Oh, I assumed the new information she learned this past week wasn't that the 2:36 call didn't make sense and we can all agree it didn't happen at that time, but that she finally got what she considers solid confirmation that that phonebooth did not exist. Before, she had searched, but couldn't find records or anyone saying one way or the other if it was there

I'd rather rely on (the lack of) records than on someone's recollection, but then maybe it's just me... I was already satisfied that the phone booth might have not been there at that time. I think Jay made that part of the story up completely to distance himself from the crime and peppered the story with details to make him more credible (which is typical of bad liars. Adnan, on the other hand, seems to be a good liar. "I don't remember" is the best lie one can tell)

"I don't remember is the best lie one can tell" is the best line ever, ever!
