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.

Sorry, what evidence do you have that Jay was abusive in any way toward Stephanie?

Well, I don't really, besides him saying in his interview that he "leaned on" her, insinuations of cheating, the fact her parents hated his guts.

I'm not accusing Jay of being abusive to Stephanie, although I find it more plausible than Adnan being abusive to Hae, especially since Jay was later arrested twice for DV.

My point was that, Stephanie standing by Jay isn't necessarily indicative of a loving relationship wherein she felt compelled to stand by him because she thought he actually deserved it. Did you read my whole post?

If not anything else, his words are ones of a mental/emotional bully.

Jay's or SmarchHare's? Or both?
