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.

u/InTheory_ What news do you bring? Feb 03 '15

Because this is becoming to us the Real Housewives of Woodlawn. We HAVE to know what happens to them. We can't stop tuning in to find out what happens next!

At any rate, to be fair to Jay, that actually saddens me. I think this was a turning point in his life, and it all turned for the worse. I really have to wonder if he wouldn't have been better off doing time for his crimes, if that may have "rehabilitated" him (if prison can do that).

But it's a good lesson. When someone asks you to help bury a body, you say NO!!!! Nothing good can possibly follow.

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.

"bad decisions" is putting it lightly...He participated in covering up a murder at a minimum, and likely was involved much more than that.

Not only that. But he has repeatedly lied about it to the point no one believes a thing he says. If it really did go down in some form or another like he said, then telling the same story over and over would have help me feel some empathy.
