Another guy does lunch.

Membership has its privileges.

Banana French toast, also hot cereal with peaches and raisins.

For lunch, cheese steaks.

The other 1,500 guys they cook for got the normal menu, boiled eggs and bologna.

Adnan lives in a cell by himself.

He's got TV.

And if he's getting in fights or seeing horrible things, he's not telling me about it.

All the stuff he tells me about is, at worst, PG-13.

He told me, I have a life.

It's not the life I planned or imagined, but I have a life.

Despite the Nisha call, despite the Leakin Park cell tower evidence, despite Jay knowing where Hay's car was, I confess to having reasonable doubt about whether Adnan killed Hay.

I'm not talking about the courtroom kind.

I'm talking about the normal person kind.

Obviously, a trial isn't built to hold the stories Adnan or anyone tells about his life.

So his lawyer, Cristina Gutierrez, had to figure out another way to encourage reasonable doubt.

Why didn't it work?

Next time on Serial, which will not come out next week.

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, so we are taking a week off.

Our next episode, episode 10, will come out December 4th.
