    Adnan Syed

    The case of Adnan Syed, a man convicted of murdering Hae Min Lee in 1999, has become a hot-button issue recently thanks to the popularity of a podcast called “Serial”. This podcast followed investigative reporter Sarah Koenig as she went over clues, witnesses, and evidence from the nearly 20-year-old case. While Koenig left the conclusion open-ended, many listeners developed staunch views on both ends of the spectrum. Although it’s not likely that the truth will ever be revealed, one thing is certain, Adnan Syed should never have been convicted. Despite the woefully inept lawyer, there was still a massive amount of doubt surrounding the case and Adnan's guilt.…

    Sasha Banks Case

    The perspective Sasha Banks and Bayley share on their chosen form of performance is what allows them to tell such believable and rewarding sports-stories. Their language is the language of the professional wrestling fan; the language of the past and the language of the future. When the Sasha Banks character jumps through the ropes to the outside, she's not doing it to pop the crowd. She's doing it because an opportunity to best her opponent has presented itself. The main roster misses the purity of that perspective; treating pro-wrestling like a shoot, respecting it and creating a consistent sport-centered story from first to the final bell.…
