#13, Significance of the glass

Lou Smit wants to see the glass on the suitcase as evidence an intruder placed his foot there. It's far more likely the glass simply dropped onto the suitcase from above -- when the window was broken. John has claimed HE broke the window months earlier. But he's also testified the suitcase wansn't under the window until the night of the murder. I think the glass was most likely broken the night of the murder as well. By John himself. Which is why some of it landed on the suitcase -- that he himself had placed there -- as part of a staging effort.<P>If someone wearing a HiTec boot had used that suitcase to boost himself up onto the window sill, there'd be a LOT more evidence than simply a piece of glass on the top. I think Smit came up with that unlikely theory when he realized there was only one alternative: John was lying about when the window had been broken. More smoke and mirrors. More misdirection from team Ramsey.
