Continuation Part 16: Amanda Knox/Raffaele Sollecito

[Dan O.]

...

Also the plan of the flat in the above document shows no window in the small bathroom. There maybe but I can find no picture showing one. Can you prove the assertion there was natural light (and sufficient that routinely switching on a light in November was unnecessary).

There are no windows in the small bath. But there is a large skylight. It can be seen in the reflection in the faucet and in the Spheron images.

Every floor plan I've seen shows no window in their bathroom.

That plan also omits the window in the laundry and behind the tub in the large bath.


ETA: It also omits the second shower.

The small bathroom didn't have a window, but I believe it may have had a small skylight, so there may have been some natural light.

Yes, actually, I think you're right. In the photo in my link above, there does appear to be a small skylight slightly out of focus.

How does this affect the original point? Was vixen correct that there was no reason for Amanda to put her hand on the switch? (Which I believe was the point)

I don't think the skylight would help much at night.

Thought I see the skylight too in the photo above, from this link you provided

I just looked at it on Google Earth and I'm more than 90 percent sure there is no skylight anywhere in that cottage including that bathroom. I'm holding out being positve, because it is a little fuzzy.

So the theory is they cleaned at night and not after the proven purchase of bleach from Quintavalle?

LOL. I'm guessing that's not your theory.

So much for 90%

Vixen's point was that since Amanda's bloody print was on the light switch (a false premise), the fact that there was natural light in the bathroom meant that if she needed to turn the light on, this proves it was dark when she did so.

Since Amanda's bloody print is not on the switch, the question of whether there was enough natural light in the bathroom so that the light didn't need to be used in the daytime has no bearing on anything. But we still explored the question of the light anyway! Rather unnecessarily, in hindsight.

ETA: However, the question of natural light in Amanda's room is relevant. Her main room light was not working, so, when she entered her room on the morning of the 2nd, if she hadn't had enough natural light to see by, she would have noticed whether or not her lamp was missing when she went to turn it on.

 

[Grinder]

LOL. I'm guessing that's not your theory.

Rose it's proven. Mignini said they had the receipts.

Okay it was Vixen's I think. There was a discussion about Amanda's fingerprint on the light switch and someone said there was no natural light and V said there was a window and now we know there was a skylight.

I'm sure your recount is better and I agreed the whole thing was a figment from TJMK or ...

So much.,lol

 

[Grinder]

Here's another angle:

One can see the skylight between some leaves.

You already proved your point. Got another 5 angles??

There was a full moon. Does that help?

I've got one from the deck and one looking up from inside the small bath.

 

[Grinder]

Depending where in the sky.

It was a waning half-moon.... at 9:30 pm in Perugia it was 60 degrees high in the southern sky.
