Though instructed, per the usual rules in a murder trial, to disregard the fact that Adnan didn't testify in his own defense, they clearly held it against his credibility, and one juror noted that she believed Jay in part because she felt that he wouldn’t tell a lie that would send him to jail. We heard from jurors in this episode too. Why didn't the police interview him at the time? How to Stop a Bird-Murdering Cat Conor Gearin But Serial doesn't have a fancy crime lab either, and Koenig talked in this episode to a friend of Jay that the police knew about and never interviewed, but who gave details 15 years later that contradicts Jay's story. He declared that the investigation was better than most of the ones that he's seen. So what struck me most about "The Deal With Jay," this week's episode, was the statement of the retired detective who the podcast hired for his expertise on the subject of false confessions.

The fact that no one EVER questioned her(and think about it if Jay was lying to protect her he kept her safe and clear from this so he succeeded in his plot to protect her IF there was another scenario that he left out, I’m just saying) now we don’t know anything about their friendship or her personality. We feel that there might be a possibility that if jay lied in his testimony in blaming the murder on Adnan, Why oh why did no one Ever question Jays Girl friend?!? If he were ever going to lie and protect anyone, it would be her. I am happy that some of my students had one of the same questions as I did.
