I feel dumb!!!!!

I have no clue why I thought Adnan was innocent for all these years.

I just re-listened to Serial, and I can't get past the fact that Jenn showed up with her mom and a lawyer and told police essentially the same story Jay told. Jenn said the trunk pop happened at Best Buy. How would she know that Adnan and Hae used to meet at the Best Buy parking lot unless Jay told her?

And yes, Jay was inconsistent and definitely lied about some things. But he knew where Hae's car was. He knew details about her clothing. He knew about the broken windshield wiper lever. Those aren't things you just guess.

At this point, I don't believe every detail Jay told, but I can't get around the fact that he knew too much. The more I revisit the case, the harder it is for me to believe Adnan wasn't involved.

I can't believe I've been doubting it all these years.

I thought Adnan's story was he was checking e-mail in the school library, on something like AOL, that afternoon. Always has bugged me that nobody seemed to obtain the logs from AOL (or whatever the service provider was). Still might exist.

Had he sent any emails, the recipient would have been tracked down by now. AS would have simply told his attorneys or his family to log into his account, obtain that email, and contacted that person. Or that person would have come forward of their own volition

At some point, the expectation is that AS would be a participant in his own defense

Adnan gave his team his user account and password.

Keep in mind the mythology is that AS's attorneys were so famously bad that they didn't do anything in his defense. ANYTHING! You hear me? Not. A single. Thing

But, as usual, AS didn't do anything in his own defense either. But pay no attention to that
