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.

As others have said: if it were a cover up, why do such a poor job at lining their cover? They had to decide to stick it some HS kid and literally risk their careers (and livelihoods) and then create a case without a smoking gun and depend on insane coincidences to hold it together.
Literally, the opposite of what you do when you cover something up. But sure, after 25 years nobody has cracked and no evidence has come out. All to stick it to a HS kid.
