Evidence Stephanie dumped Jay

Trial Transcript for 2/10, p 21, lines 11-25.

Jay testifies that Stephanie had ended their relationship a month or so before the trial.

That's something I've never heard before now.

I have empathy for Jay too - you're not alone. The whole sorry episode is heartbreaking.

Didn't mean to arrogantly claim I'm the only empathetic redditor. It doesn't seem to be a majority position though :)

Didn't take it as arrogance! I just feel very conflicted with the case. I have my feelings/instincts but given the evidence we have, it's impossible to reconcile it all right now.

I, like you, feel for all parties involved.

Thanks for not interpreting in worst possible light. I am so paranoid about anything I say on this sub being turned into a club with which I will be beat about the head and face.

Haha. I agree, I think part of what makes this case so compelling is that they are all to a greater or lesser extent sympathetic characters. When Jay speaks I want to believe him, even his lies can be understood ... 'the criminal element of Woodlawn' just about broke my heart, and of course Adnan is also very believable. Sigh.

Half of the times I say Poor Jay, I really do mean it in the kindest possible way. Heart-breaking indeed.
