Meanwhile, "Lending your drug dealer your car so he can buy a birthday present, after you have made trips around town together earlier that day" is a not-so-credible statement...
I'm not sure about this (drug-related killing of an innocent bystander vs jealous rage of a 17 year old). Hae did write in her journal that Adnan is possessive, called her the devil (in jest), she told him that he should respect her break up decision because he's not doing so at the moment, and he wrote "I WILL KILL" on this letter. Plus many of the people from the mosque contacted SK saying they thought there's something wrong with Adnan. Yes as against that, Jay once tried to stab his buddy to show him how it feels like. Suffice it to say I would rather not be the best friend of either person, but at least you have to admit that the prosecution motive makes sense (sure, motive is not that important).
About not lending out your car to a drug dealer: Well, but that is one of the few things Adnan actually does remember from the day. I agree it's an unlikely thing to occur, but apparently that's what Adnan would have us believe. Maybe he's just trying to distance himself from Jay but in any case it's almost certainly clear to me that Adnan is lying about what really happened. Again it's either to protect his loved ones or to protect himself or both, but the accused clearly lying cannot be a source for exculpating him, not in court and not in this informal discussion.
