The prosecution believes that Hae was murdered between the times of 2:15 p.m. and 2:36 p.m. They believe that after school ended, Adnan asked to get a ride from Hae and strangled her at the Best Buy parking lot. In the call logs, it shows that Jay received two incoming calls from probably Adnan while at Jenn’s house. The call at 2:36 p.m. is the one supposed to be the ‘come-get-me’ call. Jay doesn’t claim that it is because he remembers it being around 3:40 p.m. Jenn also says that Jay didn’t leave her house until 3:30 p.m. Adnan was waiting at Best Buy by the phone booth when Jay went to pick him up. What can debunk Jay’s testimony is the fact that there isn’t a payphone at Best Buy. When Koenig did her investigation, she discovered that there …show more content…

Both documents prove that Adnan wasn’t at track practice when he said he was. First of all, Adnan is the only one who knows Nisha, so Jay wouldn’t call her. Secondly, how would they talk for a decent amount of time if he was at track practice? Lastly, Nisha doesn’t have an answering machine, so it couldn’t have been a voicemail (“The Case against Adnan Syed”). The timestamps for both Jay’s second statement and the log match, however, the locations don’t. Jay said he talked to Nisha when they were at a golf course by West Forest Park Avenue. The call was pinged back near Best Buy and that tower wouldn’t have received the call in that area. If Jay said that they were by Forest Park, then cell tower L689 would’ve been in the
