| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime. |
| 0:38.7 | From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record. Okay, happy Saturday. |
| 0:50.5 | Sarah Koenig in Serial sets up a false premise. |
| 0:52.4 | She asked the audience, how can a teenager remember six weeks ago on a normal day? |
| 1:05.6 | And I think that is one of the most dishonest things about cereal. |
| 1:13.9 | And today I'm going to explain why. |
| 1:21.9 | In about, I think I have about 20 points to make as to why it wasn't a normal day. |
| 1:25.9 | For one, it was the day before a huge snowstorm. |
| 1:34.2 | It was the day Adnan Syed's first girlfriend went missing, Heyman Lee. |
| 1:50.0 | Thirdly, it was the day that he lent out his car in his cell phone. It was the first full day he had with his cell phone. It was during Ramadan where he was fasting. That should help jog his memory. It was also his friend Stephanie's birthday. It was the day Jay picked him |

| 2:42.3 | It was an emotionally impactful day. And even Elizabeth Loftus, who is a memory expert and very defense friendly, would agree with me when I say that we remember things that have emotional impact. That's why we remember where we were on 9-11. We remember where we were when JFK got shot, had we been living then. |
| 3:14.1 | So it doesn't make sense. And despite an expensive defense team, they couldn't help Adnan |
| 3:23.7 | piece it together. |
| 3:27.3 | And despite two trials where you would think that |
| 3:31.2 | everything would be focused on getting Adnan, |
| 3:36.3 | Syed, an alibi. |
| 3:39.1 | No, no memory for that very ordinary day. |
| 3:48.6 | Adon didn't have a history of having memory problems. |
| 3:55.3 | No one else who knew the victim, Heyman Lee, says it was an ordinary day and who could |
| 4:03.3 | remember anything about it. Despite taking the time and the effort to show fellow inmates how to make barbecue sauce from ketchup, |
