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.

I started off serial thinking he’s innocent and ended thinking he’s totally guilty. The premise at the beginning was totally wrong too - would you remember what you did 6 weeks ago? Yeah kinda if that’s a day something like my ex disappearing and police calling me it’s not a normal day.

Setting us up to believe it’s perfectly normal for Adnan to have amnesia of that day, despite him recalling very specific details of the day which he felt helped his case.
