cut down his credibility and say that Jay has no life but he does. Jay told reporters about his weed stash back during this case and said that ¨It wasn’t just like I was selling a nickel bag here and there. At the time, this was Maryland in the ’90s, the drug laws were extremely serious. I saw the ATF and DEA take down guys in my neighborhood for selling much less than I was at the time. And they were getting sentenced to three and five years. I also ran the operation out of my grandmother’s house and that also put my family at risk. I had a lot more on the line than just a few bags of weed¨. (Cooper)Jay had so much more to lose than people think. He had a family and he knew that D.E.A. was after everyone in his town and they were getting sent to jail. Jay long with a lot of other people doesn't wanna go to jail and that would really disappoint his grandma which he was living with. Jay wasn't a pot head like Sara depicted him to be in Serial. He cares a lot more than what is told in serial and he's a very trustworthy man.
Another reason why Adnan is guilty is because of his relationship.
Adnan and Hae’s Relationship wasn't your typical relationship. Adnan was possessive and seems like he couldn't even trust Hae. Adnan was really possessive according to Emily saying “It started out with Hae being completely in love with Adnan but over time, that slowly faded. Reasons why this “love faded” include the fact that Adnan would randomly show up at a friends house when Hae was there. There were other instances where he would show up randomly, he seemed to be a clingy type of person.” Adnan was so clingy after the breakup and so heartbroken that he finally had no one left. His Religion, family and even some friends were done with him because of Hae and in his mind he had no other route than to kill Hae Lee. Adnan even loved Hae so much that he would even lie to his own mom. Sara even says that “Adnan did most of his lying to his mother. She figured out something was up pretty early on. She’d found Adnan’s crown from prom in the basement where he’d tried to stash it with his tux.(episode 2)” Adnan lied to his mom so he could date this girl. That is not normal at all and this shows that he was trying to keep stuff from his parents and probably not the only thing Adnan has kept from them. Once he realized after Hae broke up with him that he was so foolish that a girl came between him and his family. Adnan at this point couldn't let go of the fact of how stupid he was until he had successfully killed
Hae Lee.
