As someone who attentively listened to the podcasts but became increasingly frustrated by their sensationalism, I was most interested in the story of the one person never interviewed, the victim. Is it really such a shock to most of you that eyewitness accounts from years ago are terrible evidence on which to convict someone? That the criminal justice system as visited on poor people is filled with apathy and incompetence?

The state did a terrible job and there should be a retrial. But shouldn't that poor girl deserve more? Someone killed her. Maybe all the pontificators should devote themselves to her story with the ardor of their attention to Serial.
