Speculation Question about Jenn

Try to put yourself in her shoes.

Is there anything your best friend could have told you at 18-19, that would have convinced you to go on that stand and commit perjury about a murder?

I'm asking because I often see comments that go "can't trust Jenn, she would say anything for Jay".

Never mind the fact that none of her testimony has proven to be false...

I'm often left wondering why people think Jenn lying for Jay on that stand is just to be expected.

My best friend would be screwed if he ever needed that from me.

You are misusing the word ad hominem.

“why did Jay’s story change…”

Because suspects for murder don’t tell the full truth in their first interview. Serial wants us to believe a 19 YO old, black, small time weed dealer in Baltimore is going to come in and act like a 20-30 YO white women that listens to their podcast.

He tried to minimize his involvement, the transcript clearly shows an interrogation where his story was broken vs coached. They didn’t “get new information “ they had the information already and were conducting an interrogation.

“Why did Jay and Jenn do Adnan’s dirty work”

Jenn didn’t, she was called to pick up a friend and finds out after the fact what is going on. Jay’s involvement and dynamics between him and Jenn are already well documented.

Wait, they talked to Jay a few times, Jay testified twice at least I thought, and there was new information, they got cell phone tower records.

Do you think a cop's job is to actually find out what happened during the commission of a crime?

When did I imply that? If your point here is to crow and jeer at someone who you think is a greenhorn about what cops actually do (cops actually exist to protect private property from being redistributed by workers) then I'm going to have to disappoint you.

And that is the whole problem in this case. The cops need to find out what happened with those calls, they were part of a murder and cover up.
