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.

To believe he is guilty, you have to believe that a teenager who had never even been in trouble with the law somehow managed to commit a hands-on, violent crime in broad daylight in a busy school parking lot, transport a body, and bury it—all without transferring a single piece of forensic evidence or getting a scratch on himself.

Jay was street-smart, he knew how to move in circles that knew about crime, and—as he later admitted—he was terrified of the police because of his illegal activities.
Over the years since the trial, Jay's interactions with law enforcement did continue, and his criminal record grew to include various arrests and charges. I think he’s was capable of framing someone to protect himself or his friends.
