They don't hold up separately.
If you've listened to our show, you probably remember all this.
Jay was a friend of Adnan's who told the cops that Adnan said he was going to kill Hay and that after he did it, he showed Jay her body in the trunk of a car and then coerced Jay into helping bury her in a wooded city park.
The motion explains, as many people have before, that the details of Jay's story kept changing.
Becky Feldman points to one glaring example, the location where Jay says Adnan first showed him Hay's body.
In his first taped interview with the detectives, Jay tells them he met up with Adnan somewhere along Edmondson Avenue, and that's when he sees Hay's body in the trunk.
A couple weeks later, Jay tells the cops he met up with Adnan and saw Hay's body in a different spot.
And Jay's story has gotten even more confusing in the years since the trial.
The motion notes that Jay told a reporter, not me, back in 2014, that he'd been out in front of his grandmother's house when a nun came by and popped the trunk.
At the trial, prosecutors kept saying to the jury, we know he's not the greatest witness.
That's a juror named Lisa Flynn.
The prosecutors were telling the jury, don't worry, you don't have to rely on his testimony alone, because what he's saying is corroborated by the cell phone records.
Cell phone evidence was crucial to the state's case.
It underpinned Jay's testimony about what happened that night, where they went, whom they spoke to.
It glued together the timeline.
The cell phone evidence helped clear up the shagginess of Jay's story.
But Becky Feldman wrote in last week's motion that the cell phone evidence at trial, it was unreliable.
Adnan's defense team has been saying this for years, but the state only recently talked to three experts about what the cell records actually show and don't show.
And the experts all agreed you can't use the incoming call records to back up Jay's narrative.
