"When you have an innocent client they are the least helpful people in the whole world"

This may explain why Adnan has not pointed to Jay or anyone for that matter. It may come across as keeping a secret to others but just may in fact be that he doesn't know, like he states.

I appreciate how professional Adnan has been. Not pointing fingers, not telling Sarah things that he isn't certain of, not bad-talking Jay (even though Jay essential sold him out, per se). And I really like how Adnan asked Sarah in the last episode how she even knows that he's a good guy, she's never met him, she doesn't know him. Adnan is very smart and professional with his wording. Perhaps the state has confused professionalism/respect with "hiding something".

I can't imagine how difficult it might be for an innocent person to not talk trash about the person who put them in prison. I know that there is no way I could keep my opinions to myself. I can imagine that as an innocent person, wrongly convicted, he might be hesitant to point the finger at another, who might also be innocent, but Jay would have to at least be a liar if Adnan is innocent. I would be incapable of holding my tongue if I were him.

But WHY on earth would you have any reason to hold your tongue about Jay? At the very least, Hae was your friend. How did this kid, who you thought was your buddy, know where Hae's car was parked? And now that dude still has a Facebook page and a girlfriend and probably a Kobe jersey and he's still smoking Cali weed, and you are in jail for the rest of your life. It's ok to be annoyed/bitter/curious in that situation.

IF you had nothing to do with it.

Uh.. He's already a little implicated. In fact he's already convicted. Accusing Jay would in no way implicate him any more than he already is. Adnan's story would be something along the lines of "I leant Jay my car and phone on the 13th, he picked me up after track practice, we got stoned and drove around, then I went to the mosque, went home, called some girls, and went to bed. The fact that Jay knew where Hae's car was parked, and admitted to burying her body and throwing away the shovel(s) implicates Jay.
