I think the reactions of the two are telling, as well. Adnan is just letting it all sort of hang out there, he has no control over literally anything because of his position. This could fishtail in any direction on him and he knows it. Is even openly worried about it.
Jay apparently thinks everybody (or at least everybody white) is out to get him and he doesn't speak to anyone until he has control over the questions. I can understand why he didn't want the story to be brought back up, even if he wasn't directly involved, but he had a chance to participate from the beginning and made a choice not to. Then the thing blows up, he seems to panic because his reputation was besmirched in his mind, so he goes into damage control mode after the podcast ends. He tries to paint himself as not only a victim of circumstance, but a hero to women, children and grandmothers everywhere. There's just something...wrong about that to me. Although I can't really quantify what it is that makes me feel that way. Just something about his behavior makes him seem even more guilty to me.
Personally I think SK was fair and maybe even too generous to Jay. I think I would have been harsher. He lied. Over and over. I also wouldn't have had so much ambivalence about the murder itself, because the timeline simply does not work. Whether or not you think Adnan did it (I don't), or is even capable of it (I do - anyone is), at the end of the day there should not have been a conviction. Jay is too unreliable.
