Not one bit with the person I knew.

That's Jane Efron, who taught Hay and Adnan English at Woodlawn.

Her father was a cop.

I asked Ewing, can an otherwise seemingly normal kid up and do something like this?

Plan something like this?

Or even do it impulsively?

Is snapping a thing?

Because people say that all the time also, like, maybe you snapped or maybe, you know, you snapped.

So that was news to me, that there's this sort of liminal phase, a simmering contemplation.

What if I killed this person?

And that can take the place of actual cognizant planning, but end up in the same result.

The other thing I've considered in my more reachy moments is whether Adnan did it but doesn't know he did it.

I'm not the only person who's entertained that one.

Here's Adnan's friend Laura.

Apparently, this is not as outlandish as it might sound.

Did you say half, half the people?

Because literally like the memory isn't in their brain anymore or it never was in their brain or –

Do you think it's, is there another scenario where you, it starts out as a lie, as a sort of cognizant lie, like I didn't do this, I had nothing to do with this.

And then over time, you truly believe that lie, like you kind of erase the fact that you're lying and it just becomes the truth of it for you?

Less often in homicides?
