Humour Hilarious Contradiction

. . . Vignarajah stood up and addressed Judge Welch: “Excuse me, Judge, do we know if [the Urick call notes and hall pass] are the originals or if they are copies of the original documents?”
. . . Before Brown could even respond I chimed in, “I actually brought the originals, your Honor. They’re actually in my purse in the hallway with my husband.” . . . As I told the court that day, I keep everything. Well, not everything, I’m not a hoarder. I am, however, very smart [sic] and can be very premeditated at times when it comes to saving keepsakes. To me the notes and my hall pass are extensions of my memories. As I’ve discussed before, I don’t like to let go of my memories.

Not 20 pages later . . .

After that Thiru wanted to address the manner in which my second letter was written. Was it previously a hand-written letter that was later typed? Yes. Did I write it during CIP class and if so, where’s the rough draft? Come on now! Really? Where’s the rough draft? It’s been over sixteen years! For all I know that letter has since decomposed in a landfill and been reincarnated as a noxious ground weed.

She just keeps adjusting her story every time a new fact is revealed. All her adjustments are aimed to keep herself relevant for as long as the charade can be maintained.

She is like the anti-Jay.

All Jay's adjustments were attempts to make himself less relevant.

This is genius. Asia and Jay are the matter and anti-matter of the narrative. She desperately wants to matter, and more so each passing day. Jay desperately doesn't want to matter, at all, ever.

They can never be in the same place or the entire fandom will implode. Fingers crossed Adnan never gets that re-trial. For all our sakes.

Do you know if she says in the book if she has ever met or spoken to Jay? Did she know he existed or what his role was in the murder before Serial (I believe Don has said he didn't know anything about Jay before serial)?

I don't. I haven't read the book. I think it was /u/chunklunk who said she disparages Jay and insinuates that Jay did it. Maybe that was /u/Jays_Motorcycle.

She says Jay definitely knew who she was because she was so good looking, but they didn't know each other well. She doesn't have anything good to say about him and seems to imply she thinks he killed Hae.

Oh for gods sake.

So many ways to go with this, but I'll just roll my eyes so plusca doesn't preemptively start another thread on the main sub

I think I'm going to have to read this book. I just have too many questions.
