Maybe people are smarter than we give them credit for, after all.
SA could have been holding her bathing suit straps in the back while she was in a flying position and lost his grip on them.
So strange that both parents reportedly advised Grandpa to refuse the toxicology tests. I would certainly want to know, in their place, if Sam were impaired by medication or substance. I get that they felt protective of him but surely their daughter comes first.
Medstudies, I think that she was held "dangling over the void" when she fell, not on the ledge, though she may have briefly stood on it at some point. In the video it looks as though Sam's head is out of the window himself, so it appears that she was already past the window frame, held by his left arm. And David Begnaud, who likely saw a larger, clearer version of the film, said to Sam that jurors would think that holding Chloe OVER the railing was reckless. Begnaud makes no mention of her standing in the window frame at the time of the fall, though he earlier spoke of Chloe initially both standing and then sitting on the railing, IIRC.
I'm seeing that he's the Sergeant of the Cuerpo de Investigaciones Criminales de San Juan. Unfortunately it looks like their website is down, likely due to the recent earthquake, so I wasn't able to find an organizational chart that listed his position(s). My guess would be that he is the Sergeant as well as the director of sex crimes division and that this particular publication simply labeled him as the latter?
