It's a huge risk to open your client up to cross-examination and impeachment.

So there he was, mute, through two trials, about five weeks total, which is really hard for anyone.

I want to let Adnan talk now.

Not so much about what happened the day of the crime.

I feel like we've been over that already.

But just about what it was like to be him throughout this case.

What it's like now to be locked up for so long.

On the night of February 10th, 1999, Aisha had broken the terrible news to Krista about Hay's body being found.

Krista then called Adnan, who ran over to Aisha's.

She lived very close to Adnan.

And then Krista joined them there.

Stephanie came over too.

They all sat there at Aisha's kitchen table.

Crying.

Lots of people told the cops, and also told me, that Inan appeared to be in denial when they all first heard what had happened.

That he said things like, it's not her, they've got the wrong person, all Asian women look alike.

When Inan got arrested, Krista wrote down a chronology of everything she remembered from the previous six weeks.

Here's what she wrote about that night at Aisha's.

That's right.

Adnan called the Baltimore County Police Department to talk to Detective O'Shea.
