What Adnan and Hae have in common that Adnan cites as having the most appeal about being in a relationship with each other is

They both had strict immigrant parents

They both were in the magnet program

If you wanted to prove that Adnan was unhealthily obsessed over Hae, which testimony would be the strongest evidence to use in your case?

A quote from Aisha saying, “just the constant paging her if she was out, um, and he’s like, “Well I just wanted to know where you were.” And it’s like, “I told you where I was gonna be.”

A quote from Aisha saying, “she would like to show me notes they shared…it was a relationship that was constantly secret”

A quote from Hae saying, “How dare he get mad at me for planning to hang with Isha!”

A quote from Hae saying, “Adnan dropped by Isha’s late. With carrot cake!”.

The cops find Hae’s body because

Mr. S told them where to search for it because he found it by chance

Jay told them where to search for it because he helped bury the body

The police dogs found her body because they picked up her scent

Adnan told them where to search because he helped bury the body

Which words does Koenig use to set this mood? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

A macabre website dedicated to Baltimore murders lists…

On a freezing day we went…back into the woods

Reputation …for the beauty of its woods...trails…nature center

“But a bunch of things are fishy. The path he takes in the woods, it doesn’t really lead to the log. So why does he end up there? He didn’t need to head toward the log to find a spot to pee, there so many other choices. And if you’re walking through brush and brambles, wouldn’t you sort of naturally avoid a big log you would need to step over? What they are trying to get at is, did you really just stumble on this body? Or were you looking for this body, because you already knew where it was?” How does Sarah Koenig’s treatment of the subject contribute to the tone?

Her use of rhetorical questions creates a skeptical tone

Her use of positive language creates a supportive tone

Her use of figurative language creates a mocking tone

Her use of informal language creates a relaxed tone

The detectives are able to get a subpoena for Adnan’s cell phone records because

They have sufficient evidence now that they have received a call from an anonymous male who tells them Adnan used to take Hae to Leakin Park and that a friend of Adnan would probably know something. The friend mentions something about dumping a car at a lake which is what the anonymous called also said.

They have sufficient evidence now that they have received a call from a Jay who tells them Adnan killed Hae.

They have sufficient evidence now that they have received a call from Jenn who tells them Jay told her Adnan killed Hae.

They have sufficient evidence now that they have received a call from an anonymous male who tells them Adnan used to take Hae to Leakin Park.

Which statement below is an opinion?

“Whoever made this call, he must be the key to the whole thing.”

“The results of that subpoena include a list of all the calls dialed and received on Adnan's phone on January 13, the day Hae disappeared.”

“If you look at that call log from January 13, there are thirty four calls that day.”

“It's not like there was some secret feud between Jay and Adnan…There was no drug deal gone wrong. Neither had bad mouthed the other or stolen the other's girlfriend.”

In Jenn’s statement, what motive did she supply the detectives?

Adnan said that Hae broke his heart

Adnan said that Hae cheated on him

Adnan said that it was an accident

Adnan said that he wanted to kill someone with is bare hands.

Jenn incriminates herself by confessing that…

She knew about the murder from Jay and helped Jay get rid of some evidence

She knew about the murder from Jay and helped Jay escape from Adnan

She knew about the murder from Jay and helped Jay form a story

She knew about the murder from Jay but refused to help him cover it up

What challenge does Adnan pose to Koenig as his way of proving that it would be impossible for the murder to occur between 2:15 and 2:36?

A challenge to map out the route in real time by visiting the school and timing the drive to Best Buy

A challenge to map out the route on Google maps and see the estimated time of arrival

A challenge to ask current students at Woodlawn High School how long it would take to leave the school parking lot

A challenge to ask past students how long it used to take to leave the school parking lot

What is Sarah Koenig’s main purpose in the following lines: “It does seem far fetched because there’s no room for any errors. Any pauses even. The buses, the drive, the strangulation. The moving of the body. The call. They all have to happen as quickly as they possibly can for the 2:36 call to work. But, it is possible. Or at least not impossible, which was what Adnan was saying in that first letter.”

to share with listeners her findings about the State’s timeline

to convince listeners to do additional research

to make listeners choose a side on a topic

to encourage listeners to analyze their personal opinions

"At trial, Adnan’s lawyer brings up this phone booth when she’s trying to attack Jay’s credibility. She says to the judge, “we believe that the physical description of the actuality of Best Buy, including the location of the phone booth at Best Buy, the entrance, the existence or non-existence of security cameras,” etc., she goes on." A better way to “attack Jay’s credibility” would have been to

Show logical evidence that there wasn’t a pay phone at Best Buy by posting a picture of the parking lot

Use ethical appeals to show that Jay has lied many times in the past about the call location

Show logical evidence that Jay didn’t know where Best Buy was located so he couldn’t have picked Adnan up

Use emotional appeals to show that Jay has lied many times in the past about the call location

Even though the cell phone records don’t plot out to match the timeline of Jay’s story, which is the main part of the call records that looks very incriminating for Adnan?

Adnan’s cellphone pings at Leakin Park

Adnan’s cellphone pings at Best Buy

Adnan’s cellphone pings at Hae’s house

Adnan’s cellphone pings at Woodlawn High School

The claim is that Adnan is guilty because there is an incriminating call on his phone that only he would make (not Jay). What is the most effective counterclaim?

Anyone can dial a number from someone else's phone if they have access.

Adnan was the only person who could have made that call to Nisha.

