And Hae’s diary seems to be where they found some evidence for that" (Sarah Koenig). What rhetorical strategy is employed here?

Because if he was, library equals innocent. It's so maddeningly simple. And maybe I can crack it if I could just talk to Asia"(Sarah Koenig). What rhetorical strategy is Sarah attempting to use to prove Adnan's innocence?

" [the judge] wrote, Asia's letter contradicted Adnan's own alibi. Asia says she saw him at the public library, but Adnan said he was on the school campus the whole afternoon.
