S14 Ep17: The Prosecutors V. Adnan - Pt. 11

In part 11 of The Prosecutors' series, Brett and Alice aim to discredit any theories or elements of the case that could lead away from a guilty narrative. The plot points on this one are: 1. The reliability of incoming calls. 2. When did Jay tell Jenn about the murder? 3. Was there a pay phone at Best Buy? 4. Did Jay lead the police to Hae's car? And 5. Did Jay and Adnan visit Kristi Vinson on the night of the murder? This is part of their "process of elimination" approach to leaving you with no...
