Episode eight was a very interesting episode so far. Especially when it came to finding out if Jay lied or if he was given a deal by the police. I appreciated that Sarah went to a professional Detective that seeks out if there has been any lies or false confessions during the trial. The detective believes that this case was one of the best he’s seen so far but there are definitely inconsistencies and consistencies that may point to a bigger picture. Supposedly Jay is giving information to the police so that it fits a perfect case. Before I had listened to this podcast, I felt that Jay might have been given a plea deal or that he was helping the cops with half truths or lies. It was also interesting how Jay is portrayed as goofy and scary by others that know him.
In episode nine, Sarah talks about a little bit about the payphone that detectives stated Jay used. The payphone was supposed to be in front of Best Buy. However, when Sarah talked to Summer about where the payphone was located, Summer said there isn’t one in front of Best Buy at all. Iesha also talked to Sarah and told her that she had talked to Adnan. All of this information trumps the idea that the murder happened at around 2:30. I liked that this information was presented because it gives another possibility as to what may have happened to Hae. Throughout the rest of the podcast Adnan tells Sarah about his life in prison. Its apparent that Adnan is using his faith to sustain him throughout his sentence. I believe that that could explain why Adnan is not angry about being convicted of a crime that he claims to not have done.
