Transcription of Susan Simpson interview segment in which she says "we have people who did say that Hae smoked weed" and discusses third party scenarios.

Transcription from part of Robert Wright's (RW) interview of Susan Simpson (SS) at Bloggingheads.

I tried my best to transcribe exactly what was said. That means some unnatural phrasing in several places. I also left out ahs and uh huhs.

From 1:01:49:

RW: In what scenario is there where he’s (Jay) involved and Adnan isn’t?

SS: There is kind of a false dichotomy here that the only connection between – I mean either it’s Jay or it’s Adnan because they were all classmates. Adnan is not the only connection between Hae and Jay. They have friends in common. They have people in common. It’s not like it’s some stranger from like Milwaukee who doesn’t know anyone in town. Like what are the odds he would be involved in Hae’s murder?

RW: You think Jay might have done it without Adnan?

SS: I don’t…most of the time I don’t think Jay did it. I don’t really…I mean. I don’t think so. I mean he might have. I think there is…it’s tough to say. But the thing that involves a third party and someone else? Like that’s not that…like Jay has connections to Hae that involve third parties that are not Adnan. There are other people they have in common.

RW: Who would have a reason to want to kill her?

SS: So I am not going to say any names right now. I am not going to put that down yet. Things are being looked into. But it’s not that simple as saying like oh it had to be Adnan because no one else has them in common. We also know that Jay is...

RW: It’s just that it’s the only clear motivation that has come up.

SS: But if that’s the case we can always arrest the boyfriend when a girlfriend dies or an ex-girlfriend.

RW: No, there’s all the other stuff. There’s the cellphone data which we have argued about. There’s Kathy’s testimony, and there’s other stuff.

SS: Yeah but with that aside what we do know is that, I mean, we have people who did say that Hae smoked weed. And we know that Jay dealt weed to people who Stephanie said he should deal to. I think he said 15 people at Woodlawn he was dealing to. And he says at some point I forget which trial that Hae was not one of them but again it’s Jay. Since they were all in a circle and like Adnan if he wanted to get weed he went to Stephanie and Stephanie took him to Jay. It’s not hard to imagine that if Hae wanted to do the same thing she would take the same route Adnan did. Go to Stephanie. Stephanie puts him in touch with Jay.
