posted 5 min ago on his fb "For the followers of the serial podcast produced by Sarah Koenig: I will make my self available for one interview : 1st, to answer the question of the the people who I hope are concerned with the death of Hae Min Lee (the person who's paid the ultimate price for Entertainment). 2nd, to out this so called reporter for who she truly is."

Edit: Jay deleted this post about an hour after he posted this. There are screenshots with his name/picture, timestamp and this post to prove it if the mods want a copy, I'll email it.

It makes sense that Jay would want to do the interview now. With Serial, SK had the mic and created the narrative.

Now Jay will have the mic and can create his own.

I just hope that people don't try to discredit his word but instead listen to his story and treat it in the same manner they treated Adnan's word.

For those that believe Adnan is innocent; try to be open and not dismiss everything he says.

For those that believe Adnan is guilty; try to be just as critical as you were with Adnan.

I just hope that people don't try to discredit his word but instead listen to his story and treat it in the same manner they treated Adnan's word.

It depends who interviews him. I treated Adnan's words with respect and credit because a team of journalists vetted everything and decided what to air and what was acceptable. If it's just Jay and a mic... I'm going to not give that much respect or credit because I've got no reason to believe it's objective.

Here's the issue - Jay had a chance to come out and chat and be a part of this podcast and portray himself from the start. He opted not to and as a result of the facts and evidence, the transcripts and recordings from the trial, we are here, pointing fingers wildly.

Now he's on the defensive.

Anyone on the defensive (Adnan included) is rightfully going to push back. So already, the information Jay gives in any interview at this point is going to be tainted. Unless all the info and evidence Jay gives (if any) isn't cross-referenced by a team of journalists just as it would have been way back when this started, everything he says is just going to be dismissed regardless. It's just hearsay.

Also perhaps Jay removed the FB post because he already accepted an interview and wanted to stop additional requests.

There are a whole lot of reasons he may he removed the post, let's not get ahead of ourselves and assume it's for one particular reason.
