You sound like an excellent lawyer, and you’re raising a lot of doubt for me. Three items continue to throw me:
Jay helped Adnan bury Hae’s body, which is corroborated with the cell phone calls, and Jay leading detectives to Hae’s car. Moreover, I neither believe–nor understand why–Jay would plead guilty to being an after-the-fact accessory to murder if he didn’t help Adnan. The collateral facts of Jay’s story change, but the material facts do not.
On the night of the murder, police called Adnan, looking for Hae. If the police called you looking for your ex-girlfriend, saying she was missing, do you know where she is? You’d immediately call her or text her–hey, the cops are looking for you! call your mom and let her know you’re okay! Adnan didn’t–because he knew Hae was dead.
In Adnan’s statements, he doesn’t make any reference to being in the library until after Asia claims she saw him. In all his statements about his whereabouts on the day of the murder, he says he was at the school, from 2:15pm to 3:30pm.
I want to believe Adnan is innocent, but the State of Maryland has convinced me he isn’t.
I wish your firm had represented Adnan at his first trial.
