I also find it very believable that he dangled her over, even if he then replaced her feet on the ledge while he quickly went inside and possibly waited for that accident to happen.
What I have trouble believing, for some reason, is that he was strangling/choking her as transcribed. I really find this hard to accept because of the way she responds in the transcripts. I keep guessing that perhaps he did tackle or pin her down in a hold but not choked her by putting both hands to her throat... because I know I'd run straight to the front door and get the heck out, I reckon. It baffles me.
Hi Kara-curious ... welcome!
I think that you are presuming that he choked her then let completely go of her. I don't personally believe that is the case. I am very uncomfortable about what was going on in those seconds after the 1st scream, and the seconds after the 2nd scream, before the 3rd and final scream as Warriena was falling.
I can picture his arm around her, covering her screaming mouth, and her biting that hand to release it.
There is one incident of (presumably) Warriena banging the glass trying to resist being dragged onto the balcony. I feel that if her movements were free, she would have been banging on that glass and screaming a heck of a lot more than that. Making all kinds of commotion to attract attention. She was going to call the police on him anyway - if she made enough commotion maybe a neighbour would call them.
