And many things in the case of the State do not add up. Like Jay's story and how it keeps changing, over and over again. Or cell phone records, Jay claims they were in one place but the cell phone is pinging a tower miles away. Or how about the fact that the state kept Adnan locked up for almost 15 years because of a flimsy story told to them by Adnan's supposed "friend". Let's start with Jay's story. “Jay stated in his first police interview that after dropping Adnan off at the track, he went home to wait for Adnan to call him to pick him up once the tests were over. In Jay's second police interview, however, and in his testimony at his first trial, his story changes. Jay states that after dropping Adnan off at track practice, he went to Cathy's house, where he stayed with Cathy and Jeff for about half an hour, until Adnan called to ask to be picked up" (TheViewFromLL2.com, Susan ) .So if Jay didn't tell the truth and Adnan actually killed Hae, he wouldn't remember what he did that day much more specifically? Another strange thing in Jay's story would be the cell phone records to ask Jay to come get him was at 4:58pm and Jay's first story made sense with the time and cell tower but his second story about being at Cathy's tower is impossible Pinged is L654C which lines up perfectly with Jay's house. However, Cathy's apartment is on the other side of town and completely out of range." As you can see, Jay's house is easily within range of L654C. Cathy's apartment, on the other hand, is absolutely not” (TheViewFromLL2.com, Susan) Then there is the state of Maryland who basically ignores and overlooks the obvious signs that they shouldn't trust what Jay says. And there's no way they're that stupid, so to jump right to the point racial profiling has a lot to do with why they kept him locked up all these years. Adnan is American but the prosecution repeatedly calls him Pakistani. The indictment also highlights the pattern of Pakistani men killing women who then flee the country. Now once again Adnan is American, he was born and raised in America. It is even said that they are afraid to release him on bail because they think he will run away to Pakistan and live with his shady uncle who knows how to "make people disappear".
