Perhaps he did it.
But I'll mention it again, and again, that if the burden of proof in a trial is proof beyond a reasonable doubt, I'm not sure how any reasonable person could believe that no reasonable doubt exists.
Oh i think reasonable doubt exists. I'm not saying I would have convicted him. But like that one person in today's podcast...he's either guilty, or the unluckiest man alive. Not saying it's impossible that he's innocent, but very improbable.
Here's what I feel:
Adnan doesn't have a real motive, and there are giant holes in his case that haven't been explained and probably never will be.
It seems very unlikely that Jay did this on his own and framed Adnan. That story has even bigger holes.
Jay almost certainly was involved in the murder, however. As we heard from his coworker today, Jay was freaking out about the cops coming to pick him up, and he was apparently afraid of Adnan. Was he setting Adnan up even then, to his coworker at a porn store? Wow, he's a criminal mastermind.
On the offchance that it was a serial killer or some other third party, we now have to believe that Jay's story was entirely coerced by the police and prosecution. We'd have to accuse the cops of essentially giving Jay the whole story, and information as to where the car is. Could of happened. Testimonies are coerced all the time. But to get him to completely make the whole thing up and stick to the story...
I was listening to a podcast on Grantland about serial the other day, and Chuck Klosterman made a great point: imagine that Adnan wasn't in prison. Imagine no one had been convicted, that this was a completely unsolved murder. If we had all these same information about the case, wouldn't we all be saying, it must have been that Adnan guy.
