Adnan Syed's Bail Motion, Sarah Koenig's Serial Choices, Offshore's Big Splash

Published: Oct. 28, 2016, 3:24 a.m.

b'Heads up Baltimore City Court! Here comes Adnan Syed seeking a bail hearing. It\'s not your usual motion, written more like a campaign speech than a legal brief. \\n\\nThe Crime Writers dig into the latest in the efforts of Serial\'s protagonist to get out of prison now that his conviction has been vacated. \\n\\nAnd a journalism conundrum: IF Sarah Koenig knew about Jay Wild\'s post-Adnan criminal history, should she have included it in Serial?\\n\\nAlso, the panel hangs ten in Hawaii with the new podcast, "Offshore" from Honolulu Civil Beat and PRX. Can a white reporter do justice to a tale of Hawaiian culture and disenfranchisement? \\n\\nRelated: Toby recommends reading this article from the New Yorker, "The American Raj," to learn more about Hawaiian history.\\n\\nIn our Crime of the Week, the panel shakes the tree. But who goes undercover as a tree, anyway? (Kevin reported on a similar bank robbery story in NH. Watch the version filed by his colleagues.)\\n\\nPlus: mystery solved! Who bought the family-sized bucket of massage lotion? We finally know. Finally.\\n\\nThis week\'s sponsors are:\\n\\nthegrommet.com/crimewriters\\n\\nmadison-reed.com (promo code "writers")\\n\\nClick here to get the Crime Writers On After Show, plus more exclusive content, on Patreon.: https://patreon.com/partnersincrimemedia'
