And the guy says, no, no, no, terrible idea.
Don't say you're innocent.
And according to Adnan, the lawyer says, well, you can do it if you want, but you're just going to fuck yourself over.
So now Adnan is worried, and then another thing he hadn't anticipated, that Hay's mother was going to speak.
She'd been to the trial every day, I think.
Sometimes I glimpsed her in the videos, keeping perfectly still or doubled over or holding on to someone.
There's more than one bench conference during the trial in which they talk about her mother's crying being a possible distraction to the jury.
Her pain throughout must have been abject.
On this day, through a translator, Hye's mother speaks.
She tells the court about her daughter.
She tells the court about a Korean proverb that says when parents die, they're buried in the ground.
But when a child dies, you bury the child in your heart.
Quote, when I die, when I die, my daughter will die with me.
As long as I live, my daughter is buried in my heart.
I don't know where to hear her voice.
I don't know where to touch her hand.
I would like to forgive Adnan Syed.
But as of now, I just don't know how to do that.
