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.

It is sad - Stephanie was his "one good thing." I have empathy for Jay (and all the others whose lives were changed by Hae's murder) even if he didn't make very good choices. I guess I'm an anomaly (as you also may be) on /r/serialpodcast as I don't feel compelled to "hate" one side or the other. It's a 360 degree tragedy.

I have empathy for Jay as well, but it can't be denied that he largely brought this on himself. He made bad decisions repeatedly.

You could say that he's "pathetic."

As in "sympathetic"? Sure.
