[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love listening too.

At first I thought that Jay set up Adnan but I am not so sure.

The biggest problem I have is that Adnan says that he doesn't remember the afternoon in question. That would make sense if nothing happened on that day but the [u]police called him that day and asked him about where he had been and when because the girl was missing[/u]. At that point, his afternoon would have been brought into clear focus and he would still remember it today. He would have been able to backtrack the whole day and give a detailed hour by hour account. He says things like, "I just don't remember" but he would have been forced to remember on that very day because of the call and circumstances.

Think about how people still remember exactly everything about where they were on 911 or when JFK was shot. When something big happens like [u]you get a call from police saying that your ex-girlfriend is missing[/u], you remember what happened 3 hours before.

Just saying that it is hard to remember a day in the life of a teenager from 14 years ago is not right in these circumstances.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

I disagree to an extent.  It seems he police called him to say "hae's family has reported her missing -- have you seen her?" one evening when he was high. To me it kinda seems realistic that that, in and of itself, wouldn't make the  details of your ownday come into focus (especially if you didn't kill her and it was an ordinary day).  They didn't say she's been found dead, foul play is suspected, or that he was under investigation/where had he been, etc etc.  She was dating a guy from work (and her mom was kinda strict apparently so she may not tell her mom where she was at all times), she wanted to run away to California, it was just a few hours since school - I could see her friends just thinking as of that night her mom is worried, she's in trouble when she turns up.  Especially adnan who wasn't necessarily seeing her every day or would be privy to her plans for a date night with her boyfriend, etc.  Anyways, I think the two things are different.  No one appears to have questioned adnan about involvement in foul play until many weeks later.

Also, in the first episode, Sarah explains that the woman who called her has an inflated view of Adnan and gives specifics of her exagerations. [/quote][/quote]
