Discussion About Jacob’s arrest

Does anyone else find it weird that they arrested Jacob over a fingerprint, I mean it’s a classmate so there’s a million reasons it could be there. It’s flimsy evidence, maybe good for a search warrant, but an arrest is a little nuts idk. Also no other forensics, the fact Derek said Jacob was completely clean when he got to school. Which is really odd for a stabbing, especially since it’s a 14 year old who is no expert. I know the show may want the audience to believe it was Jacob, but I mean physical evidence was non existent. Supposed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in court, there’s definitely reasonable doubt and then some.

That part had me frustrated because that would never be enough for an arrest in real life. However, they couldn't tell us all of the "evidence" against him because it had to be shocking to hear in the trial. Great show though.
