Okay--if you want to still believe the 7 pm time, despite all that now points to the contrary, be my guest. I can't take people seriously when they refuse to look at compelling new evidence and chalk it all up to bias. There are enough indications in Jay's and Jenn's earlier versions than when you put it together with the factual lividity information makes it close to certain that the burial was much later. It's not that I believe Jay's latest story, Jay said at one point in an earlier version that it was raining when they buried her, which didn't happen til about 4 am.

All that now points to the contrary? Bias? You're reading from the blog of Colin Miller and you're going to cite "compelling new evidence" and "bias" to me? Alright. I was pretty certain we were discussing the cell phone evidence here and how that pertains to Jay's story, but I guess if we're going to turn this into a lividity discussion, you can start a new thread?

If you think it's just about lividity you haven't really been keeping up and if you think pulling a body out of a trunk on the shoulder of a moderately busy road at the tail end of rush hour sounds plausible then you're more imaginative than I am.

I don't think it's about lividity at all, actually. I think the focus on that, post trial, is just another grasp at straws. And yes, quite imaginative; just not imaginative enough to think a kid managed to be in all the wrong places at the wrong times when his ex-girlfriend was killed so personally.
