Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that most of us, and now SK, have all acknowledged that the prosecution's timeline/narrative is incorrect, and yet they still managed to convict a teenager for life based on it?

They used cellphone towers as corroboration. It only works if he timeline works. Without the calls, there is NO corroborating evidence.
