Notes

Is it ethical for sarah to report any of this?
Does she have consent to tell this story? Is it just? Sarah did have consent from Hae's family, and Adnan. I believe that Adnan saw this as a way to clear his name.
"for all the comments about Adnan manipulating me, I'm manipulating him too" - Sarah
Sara's worried about her podcast being taken seriously as a true crime, and only as an entertainment podcasts.
the ethics of podcast reporters are always iffy.

Cops: Bill Ritts, Greg magillaray. (Unknown spelling, look up spelling)
'Look at perspective' -
- Magillaray feels in his gut that Adnan is definitely guilty. Why?
- Mr. S is a known streaker, that's why his name is annonimes.
- Sarah is clear and without judgment for this case
- pointing out questions without asking any of her own
- she lets her doubts known
- she is curious about the story, and how Mr. S 'stumbled upon Hae's body'
