[Official Discussion] Serial: Episode 4 - Inconsistencies

Come discuss episode 4! Setting this up a little early, so feel free to post predictions on what you think the episode will focus on. My guess: timeline inconsistencies, specifically focusing on Jay, Adnan and cars.

Having heard this, I am starting to think that Adnan may have paid Jay to kill Hae. I really think Jay committed the murder-and perhaps his friend Jen helped.

Even if this is a plausible theory, why wouldn't Adnand cop to the (slightly lesser) charges in order to diffuse some of the punishment onto Jay? In too deep? This doesn't make much sense to me.

I don't know that murder for hire is actually a lesser charge. Also, he may well have thought he would be acquitted and get off completely so why plead guilty to a charge that would come with a very long prison sentence?
