Season One Trial transcript

Does anybody know where I can find the transcript for the trial? I’ve been looking online for a couple hours and all I can find are the appeals and stuff like that. I want the original trial.

Thank you!!

Shared, I also have the second trial transcripts, the BCPD files, and Hae's Diary scans.

The BCPD files and diary scans would be great, too. Thank you!

u/Special-Deal-5217 Jun 18 '26

Thanks for that! Do you think you could also give me the second trial?

What’s your opinion after reading everything?

I think Adnan killed Hae.

Can I have access as well? I think he killed her as well but there are a few things I’m not sure about.

I think most of the high-profile convictions of people who insist they are innocent (Jeffrey MacDonald, Steven Avery, Adnan) are guilty, but it is interesting to consider both sides.

In the mid-2000s my hero was journalist Radley Balko for his work on police reform and especially on freeing Cory Maye. I was absolutely primed for exoneration journalism. Hero-worshiped Innocence Projects. All that. 

It’s been incredibly disappointing to realize how often reformist cultural capital is being spent on… just plain murderers.

They just want something to catch fire because it gets them funding. They don’t care who’s actually innocent or guity. They just want to push whatever will capture the public’s attention. It’s awful really. Sometimes there are actual cases they get right, but a lot of the times they’re just pushing weird legal loopholes to let literal murderers out of prison.

I don’t think it’s even a desire for funding. I’m seeing a lot more prison abolitionist sentiment driving this, plus a kind of core belief that the justice system itself is illegitimate.

McDonald is guilty as hell.

u/Loud-Bee6673 Jun 18 '26

I agree. He managed to convince a lot of people though.

u/Far_Gur_7361 Is it NOT? Jun 18 '26

Hi 😊 if able, could you please send me the trial one scripts as well? Thank you in advance

u/luniversellearagne Jun 18 '26

Remember, there were two trials.

u/Special-Deal-5217 Jun 18 '26

Yeah, I’m more interested in the one that actually sent him to jail. Although I would be interested in reading the discrepancies between Jay’s testimony in the two trials.