Butt dials are rare occurrences.

The evidence that Nisha received a call is junk science and not reliable.

The claim is that Adnan is guilty because his prints are on the map in Hae’s car. What is the most effective counterclaim?

Adnan had been in Hae’s car many times before and used the map.

Adnan had never been in Hae’s car before to use the map.

Palm prints are junk science and can’t be verified on the map.

Palm prints are as accurate as fingerprints, but the prints don’t belong to Adnan.

Truman Capote and Sarah Koening are similar in all ways except:

Both ended up falling in love with the people they interviewed

Both were journalists who reinvented the wheel of literature/journalism

Both interviewed accused criminals

Both were heavily criticized for their work in true crime journalism

Adnan tells Koenig about a similar case that involved a male named Justin Wolfe. In which ways are Adnan and Justin’s cases similar. SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

Like Adnan, people thought of Justin as a good kid even though he was hanging around some tougher types

Like Adnan’s lawyer, Justin’s lawyer was later found to be an ineffective lawyer

Like Adnan’s witness, Justin’s case had a witness that was never heard from

Like Adnan, Justin was a drug dealer

Like Adnan’s case, all accomplices served at least some jail time

Sarah Koenig’s main objective for bringing Deirdre Enright onto the podcast is to…

Add credibility to the “Adnan is innocent” theory by bringing in an expert lawyer who had found flaws in Justin Wolfe’s case.

Add credibility to the “Adnan is guilty” theory by bringing in an expert lawyer who can add to the insights about the things that incriminate Adnan.

Take away credibility of the original cellphone expert’s testimony by bringing in a different cellphone expert to review the records.

Take away credibility of Jay’s testimony by bringing in an expert who knows how to tell if people are lying.

By bringing in Deirdre Enright, her help has the potential to...

Add Logos to the case through scientific testing of DNA

Add Pathos to the case through her expertise

Add Pathos to the case through her optimistic and caring nature

Add Logos to the case through her observation that psychopaths are rare

The state’s case against Adnan Syed hinged on Jay’s credibility. Which tactic below was the best example of an Ethos appeal to the jury in regards to believing Jay’s story.

Stella Armstrong - He seemed like he was streetwise, can I-- I hope that’s the best way to put it. He seemed like he got around in the neighborhoods, or he was able to take care of himself. He reminded me of-- he would be that friend if you got in trouble you would call. You know what I mean? Say if I was back in high school and somebody was bothering me, he reminded me of somebody I would call to help me. Like if somebody was fighting me, or-- Sarah Koenig -So it was believable to you that he would be that guy for Adnan, like he would be the guy Adnan would turn to.

The Jay that Stella saw at trial, he was wearing a tie, sometimes a jacket. He’s handsome, he’s tall and thin.

That essentially was her defense. She uses the words “truth” and “lie” as often as possible in her cross-examination. There were many exchanges like this one. Gutierrez asks him, “and now your second interview on tape, that you were not telling the truth, were you not?” Jay says: I was not telling them everything, no.

It’s Baltimore. Half the jury is black, seven out of twelve actually. Jay probably comes off as a nice young man and this white lady is yelling at him.

The state’s case against Adnan Syed hinged on Jay’s credibility. Which tactic below was the best example of a Logos appeal to the jury in regards to believing Jay’s story.

Stella Armstrong Like I said, it’s been a while but I remember the one young man who was supposedly his friend, who had enabled him to move the body. That struck me that “why would you admit to doing something that drastic if you hadn’t done it?” You know what I mean? For what reason? What was he going to gain from that? He still had to go to jail.

Like if somebody was fighting me, or- Sarah Koenig So it was believable to you that he would be that guy for Adnan, like he would be the guy Adnan would turn to.

Sarah Koenig Gutierrez asks Jay about Best Buy. About how Jenn Pusateri told him there were security cameras in the parking lot and at the entrance. She puts it to Jay almost casually. Cristina Gutierrez You have us believe-- Cristina Gutierrez--that you had nothing to do with the death of Hae Lee, right?

It’s Baltimore. Half the jury is black, seven out of twelve actually. Jay probably comes off as a nice young man and this white lady is yelling at him.

“This is a kid who is about to be sentenced to life in prison. He knows that’s what’s about to happen. It’s the mandatory sentence for his conviction. That conviction, of course was for killing Hae, Krista’s good friend. In this pregnant, life changing moment, he’s writing a letter to Krista, about whether this photo he saw while flipping through a magazine looks like Hae.” What is the meaning of the word pregnant as is used in the passage?

He didn’t take the stand to testify

He hung out with the wrong people

"But at a hearing on Adnan’s bail status on March 31, 1999, she felt it. The courthouse that day was packed with people from Adnan’s mosque, The Islamic Society of Baltimore. They’d raised tens of thousands of dollars for his defense, they offered to put up their own houses and other properties to secure his bail."

Can you tell if a person is capable of evil based on their everyday actions?

Can you really tell who a person is by what others say about them?

Can you believe everything you hear?

When comparing and contrasting Don’s reaction to Adnan’s reaction when they both get the call from the police about Hae being missing, what are the similarities or differences?

Don immediately traced his whereabouts that day because he knew he would a suspect. Adnan didn’t even consider that he would be a suspect.

Don didn’t think anything of it because he figured she had gone to California. Adnan, however, freaked out and kept paging her to find out where she was.

Don immediately traced his whereabouts that day because he knew he would a suspect. Adnan did the same.
