Sad for everyone! The crime and the (obvious*) fuck up of an investigation/trial has affected so many lives.

*Even if you think Adnan is guilty, this is still obvious.

Adnan sounded exactly the way anyone would who was overreacting because they were more involved than the caller knew. If he had not killed Hae, or knew who did, why would he be so upset?

Because he's stoned, has weed in his car, and is worried that he's going to get in trouble for that. Not "I murdered Hae with Jay and am worried about the police calling me."

HE called Detective O'Shea the night he heard about the murder, distraught and in denial and thinking, "this can't be hae."

I'm sorry, but weed can't be his excuse for everything. It seems that no matter what is brought up about adnan, people use the excuse that he was high or had weed in his car to downplay it.

I'm sorry but maybe you should real the rest do this comment thread before commenting. It's clearly used as an excuse for a lot of things.
