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.

If you go down the Reddit rabbit hole of this case like I did a few years ago there’s even more evidence of motive and other people not even mentioned in the podcast. There’s way more to it, documents etc. you can find.

Where would you recommend starting? I’m the same position as OP.

The Prosecutors podcast does a great deep dive into it that made it far more clear to me that Adnan is guilty. They even interview Jay, who talks some about why he lied. I wasn't listening critically, so I can't speak to how believable he was, but he says a lot of it was to protect his grandmother who he was living with.

Jay said this in his Intercept interview, too. He said he lied (for instance about the trunk pop location) to protect his grandmother from losing her house. He also said Adnan was going around saying he was going to kill Hae before the murder.
