I listened to Serial, it was cool and all, but you've got to know that you don't have all the facts. The podcast was biased. I didn't really consider it valuable for anything except entertainment (definitely not as having evidentiary value). However, "the people" have latched on to this, and I worry that public opinion will hold more sway in this than the law and facts. I had thought he had already exhausted his appeals? I'm not familiar with Maryland law, but I had thought his opportunity to seek a new trial had passed.
