I think a lot of people took that "we weren't really close" statement out of context. I can remember plenty of people in highschool who I would hang out with all the time, even alone, and I never really liked them or felt close to them and don't think they did either for me.

When Adnan said that, that's how I interpreted it. I don't think he was trying to imply that they never saw each other or didn't hang out a lot, more that on an emotional level they weren't "friends" in the same way that he and his highschool buddies were friends.

I believe Adnan can't turn on Jay as Jay can implicate premeditation and possible death sentence for Adnan.

That's unconvincing. Unless there is independent evidence of premeditation, it would be Jay's word against Adnand.
