At the time of the first interview, the detectives definitely had two things: (1) a list of the calls made on Januand the towers they pinged and (2) a list of the cell towers and the addresses where they were located. To understand what happened, we need to back up a bit and examine what the investigators were doing before and after Jay’s first and second interviews. The police falsely believed that L654 was located three farther miles south than it really was, and so they made Jay change his story to match their incorrect location data. So why, then, did Jay change his story in the second interview, to tell a version of events that was even more demonstrably false than his first story, and even more in conflict with the location data from the cellphone records?īecause the police told him to, that’s why. Yet in between the first interview and the second, Jay changed his story - despite the fact that Jay’s claim from his first interview, in which he said that he was at his house when Adnan called him to be picked up from track, is one of the only times that he actually managed to tell a story that matched the location data (even if his timing was about two hours off). Cathy’s apartment, on the other hand, is absolutely not. (Int.2 at 20-21.)Īnd here is why the lie about Cathy’s apartment makes no sense: Jay’s statement in the first interview matches the location data from the cellphone records, while Jay’s statement in the second interview does not. It is generally accepted that Adnan’s call for a pickup from track practice occurred at 4:58 p.m., and this call pings L654C - which would be completely consistent with Jay being at his house (well, one of his houses, anyway) at the time of that call:Īs you can see, Jay’s house is easily in range of L654C.
And called me from the cell phone there and then I left Cathy’s and Jeff’s to hang out. And then, I, I think I may have, may have gone yeah, I went to Cathy and Jeff’s. Jay: I go, I was on my way home, but then I stopped off at Glston Park and ah, ah, I smoked another blunt before I went home.
Ritz: Were did you drop him off at school? Ritz: You leave home, you go back over to school to pick him up? Ritz: When he calls you at six forty-five, where exactly are you? Jay: Um maybe like six forty-five, something like that. Ritz: Do you recall what time he called you? Ritz: How do you know what time to go back to school? Ritz: What happens after you drop him off at school, is there come a point in time when you go back to school and pick him up? Most of Jay’s weird timeline-based lies have obvious explanations for how they evolved, but this one didn’t.įor background purposes, here is what Jay said during his first interview: It was a lie that had no apparent explanation, and that made Jay’s story even more impossible and absurd than it already was. There is no way that Jay could have made a trip to Cathy’s after dropping Adnan off at track, not if the cellphone records (or the laws of space-time continuum) have even a shred of meaning. Even worse, it does not match the cellphone records. There is no mention whatsoever of Jay making a previous trip to visit her, while Adnan was at track, and in fact, according to Cathy’s timeline, it would have been impossible for Jay’s “first” trip to her apartment to ever have occurred. According to Cathy, she got home around 5pm that day, and a little while later, Jay and Adnan showed up together. Moreover, it is an incredibly dumb lie, because it is easily (and thoroughly) contradicted by Cathy, who is a reliable and credible-seeming witness.
Jay claims that after dropping Adnan off at track practice, he went to Cathy’s house, where he hung out with Cathy and Jeff for half an hour or so, until Adnan called him to ask to be picked up.īut this story is obviously a lie. In Jay’s second police interview, however, and in his testimony at the first trial, his story changes. Jay claimed in his first police interview that, after dropping Adnan off at track, he went home to wait for Adnan to call to pick him up once practice was over. There is one part of Jay’s story that has been bugging me for a while now.
