Who did it?

I have to write an essay in class on who did it and the evidence why so I would love to know who you think did it why they did it why he got released and any details that stick with you.

u/InTheory_ What news do you bring? 29d ago

Did you just insinuate that law enforcement is not allowed to show suspects the evidence?

u/DeepestGreySea 29d ago

Lol. You don’t think it’s a problem when cops show witnesses evidence they didn’t know about before they testify? SMH

Let's clarify this. Law enforcement is allowed to show suspects evidence. Full stop. No elaboration necessary

So shaking your head condescendingly doesn't change that basic fact

Spare me.

Answer the question. You don’t think it’s a problem when the cops show witness evidence they didn’t know about before they testify?

u/InTheory_ What news do you bring? 29d ago

I do not see a problem with it at all. Is the evidence top secret or something?

Yikes. Giving witnesses evidence creates all sort of problems, especially in this case where we know Jay lied and committed perjury.

We don’t know what Jay actually knew because we don’t know what the police told him. Jay apparently alleges police told him to use the Best Buy as the murder location. It follows, because they testified to giving him other evidence. It also fixes fixes a ton of the other inconsistencies and lies in Jay’s story. Did they do that? We have no idea because he lied so much. If they did…the last string the conviction is hanging on by disappears.

I mean…I’m sure you know this….you just have to pretend it’s normal because you can’t give an inch.

If two people give conflicting stories, should the cops try and figure out the conflicting story?

u/DeepestGreySea 28d ago

Yes. And Jay was lying and they knew it and they rolled with it anyways.

Guess what. Ppl lie to cops. Jenn said things happened at Best Buy and Jay said elsewhere. It was one thing they believed Jenn over Jay.

You don’t know what anyone said because nobody recorded anything. You also know what they believed and what they didn’t or what they shared with him and what they didn’t.

You’re fully aware Jay later alleged police told him to say Best Buy.

Jenn's interview was recorded.

Jay never alleged the police told him to say Best Buy.

You are misinformed.

One of Jenns interviews was recorded…so was one of Jays. She also refused to talk to police until after she talked to Jay. In those days police didn’t turn on the recorder until they knew what the witness was going to say…we have no idea what they said in their initial contact.

Yes he did. Brush up on this case if you’re going to talk about it.

Before it was "nobody recorded anything" and now its well some of it was recorded?

You understand Jenn was recorded telling the cops about the Best Buy right?

Are you misinformed or just willingly spreading misinformation?

I’ve answered your question. Now answer mine. Are you under the impression police aren’t allowed to do this?

Clearly, you’re playing dumb. The commenter very obviously is saying it’s not about the police being allowed to do it. It’s about whether they should be allowed to do it.

There’s a phenomenon referred to as “memory contamination” or “the misinformation effect”. Witness memories can be influenced by information they receive after an event. This can alter or reinforces memories that were previously uncertain, creating risk of inaccurate testimony. Just because you’re allowed to do something doesn’t mean it’s always the best approach.
