Summary

The crime writers give their take on part 1 of HBO's "The Case Against Adnan Syed." Like the movie version of a favorite book, the episode covers the story of Adnan and Hae's high school relationship, but adds to it in a way "Serial" did not. Note: this episode was recorded before Friday's decision in the case by the MD Court of Appeals. TO REMAIN SPOILER-FREE FOR EPISODE ONE, GO TO MINUTE 40. Then the panel wrestles with HBO's two-part "Leaving Neverland." The documentary - told simply and starkly - is the most powerful indictment of Michael Jackson's systematic abuse of star-struck children and their families. (Warning: discussion of this documentary may be triggering for some audience members.) TO REMAIN SPOILER-FREE FOR LEAVING NEVERLAND, GO TO MINUTE 69. In Crime of the Week: how the cookie crumbles.
