The point is that it's unfortunate that the best method we've figured out of coming to the truth is this antagonistic model where both sides simply plays the "game" as best as they can. Adnan didn't have a great coach or a star quarterback (or maybe he did have a great quarterback who happened to have a bad game), and as a result he may well spend the rest of his life in prison. And he's far from the only one, just the most public.

I don't know much about it, but fwiw France uses an 'inquisitorial' system where the judge drives the calling of witnesses and the like: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inqui..._system#France. It seems like it's only one stage of a process that also involves the adversarial system if the judge decides there's sufficient evidence. In the UK coroners' inquests (used to establish legal cause of death) follow a similar system, I think.

It's hard to imagine a system where we have people designed to prosecute cases who aren't incentivised to, err, get convictions, so I don't know how you solve the problem.

You lot put me onto Twitch and it's so addictive, my volume has been halved because of it.

Have you a link for the Pokercast Twitch stream?

Haven't finished the episode yet, but I loved the Serial intro. Especially since I just marathoned the whole show in the past 4 days.

Let us know about spoiler alert before serial talk. Heard about it thru 2p2pc and am just starting.

Great job overall, still my fave poker media material for 3 years

For those getting caught up on Serial (as I've mostly done in the week following this episode), here's a video that shows the geography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB7AcboDMfs

After the Bart Hanson strategy minute thing, there was like a seriously quiet voice talking about raising raising and raising or something. I could hardly hear it. Hopefully that isn't a regular new ad. Even if the sound was normal, it would have been horrible from what I could pick up.

I have listened to all the Serial episodes, so I decided to get back and listened to the intro (since it made no sense to me first time around).
Amazing spoof!
Especially the impression of the defence laywer.
Good stuff!

After finally getting into Serial and listening to the first 5 episodes, I went back to listen to the open. Very well done! Now I appreciate it.
