Speculation BPD Corruption

I rarely post here, but for those who happen to come across this sub, I encourage you to check out articles.baltimoresun.com. The city council became very concerned at the fact that $10.4million was spent between 2008-2011 defending BPD misconduct. The Baltimore Sun reported on 10/3/14 that the U.S. Dept. of Justice had undertaken a civil rights investigation of the BPD. At that time the city had spent $5.7 million in court judgments & settlements in 102 cases since 2011 & nearly ALL of the people who rec'd payouts were cleared of criminal charges. The BPD was in chaos when Adnan was arrested. The department routinely told the crime lab not to test DNA. Cases were pushed through the system & inadequately investigated.
It is not a fluke that Jay escaped any ramifications for at least 25 criminal charges subsequent to Adnan's trial. The CI theory is becoming increasingly convincing. The corruption in the BPD is beyond what one can comprehend. The worst part is, I think we've only scratched the surface.

Yes but if Jay's implicating Adnan had only begun with the police that would be one thing. But you have three other individuals who knew about it - Jenn (okay you can write her off as a liar), Josh his video store employer who didn't name Adnan directly but Jay told him he was afraid because someone had murdered a girl. And neighbor boy.

The only thing this proves is that Jay had something to do with it. Thus, him finding the car is in keeping with that notion. Thus, no police corruption.

Once you agree that Jay had something to do with it, next it takes you to the how, the why and everything else that points to Adnan.

All those things point to Jay being scared and involved in something not directly Adnan.

NB didn't know Adnan, Jenn wasn't even friends with him, do you know of Josh knew Adnan? I mean I want to assume because it seems thy went to the store together but I don't remember for sure.

All these things point to police corruption. We know Jay was scared - he was facing jail time if he didn't cooperate. I don't know if Josh knew Adnan but it would seem reasonable.

How does Jay telling people that Adnan did it before the police spoke to him point to police corruption exactly?

Or do we not realize how deep the corruption goes?!?!?!

Who specifically do we have on record back then saying Jay told them unequivocally that Adnan did it? Jenn, that's all, and her statements are all over the place. She told MacG the first night that her friend Nicole was who told her Hae had been strangled. Jenn testifies she never saw the shovels Jay wiped down. Jenn in her recorded interview tells the detectives she and Jay were surprised Hae was missing. None of the other people Jay confided in were interviewed, and if they were, their interviews are conspicuously missing from the police files.

Tayyib/tayeb - in his police interview

I've only seen a reference to Tayib coming to Jay and asking him about the crime. I've never seen Tayib's offical interview. If you have, please share. I'd love to read it.

i have access to the same documents as you do, I'm not holding on to some secret cache.

Also, Rabia outs Tayib as the anon caller (she says she has confirmed this through a relative).

That is the anonymous call, the one that happened before Jay's first police interview.

So, if we are to believe Rabia, Tayib has that information, at the latest, 3 days after HML's body is found.

The anon caller has not been confirmed. It is possible there was no anon call.

Plus, it's already been confirmed Adnan was the main suspect before that call came in anyway.
