Question

13. Why is the 'Nisha call' important? Does it support or refute Adnan's innocence?

Answer 1

Nisha's call is very important in this investigation. Since this call references a girl named Nisha with Adnan’s phone an hour after Hae Min Lee was murdered. While it may be the obvious conclusion that the caller was Adnan, he claims that he had left his phone in Jay’s car during this time. The call lasted two minutes and Adnan suggested that Jay might have pocket dialed Nisha.

Jay, who did not know Nisha, countered this by saying that Adnan had called Nisha while in his car. It would seem counterintuitive that Jay would put Adnan’s phone in his pocket for any reason. Nisha’s phone number himself and is trying to come up with an excuse to cover up for it.
