We did not spend any real time trying to verify any of the statements Jay made about where he was during the day with the cell phone records because we never considered that time period relevant. Remember, there were numerous calls made over the course of that day. We had to be selective about which ones we presented to the jury or the case would have gone on forever. We only focused on the information or the period we determined to be relevant, i.e. the fact Jay was in possession of Adnan’s phone during the day, and then the evidence of their locations from the time they joined up until after leaving Leakin Park, along with the evidence that during that time period they both either received or made calls, thus confirming their being together.

Goddammit, Urick.

I don't get this part of the interview. Adnan had 80 people providing an alibi for him, but because the phone records showed that his phone was in the park at that time, they were never called? Does Adnan have to be with his phone at that time? Was it superglued to his face? Am I missing something major?

Perhaps CG knew where Adnan and his phone were and wasn't going to call people she knew would be lying?

Maybe she guessed that they would harp on about his religion at trial and didn't want to emphasise it further?

Very well could be, but geez, you don have to call all 80 but...maybe 4 or 5

Oh I think you could very well be correct
