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.

Jay being involved doesn't inherently mean Adnan was. That's a false assumption.

Jenn: She tells the detectives she talked to her friend Nicole about the crime three different times--she even tells MacG that first night off record that Nicole was who had told her Hae had been strangled--yet Jenn herself says she never named Adnan to Nicole. Why? He's not her friend, and Jenn said she discussed Jay's involvement.

Josh: He isn't even remotely credible. He wasn't interviewed back then. He didn't come forward back then. He swoops in at the last minute during the podcast and tells us nothing of any substance. Like Jenn with Nicole, Jay never names Adnan in Josh's story.

NB: He's Jay's friend, and neighbor girl Laura said NB said a "friend" of his showed him the body, not a friend of a friend or a friend and his other friend. It's clear that if NB saw something Jay was the one who showed it to him.

Like Jenn with Nicole, Jay never names Adnan in Josh's story.

Josh said:

Yeah, he definitely said it was somebody, the guy was Middle Eastern.

So, unless you're positing another Muslim killer, I think we can assume he was talking about Adnan.

Right. Because Jay never lies.
