What Is the Deal With Jay? We Discuss the Latest Episode of Serial.
Serial is investigating the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, a Baltimore area high school student, and here at Slate we are following the story closely, discussing each new episode as it appears. This week, David Haglund and Katy Waldman are joined by Jami Floyd, a defense attorney turned legal analyst for radio and television who describes listening to Serial in three distinct ways: with her “lawyer brain,” with her journalist brain, and as someone who is simply riveted by the story.
