16. Paul Flores trial VERDICT, Adnan Syed is entirely free, plus spooky szn media recs

Wow, thanks so much for the listens on the last episode's recap of the Adnan Syed developments! This week we have even bigger headlines if possible; in the form of MAJOR news about the 4-month trial of Paul and Rubin Flores for the 1996 murder of Kristen Smart. Verdicts were read this week after two separate juries deliberated, and wow I thought this day would never come! And if that wasn't enough - Adnan Syed is a FULLY free man after the pending DNA results came back this week, pointing to two alternate suspects and causing the state to completely drop all charges against him in the killing  of Hae Min Lee. Will we have another trial soon? What's next for Adnan? All that and more. Finally, scumbag Harvey Weinstein heads to trial, part 2, on 11 counts of rape and assault. And we share some spooky snz-appropriate watches, reads, and listens for your weekend.
