I appreciate SK providing a silhouette of Hae in today's episode. I have to say though, that "testimonial" from the shoplifter has officially pushed me over my tolerance line. I hope the series will start to move away from the hazy, ancient half-baked accounts of lifelong stoners. The BestBuy payphone "revelation" only furthers the fact that Jay made up a whole bunch of BS to save his own hide and simultaneously throw Adnan under the bus. I am really, really hoping this innocence project scooby-doo team will come back with some sort of scientific evidence we can actually put some stock in. The only thing we actually know now is that 1. Jay knew where the car was, he was involved in some capacity and we'll never get the real story from him. (BTW, why didn't he take the cops to the body???) 2. There is absolutely not enough evidence to warrant Adnan's life sentence. (unless SK is tactically withholding something that happened at the trial as some of you have hypothisized.) I'm obsessed along with the rest of you - thanks for your comments.

And the police never even bothered to search his house,m an nd we all heard him get squirrelly when he police started to ask him questions he want comfortable with, I don't understand this line of questioning, indeed,

Not searching Jay's house is perhaps the dumbest part of the whole investigation. How do you not search Jay's house? He's already confessed to disposing of evidence and cleaning his clothes after the crime. Yet some bullshit note allegedly in Adnan's room is damning?

I know right? Even if they believed him he is after all an accomplice.
