I was 50/50 after the podcast but Jay's interview after the podcast heavily swayed me towards Adnan's guilt.

Jay was't a suspect, but definitely knew about it and where the body was.

He gave conflicting testimony to the police because he was dealing drugs out of his grandmother's house and didn't want himself or his family in prison. (Using these hostile testimonies to undermine the official one entered in court is very misleading) But he had no reason to continue lying after all these years.



I don’t remember whether Jay had an alibi. Did he? One question I always had is why he was not a suspect.


I’ve always had that as a question as well. I never remember hearing an alibi or why he wasn’t a suspect.


Then again, it is most often the boyfriend. I think when I initially listened to Serial I didn't realize that fact to quite the degree I know it now. That doesn't make him legally guilty, but it does seem to be the Bayesian center of likelihood.


She had a different boyfriend when she was murdered, so by your logic shouldn't it be Clinedinst in prison and Syed free?


Well, that's a pretty extreme interpretation of what I said. It's just one piece of bayesian evidence, not a 100% determiner. Are there any witnesses who claim that this other individual killed her? Because there is one for Adnan. Also, it seems like a recent ex is probably more dangerous than a new lover.


Isn't there a rather large, obvious reason for Jay to continue lying after all these years?
