Adnan A Psychopath Analysis

While listening to episode eleven of the Serial podcast the rumors about Adnan were not connected to the crime. One specific rumor I have trouble with is the one about him stealing from the mosque. Adnan tells Sarah he stole from the mosque sometimes but not thousands of dollars like the person that started the rumor said. However, how does this relate to the crime, it is just a blow at Adnan’s character. If you say that because he stole money that makes him a murder, then every robber will commit a murder at some point and time.
These rumors only make my feelings toward Adnan being innocent more prominent. I do not believe that Adnan was a psychopath. However, anybody can snap and go off under the right circumstances. Adnan being the “golden
child” of the community might have been a reason to snap. He previously said that he would have continued stealing money if he was not caught by his parents. This makes me think that his “golden child” name might have been too much for him and he just wanted to rebel.
At this point in the Serial podcast I find myself flipping back and forth between Adnan being innocent or guilty. At times, I strongly believe he could not have possibly committed this crime. He was the golden child of the community how could he commit this horrible crime. Then there is so much evidence against Adnan that makes him sound so guilty. This case is an intriguing series, it keeps you interested, and always wondering.
