Juror Number 8

My producer and I have spent a lot of time piecing together what we know about this attack, trying to understand how Jasmine was restrained and what happened inside that apartment. What stands out to me is the haphazard way she was cuffed. It was a tangled, almost desperate arrangement, like they were put on in the middle of a fight.

In my opinion, Jason Chen wasn't methodically restraining Jasmine. He was trying to gain control of her, trying to keep her from kicking, fighting, and ultimately getting away. And now the autopsy photos confirmed it. Jasmine was in the fetal position during the attack. And I'm bringing it up again because it's crucial to understanding the wounds themselves.

If she had been in any other position, the injuries would have been scattered across her body. But instead, every single stab wound was concentrated in one small area, her upper right side. That kind of concentrated violence, it says something. It tells us this wasn't random. It wasn't chaotic. It was intentional.

When I close my eyes at night, I can't help but visualize how this happened, trying to piece together the moments leading up to Jasmine's death. I'm certain I'm not alone in this. Anyone who's seen these photos, the investigators, attorneys, Judge Patterson, Dr. Cogswell, my fellow jurors, and especially Jasmine's family, they all likely confront similar visions.

Yet the only person who truly knows what happened is Jason Chen. Here's what we've put together based on the evidence presented thus far. Though I want to be clear that these are my own theories, not necessarily facts. We know that Jasmine went to Jason's apartment by choice on November 22nd, arriving at 1142 p.m. She was there for over two hours before things went terribly wrong.

On day six of the trial, Jason's downstairs neighbor will testify that she heard a woman scream coming from his apartment at 2.11 a.m. on the early hours of November 23rd, followed by the sound of chasing, movement from the back bedroom toward the front door. Then she heard the front door slam.

Seven minutes after that scream, at 2.18 a.m., Jasmine sends a pin drop location to her mother, Katrina Bean. Not a text, not a call, a location pin. That detail haunts me. I've thought about how sending a location pin works. It's not the most instinctive thing to do under stress, but it's gotten easier to do in the last couple of years.

On an iPhone, which Jasmine had at the time, it used to require users to open Apple Maps, search the location, and then drop a pin manually. But now all you have to do is open your text message app, click the plus sign next to the text field, scroll down to location, and hit send. Still, why a location pin? To me, it feels like she didn't have time to type a message.

As if this was all she could do. Her way of saying, Mom, this is where I am. I've come to realize that when people lie, they often weave in parts of the truth. It's like they can't help but sprinkle in bits of reality. And they'll almost always cast themselves as the victim, not the one responsible for the harm done. That's why the defense's story during their opening statement stuck with me.

According to them, Jasmine was the aggressor, chasing Jason, and Jason was the one running from her. They painted this almost comical scene of Jason trying to slam the bathroom door shut, only to be foiled by the bath mat. Then came the so-called impossible pocket door to the bedroom, as if this whole thing was some sitcom misunderstanding.
