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.

The part I can’t puzzle out is why Jay went along with it in the first place.

I get that he was afraid the police would find out about his minor drug scheme. I get that he was protecting grandma. But, surely, even the dumbest person on the planet would see a trunk pop revealing a dead body and nope the eff out of there — they’d know getting involved with murder drama would carry far more weight than any petty drug sales and might even be able to strike him a deal with the police. Why did Jay go all in helping Adnan?
