Certainly possible nellie, but I think the wounds on Rudy's hand are also compatible with a right handed person trying to parry a knife held by another right handed person.
What I am trying to account for is the viciousness of the attack. Is Rudy capable of such an attack without anger?
I feel that substituting Meredith for the unknown stranger in Rudy's re-creation of the confrontation that happened when he came out of the bathroom might be closer to the truth.
My speculative scenario is that Meredith was in the main living area when she sensed that someone was in the second bathroom. She grabbed a sharp knife from the kitchen drying rack as a precaution and cautiously went towards the bathroom. Rudy appeared with his pants half down, per his story, and Meredith instinctively thrust the knife forward to deter him. Rudy, probably not even realizing she was holding a knife, grabbed for her hand as a token of friendship and was cut by the knife. The injury combined with the implicit rejection of him as a friend, illogical as it sounds, sparked his rage.
As I say, pure speculation. but how do you account for the viciousness of the attack? To me it resembles the violence too often inflicted in a fit of rage by jilted and jealous lovers.
Has anybody every tried to match the bed sheet knife print with one of the kitchen's knives?
