Sarah Koenig investigates rumors from Adnan Syed's mosque community, including claims he stole donation money. While some saw this as evidence of duplicity, Adnan admits to taking small amounts as a youth, and most friends and community members do not see this as indicative of murder. A forensic psychologist explains that most killers are ordinary people who kill impulsively, not through premeditation, and that about half experience some degree of amnesia during the act. The psychologist also assesses Adnan for psychopathy, concluding he doesn't fit the profile due to his maintained relationships and lack of antisocial behavior. Koenig concludes she doesn't think Adnan is a psychopath, leaving possibilities like amnesia, anger, or innocence open. Adnan himself explains his refusal to express anger, fearing it could harm his legal standing, and writes about his struggle to be seen as a person, not a monster.
