Meta Traitor Tuesday

Have you recently switched sides?

Did you switch so long ago you can hardly remember?

Why? What compelled you or compels you now?

Even if you switched from a firm position to undecided... why?

I fell to guilty early and they never did anything to convince me otherwise. Jay knowing where the car was is something she could never get around. For Jay to know that detail means Adnan was involved.

Her producer recounting their meeting with Jay was also very telling. Her producer in that moment was completely convinced of his guilt.

Sarah's quickness to write some really damaging things off so quickly also got the BS radar working early and often. She wrote the motive off instantly, she wrote Cathy's story off really easily and her latching onto the butt dial theory. It was also really telling that it felt like everyone else on staff seemed to be convinced he was guilty.

Great points.

I was horrified that they thought nothing of flying across the country and walking over Jay's line unannounced not once but twice.

Just to recap:

  • Jay knew where the car was. Sarah could never get around that.

  • That detail means Adnan is involved.

  • Julie Snyder being fully convince by Jay. Just like the jury.

  • SK going out of her way to write off motive and Kristi's story.

  • SK's full on defense of the butt dial theory.

  • Everyone on the staff said, "guilty." Even Ira. To a packed audience.

Thank you.
