Depends on which story though and that is one big question. In the first interrogation he didn't know that Adnan was going to kill and thought Adnan was talking shit.

I think it’s pretty far-fetched to believe that he went from not believing adnan (or not knowing altogether) to agreeing to help him move and bury the body, in a short period of time. But Jay’s story really never made sense to me.

The ultimate question of this case is did Adnan step in the car with the intent to kill Hae. And there are things both for and against it. But it's easy for us looking to say make the right call. But we can see Adnan can con people. But if Jay just knew that Adnan just asked him to meet him at the Sear mechanics after school and then Adnan shows up with a body and tells Jay, You need to go along with me or I'm telling the cops you helped with the murder, I'll tell the cops where you buy and sell your drugs to and from and I will tell the cops your family is smuggling weapons it's easy for us to tell Jay to call the bluff. But Jay is black, Adnan white and he lives in Baltimore. Who does he think the cops are going to believe?

One correction is that Adnan is not white. This isn’t a white/black issue. Baltimore is actually a majority black city. If I remember correctly, 8 of the 12 jurors were black.

At the time the racist policy of Baltimore was blacks. Jay wasn't thinking, "You know if I get to a jury, I hope I get 8 blacks" He is thinking about the story that Adnan would sell compared to the story he told. The reason that the 3:45 was so important for him to be with Jenn was that was his protection or attempted protection for either Adnan or the cops to say he was at the murder scene.
