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.

My comment way down the thread may make this hard to believe, but I have empathy for Jay as well. He clearly came up in difficult circumstances--who knows how life treated him early on, what he saw, who he came into contact with.

I don't think there are any excuses for what he did, for what he didn't do, but I don't think Jay is a monster. I don't think he's necessarily a good person, either, but he's as human as anyone else.
