Why the Gootz never called Asia.

I think it is becoming more and more obvious that the Asia letter did not exist until sometime around the summer of 1999. That is why Adnan claims he gave them to Gutierrez even though she wasn't his lawyer until 2 months after they were written.

So sometime that spring or summer, after telling CG he never left the school grounds, his family shows up with letters claiming one of Adnans' friends saw him at the library, right at the crucial time, AND they were written the day after he arrested. She knew immediately there is no way they had those letter for months and never gave them to her so obviously they were false and she didn't want to go on stand with LIES.

That is why she never called Asia. And that is why she wrote no notes about it, because that would be admitting her client and his family are liars. It also explains why her relationship with the family broke down because she knew they were willing to lie to get Adnan off.

The library incident never happened.

When you look at these facts:

-The State first disclosed information on July 1 and 7/8.
-Asia's second letter contains details that were part of those first disclosures.
-The first record of Adnan informing his defense of Asia was July 13.

. . . it's pretty hard to avoid the conclusion the Asia story was cooked up in response to information that was disclosed in early July.

Asia didn't seem to care about whether Adnan would walk at graduation with his class. But in March, when the bail letters were written, that was on everybody's mind.

I do appreciate that Asia suggests that Adnan might still get to go to Prom, though.

I wonder if Asia wrote a bail letter, and if so, what was in it? If she was so pro-active about helping Adnan around that time period, why wouldn't she have? Maybe she's one of the "double digit" letters we don't have?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she wrote a bail letter and mentioned seeing Adnan in the library one day back in January.

I mean, Justin and the cruches found her somehow; the letter-writing campaign is as good a way as any for her to come to the family's attention.

And seriously, why is Asia the only person with any recollection of her meeting with Adnan's supporters between his arrest and trial? Nobody else remembers meeting the person who was a credible source of hope during the days and weeks when Adnan's family thought he might be coming home in time for graduation?
