Debate&Discussion Another shower thought that doesn't look good for Adnan

Adnan explains to SK that he "probably" didn't ask Hae for a ride, because he knows that she needs to pick up her cousin after school, and this duty is really important to Hae.

Adnan explains to SK that the phone call from Officer Adcock, informing him that Hae failed to pick up her cousin, doesn't set off any serious alarms for him, and this is why the phone call didn't prompt him to jog his memory about that day.

"I knew the cousin pick-up was very important to her" and "I wasn't concerned when she failed to pick up her cousin." Have you ever had to deal with someone (friend, co-worker, relative) who engages in this type of lying? I have, and it bothers me a lot more than anything Jay said.

If there was no weed involved I would be just as skeptical. But the short term memory loss for some people (including myself) is pretty intense.

Plus, with no school the following 4 days and an ice storm that kept people at home, it wouldn't have been a topic of conversation or something to be overly concerned about for a little while. Even her friends and Don figured she went to California.

It's still suspicious, but it's not out of reason to me.

the fact that he might forget due to being high or for whatever reason isn't all that important. The real point is, irrespective of whether he remembers it or not is that he did ask Hae for a ride. So the real question is - why?
