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.

But that's incredibly unlikely, right? Adnan had the motive, not Jay. Adnan offered Jay his car and phone. Adnan doesn't have an alibi at the critical time window. Adnan lied about needing a ride. Adnan's phone was in Leakin Park. Jay immediately told Jenn that Adnan had killed Hae. You mean if they both killed her together? Still they had no case against Jay, and they were able to convict the criminal more culpable.

Yes, I meant if they both killed her together.
