I don't think Adnan did it. The motive is too convenient, and it's weak. Asia will end up swearing under oath that he had an alibi, and I think he'll ultimately get off if all of these new motions are granted. The case the prosecution put together was extremely weak, but the jury seemed naive at best and criminally incompetent at worst.
I think someone instigated, and Jay helped. I think whoever did this ultimately got to Jay, and they got together and framed Adnan. Who that someone is, I have no idea, but I really don't believe Adnan did it.
Yeah, the jurors are naive.
I don't know why Jay helped, nor do I know why they wanted to frame Adnan, but after all of that, there's nothing more than really strained circumstantial evidence to tie him to the murder.
There is literally no hard evidence tying this kid to the crime. Nothing.
None of the stories pinning him to the murder ever lined up, and they changed, significantly, from investigation to trial...and then again after the mistrial.
If this kid murdered the girl, he is as cold and smooth as Hannibal Lector. And none of that fits any sort of profile he's ever exhibited.
