The witnesses are motivated by fear, as seen in Brigg’s, King’s lawyer, question to them, saying, “You were afraid and you would have said anything” (Meyers, 37). The witnesses themselves would admit to this. Bolden stated that “I knew that the people got killed, and was thinking of trading what I knew for some slack” (Meyers, 48). When someone is afraid, they are willing to say anything to get out of trouble. Both witnesses were afraid of going to or staying in jail.

The evidence will show that the State's main witness, Jay Wilds, who was allegedly involved in the aiding of the victims murder, is an unreliable witness. Jay’s testimony has many inconsistencies and misleading information. During Jay’s interrogation with the police, he changes multiple parts of his story. The following are a few of the modifications the witness made, one Jay states to have refused to help in the digging of the victims grave but later reforms his story and states he did. Two, Jay told police Adnan informed him about his plan to murder Ms. Lee the day the murder occurred but later alters his story and says Adnan had frequently mentioned killing her.

Just like the evidence provided by the witnesses, there is no way to tell what is the truth, and what is a lie masquerading as the
Those are only a few of the lies Jay has told, and who knows what else he has lied about. Because Jay is so inconsistent and can’t keep his story straight it makes me wonder which version is the truth and if he is even a credible enough witness to be used in the
Presentence investigative reports (PSI) are presented to a judge, often by a probation officer, to give the facts surrounding the case and make sentence recommendations.
