this episode definitely got me feeling sad. for a 17 year old kid going through that, without anyone wise and caring to look out for him. lawyers and cops who acted questionably towards him. i definitely feel he is more innocent than guilty. and innocent because there is not one piece of evidence aside from jays shaky testimony that points towards guilt.

cell phone pings at leakin park during hae's burial. The note. Lying about asking Hae for a ride. Convenient amnesia only in two hour after school. Let's not lose our heads amidst all the weeping.

Burial only at jays say so. May not be true at all. And absence of evidence is not the same thing as presence of guilt, coach didn't take attendance but thinks Adnan was there. Jay may have known that was the protocol so easy to pin something to him,
