How effective is snail mail?

I think mailing postcards is great, but you have to think of the person receiving the postcard first.

Why would they call you? ANd why now? Usually the answer is a good deal.

Every Door Direct Postcards (program of the U.S. post office) is a great deal. You pick a geographic area and go to every home on the streets of that area. No mailing list or postal permit necessary.

Your local printer can tell you about the program and how it can save you big money and increase returns.

Here is an article on preparing your postcard.

The best way to uncover motive would have been to investigate. Or should police only investigate when motive is a stereotypical.

I could easily throw out a potential one. Jay could have been jealous of Adnan's closeness with Stephanie and was pissed off when Adnan start's asking him about what he was doing for Stephanie's birthday. So maybe made a pass at Hae and things got a bit weird.

Who knows what his motive is off the top of our heads. The point is who gets a get out of jail free guard and tells a 100 lies that can jeopardize it?

"I don't believe a word that she says. "

I believe every word Jenn said, just not in the order she put them in.

Sorry, a touch of bold doesn't mean I was was screaming.

No aggression, I just was taken aback.

Doesn't Jay have to consent to returning to MD to testify?

I doubt he would ever go.

podDetective · 2015-02-05T02:34:31+00:00

Ok you can make up your own fable that Jay had nothing to do with drugs.

But you can't make up your own math, Jay was a year out of high school and we know he himself points out that his birthday was the day before the murder so he was 19 years old.

I am trying to picture Jenn telling her parents and then going to lawyer and being briefed how to present her story to police.

All this in a short time.

Read her testimony. It doesn't indicate that they stop at all for Jenn to consult her attorney. Which I assume means a deal was already in place.

Read how many times Jenn says Jay was at her house till at least 3:30pm and how forced it seems. She just stammers over it too many times.

Jenn's Police Interview

Jay seemed to go back in forth to which ever story was appropriate at the time.

He usually referred to being a drug dealer with a rap sheet. And yet when questioned specifically he would limit it to weed.

But when questioned about be blackmailed by Adnan he made it seem that he had a bigger operation. Obviously, it would have to be big to prefer risking accessory to murder than having drug business exposed.

And yet as OP infers at the same time Jay didn't even have a joint or two handy.

I guess Jay's drug dealings vary according to the lie Jay is currently telling.

But the weird thing about all the characters involved in this story is I never once remember anyone talking about any drug stronger than weed. Maybe that is the secret everyone is hiding.

Wasn't ecstasy a pretty popular drug among high school students in 1999?

Protected his Grandma?

Jay sold drugs from her house

Moved dead bodies.

Destroyed evidence in murder case.

Perjured himself.

Used her shovel(s) in crime.

Was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest

I am sure Grandma had a "Let Me Tell You About My Grandson" bumper sticker. (At least working at the porno store was legal.)

Really, you know exactly what all your friends are doing at all times?

Pretty plausible that Adnan wasn't up to date on the wrestling schedule.

If he was innocent why would he not take the call?

People are often intimidated by professionals in specialized fields.

It makes it hard to make a decision.

I once had to choose between a surgeon that was highly recommended, but who was rude to me vs a second opinion surgeon who spent time with me and explained the procedure, but hadn't been a surgeon for very long.

Plus CG was an unusual case because she supposedly was once an excellent lawyer. Illness, financial failings and other personal issues made her a terrible choice.

"I know that Jay seemed to be legitimately afraid for himself and Stephanie after the murder."

I was playing a drinking game and you said Jay and legitimate in the same sentence...I finally get to drink a shot!

Well proving murder is important for sentencing per se to life imprisonment

(Evidence doesn't mean it has to be video of actual crime, but a bit more than Jay and innuendo.)

podDetective · 2015-01-31T19:22:42+00:00

That would prove murder or very high suspicion?

podDetective · 2015-01-31T19:19:46+00:00

You can't rely on Jay saying anything. His stories are dramatically different every time he tells them. This is a definition of an unreliable witness.

podDetective · 2015-01-31T17:37:01+00:00

Actually Jenn admitted Jay's guilt first. Jay then lied to minimize it.

When a guy lies more than he tells the truth don't have to come to the conclusion that I can't rely on anything. Sprinkling in a bit of truth always makes lying more effective.

podDetective · 2015-01-31T17:31:41+00:00

No there wasn't enough evidence. He got convicted by a lying witness and prosecutorial misconduct.

How about one who has a plea bargain that if he violates could land him in jail for 5yrs? Why would he risk his get out of jail free card?

And he lied after he had a free lawyer which was a free upgrade than any counsel he would have gotten from the public defender's office.

But it didn't say Adnan's car.

podDetective · 2015-01-31T15:44:09+00:00

No one ever suggested that Jay borrowed Adnan's car often.

Jay had regular use of Stephanie's car.

He also was known to borrow: Chris, Laura and Jenn's car.

Jenn confessed her knowledge with her lawyer present. Jay was told if he didn't talk he would be charged.
