station around 9pm on the 26th.  In that interview she told the Detectives that she didn't know anything about Hae's murder.  The next morning, Jenn and her mother met the Detectives at her attorney's home where she was interviewed a second time.  After that, everyone went to the Police station and Jenn was interviewed a third time.  That third interview was recorded, and that's what you will be hearing in this episode.

S14 Ep13: The Prosecutors V. Adnan - Pt. 10

* Part 10 is the breakdown of Jay Wilds' trial testimony.  The Prosecutors used this episode to try to dismiss Susan Simpson's discovery of the tapping we hear during Jay's second official interview.  They claim that the jury knew all about that, and it's a perfectly normal practice.  Bob disagrees.
