defending jacob 3

I now believe that Jacob did commit the crime of killing Ben and also the girl at the end of the book. When the last section of the court was needed at the end of the book, it made no sense to me. However, I now believe that Jacob did kill Ben. The last section made it clear that Laurie knew that Jacob killed Ben all along. The knife in the water as well as Andy never getting supported explains everything. I did not expect this ending at all.
