There is an issue with #1 no matter what transpired, assuming it was Jay or Adnan. The facts as presented don't provide strong motive for either one. Nobody indicates Adnan showed any signs of jealousy and the lengths to which the prosecution team had to go to present him as such were (sadly) comical. Jay doesn't have motive, either. The presumption would have to be for either one of them that they were stoned and made a bad decision. Adnan wasn't presented as someone who did any harder drugs than pot, which does not make the overwhelming majority of people violent. Jay was primarily into pot as well yet he was the connection for illicit drugs. So, he had access to harder stuff that could have led to the wrong reaction.
To a larger point, the fact that the police deemed Jay in any way credible is maddening. Just in listening to him talk, his verbal cues when he lies are off the charts obvious. Meanwhile, I tried hard to discover a time when Adnan might give himself away. There were maybe two times during the 12 podcast interviews where I even found a hint of it. If he is lying, he is a master of the craft.
As for #3, the police work in this trial exemplifies the fact that their decision making shouldn't be trusted on anything. They locked in on Adnan once Jay threw him under the bus and that was the ballgame. I was just as horrified as the legal defense team when I heard the DNA swabbing was not performed. They didn't *want* to discover anything that would exonerate Adnan. Their biggest concern overall was guaranteeing that this did not become a cold case, which is in my estimation exactly what has transpired.
