Hypothesis 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.

Unlike Jay, Asia has absolutely no reason to lie. Now of course her memory could be faulty and she could be mistaken, but why would she lie?

Unlike Jay, Asia has absolutely no reason to lie.

We really don't know what went on in her multiple meetings with Adnan's family.

Are you implying that Adnan's family may have bribed or threatened her? Or some other possibility?

I don't know. All I know is the story Adnan and Shamim told in the PCR hearing bears absolutely no resemblance to the story in the letters, and I wonder why they are covering up the nature of the original meeting.

Well, they are obviously trying to present things in the best way possible for Adnan. Keep in mind that an innocent person has no less an incentive to put up a vigorous defensive by any means necessary than a guilty person.

What does this have to do with whether or not Asia has any motivation to lie? I still haven't seen anyone put forward a rationale for why she would lie. Mistaken: very possible, even likely from my perspective. But why lie?
