“Adnan is out — on home detention for now, but out. Home,” she said, noting how the man whose case she covered somehow “just kept his cool” in court.that she “was shocked” that he was finally freed.“I did not see this coming at all.

The other was investigated also, but not with much vigor as far as I can tell. He’s now in prison for sexual assault,” she said.
Alarmingly, she said, “Adnan’s case contains just about every chronic problem our system can cough up.
