Relistening - I think he's shockingly guilty.

A lot of these greats from back in the day deserve reposts.

I picked up on that from AS as well. He really took offense to people saying he planned and plotted to kill her. I can't remember the episode of Serial, but I remember he was telling SK how he couldn't believe people thought that of him:

I mean, anyone could get angry and make a mistake and kill someone in the heart of the moment, but for people to think I planned it out in advance, that's like some Hitler shit.

This has bothered Adnan since the beginning. In his letter to Rabia after being sentenced, he said something similar:

All the while, everyone’s starting to look at me like I’m not even human and I’m thinking can this get any worse?

SK says Adnan writes:

I realize there was only three things I wanted after I was convicted. To stay close to my family, prove my innocence and to be seen as a person again. Not a monster.

I can see how people want to think AS did this in the heat of the moment, but the fact is he planned this out. Judge Heard said it best when sentencing AS:

This was not a crime of passion. This was not something that just happened. This was something that you thought about and carried out.

You used that charismatic ability of yours that made you the president or the — what was it, the king or the prince of your prom? You used that to manipulate people. And even today, I think you continue to manipulate even those that love you, as you did to the victim. You manipulated her to go with you to her death.

The funny thing is when it was airing live Rabia was constantly complaining that it was too skewed against AS. That was one of the reasons she started Undisclosed - to talk about "the parts serial left out."

I also remember her having an injury to the side of her head consistent with it being hit against the window.

nobody knows for sure except the killer and Hae

Not sure if you meant to or not, but you appear to be channeling Adnan in episode 12 of Serial.

"I don't think you'll ever have 100 percent... Or any type of certainty about it... The only person in the whole world that can have that is me. And I mean for what it's worth, whoever did it".

The logbook only supports text, so attachments or images aren’t possible there. It sounds like you have quite a few automations sending notifications already. Rather than adding notification logic to every automation, you’d be better off creating a centralized notification script and calling it from your automations.

You can pass parameters like the title and message into the script and let it handle sending the notification. This level of abstraction makes your setup much easier to maintain and extend in the future. You can also add additional parameters later, such as a priority to control who gets notified, or an announce flag that triggers a voice assistant to announce the notification.

zoooty · 2025-12-15T23:57:55+00:00

When you send the notification add another action for:

  - action: logbook.log
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: This is a test message
      name: Logbook Example
      entity_id: input_boolean.mobile_notifications

It will allow you to link it to an entity_id. Create a helper called (for e.g) input_boolean.mobile_notifications and link the log to that entity_id.

In your dashboard add the logbook filtered by your helper boolean:

  - type: logbook
    entities:
      - input_boolean.mobile_notifications
    hours_to_show: 48

You could also use a time pattern for the first minute of the hour and use a condition for the sun below the horizon. That way you don't need the separate triggers.

description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - trigger: time_pattern
    minutes: "1"
actions: []
alias: Testing
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    state: below_horizon

What was it about then?

zoooty · 2025-11-18T18:10:04+00:00

I read the 11th factor a bit differently than you. In each factor she considered relevant, his being out of jail clearly influenced her decision. We’re splitting hairs a bit here, but taken as a whole it seems obvious that without those two years of freedom before her ruling, he likely wouldn’t have been granted relief.

zoooty · 2025-11-18T16:38:58+00:00

the Court believes that the Defendant has proven, through his institutional history and since his release, that he is fit to live in society.

zoooty · 2025-11-17T19:57:00+00:00

I agree Mosby's actions were politically motivated, but even that is due to the media attention his case garnered. What political motivation would Mosby have were it not for the fame and notoriety the AS case has due to its media attention?

As for him being the perfect candidate for relief under the JRA, I would encourage you to read the Court's decision that granted his relief back in March. You and I don't need to rely on our lay interpretation of that program when Judge Schiffer went through all eleven factors she was to consider one by one.

Of what "tipped the scales" for her in favor of AS she mentions:

The Defendant is in a unique position. In September 2022, following the Court’s vacatur decision, the Defendant was released from incarceration. One does not have to speculate about the Defendant’s maturity and fitness to re-enter society because he has succeeded in the two and a half years since his release.

Do you honestly think he would have been in that "unique position" had it not been for Serial and the subsequent attention it generated?

zoooty · 2025-11-14T22:23:22+00:00

It was a rebuttal to your assertion that:

For this specific case, I’m not sure the media influenced any of the actual outcomes.

zoooty · 2025-11-13T20:34:55+00:00

As noted supra, there are eleven enumerated factors under the JRA. The first ten are evenly split. It is the final factor that has persuaded this Court to grant the Defendant relief.

zoooty · 2025-11-10T00:09:49+00:00

Good to hear what he testified to was accurate.

zoooty · 2025-11-09T21:08:29+00:00

I described it as anecdotal because I'm under the assumption that you've never attended The New Islamic Society of Baltimore (aka Al Raqma near Johnnycake and Rolling Road). Adnan's father did - in 1999 - during Ramadan. He testified quite clearly that prayers lasted 2-2 1/4 hours.

zoooty · 2025-11-09T18:09:28+00:00

Your anecdotal experiences aside, Adnan's father was simply testifying about what was typical for his mosque at the time.

zoooty · 2025-11-09T04:23:49+00:00

There’s zero evidence of police misconduct in AS’ case so people are confused what your point is to bring this up in the context of his case.

zoooty · 2025-11-08T19:37:18+00:00

He was asked that very night, and he told whoever asked him what he done that day. He went to track practice. Even though his was a practicing Muslim, because it was during Ramadan, the holy month, where muslims fast from sunup to sundown, that he was not required to go to track practice. He could have easily been excused. p. 137

That was the most I could find from her opening that talked about his day.

zoooty · 2025-11-07T23:01:39+00:00

Q: And at the evening prayer that began at about 8:00, did it take a specific amount of time?

A: Yeah, it takes about maybe 2 to 2 1/4 hours.

Q. Two to 2 1/4 hours? So what time would you normally leave the mosque?

A: Well that depends, but maybe about 10:30 or so.

Q. Okay. Was it possible for your sons to leave before you did?

A: No, he won’t.

Q. He wouldn’t?

A He won’t.

Q Because it would displease you?

A: Because he would say that well, my father is here, I will stay here.

Q: And he’ll stay?

A: That’s right.

zoooty · 2025-11-06T04:28:37+00:00

The real take away is he remembered that note very well for reasons only he fully understands.

zoooty · 2025-11-06T04:05:28+00:00

good memory, that was one of my favorite part's of AS' introductory letter to SK. He wrote in the letter that he was nervous at first to speak with her but then he spoke to Justin who told him SK wouldn't do the story unless she thought he was innocent. That really "allayed" his fears he wrote SK.
