I'm Confused About the Timeline


The chasing scene at the football game. Julia roberts said she killed the boy after he's being released which i assume at the present. But later she said she killed him 13 years ago. Can someone tell me about the timeline?

No, he was released 13 years ago after Claire and Ray interrogated him and Ray beat him up. Shortly after, the DA- Morales had the van torched so as Marzin could not be prosecuted and they could then focus on the mosque and the counter terrorism case. So it was sometime after that, that Jess claimed she killed him because she knew that once the van was torched, he would never be prosecuted.
