Not that I'm convinced of his innocence, but I do think it's interesting that Jay's age is emphasized to explain problems with his evidence, but the fact that Adnan was also only 17 is usually elided.

The way I understand the case, Adnan would have had only the bare minimum time to kill Hae. I'm dubious that he could have done it that quickly given that he had no experience with murder. On top of that, to the extent it was a planned murder, it would have been cobbled together pretty quickly on the prosecution's own case, which also paints him as a fairly sophisticated criminal (getting an alibi ready, entrapping the 'right' individual to help him dispose of the body, devising a ploy to isolate Hae, etc). For the prosecution, he's inflamed to violence as a 17 year old would be, but has the calculating mind of a veteran criminal. That strikes me as a problematic inconsistency in their case.

For those that are convinced of his guilt, what is Adnan's motive for killing Hae? There's the break-up but there's no evidence I can recall that he was particularly fixated on or traumatized by it. There is evidence, though, that they both moved on and by early January he was already seeing at least two other girls. The murder was weeks after they broke up. Why would he go backwards in his life, so to speak, to kill her?
