All of this is off topic, so if a mod knows of an appropriate thread and if they think necessary, perhaps they could move this post.I hardly know where to begin.
Using the word "magically" only shows your opinion, not anything concrete. How long would it take to scoop up some glass? It's not a very big hole. There were a piece or two of glass on the floor - FW even picked up one. You really think that glass had been there for 6 months?
JR wasn't leaving the "intruder" with no point of entry, he was leaving the possibility of an intruder with a key. I will agree that he could have unlocked a door providing a fictional entry point that was believable. Why he chose to leave only the entry by key scenario I don't know (then of course in your further comments you provide other methods of entry) He had to unstage a partially staged window, otherwise it becomes all too obvious that it was a staged rather than real entry point.
May I ask if you believe a millionaire lived with broken window for several months, and let the cold air and snow blow through it, despite it being in the train room where Burke played regularly? I need to also ask whether you actually believe someone came through that basement window. Finally I need to ask if you believe JR took off his suit, and jumped down the window well, put his shoes back on, kicked a hole in the window, shimmied himself through the window, but can't quite remember whether or not he was in his skivies, can't quite remember whether or not he drove his own car (in which case he'd have his garage door opener) or whether he took a cab? Do you think LHP is lying when she says she has no recolection of cleaning up any glass? And do yo blieve the housekeeper did such a poor job that some glass is still there 6 months later? Finally I have to ask why JR seems downplaying the window as entry point when he's talking to the police on the 26th, but later, when LS is on his side he's pushing the window as entry point.
At any rate there are not nearly as many problems with Doc's theory as compared to IDI.
IOWs there really isn't a problem with JR unstaging the window then saying the doors and windows were locked, still plenty of possible entry points.
Re: the flashlight. I'm afraid that it won't much matter if one wants to pretend the flashlight belonged to LE or an intruder. There still, as far as we know, is only one maglite. If LE/Intruder left theirs, then the Rs would be in the drawer where they kept it. The other would be on the counter. We don't know with 100% certainty it was the Rs FL, but we can be highly certain. The Rs admit it could be theirs.
This case isn't about possibilities, it's about probabilities.
Chrishope, sorry but I missed this when you posted it. I’m not sure if I can answer all your questions and points without going into some length. But, I’ll try. Remind me of what I miss, or otherwise don’t address and I WILL reply. I don’t know if I have time to cover everything now.

Mr Ramsey had no reason to stage an entry point of any kind. All he had to do was say that there was an unlocked door. It’s effortless, risk free and cannot be disproved, and it is the OBVIOUS thing to do.
But, let’s pretend that he decided to stage a break-in regardless.
There is no evidence to show that the window had been broken the night of the murder or that it had been cleaned up that morning. Docg would be better off to argue that Mr Ramsey chose to stage an entry/exit point at that specific location because he knew the window was already broken. If an intruder was looking for an easy way in, this was it; plus, Mr Ramsey already knew from his own experience that this entry/exit point would work.
Now, all Mr Ramsey has to do is make sure that the window is ajar, scoop out some debris and maybe tear a web or two, maybe reach into the window well with a broom handle and lift the grate and let it fall back down. Because if he was going to stage something at the window it would be that easy and that fast, and, he would do it all at once, not in stages as Docg suggests.
The inventory of evidence seized lists “four pieces of broken window.”
From the Steve Thomas book (emphasis added); p. 37 “Downstairs in the basement, another technician examined the broken window. Three windows, each eighteen-by-twenty-inch rectangles were in a row. The top of the pane in the center window was broken, and the screen was off. The tech noticed PIECES of glass OUTSIDE THE WINDOW and a scuff mark on the wall.”
I think it’s safe to assume that the PIECES listed in the inventory and those that the Technician noticed OUTSIDE THE WINDOW are the same pieces. You can see one of those pieces at 1:57 in the dailybeast video: http://tinyurl.com/8x5cp5a
This piece is clearly OUTSIDE THE WINDOW and is only one of four, and could not have been placed there by White (or, anyone) unless the window was open because when the window is closed it is flush with the frame so there is no interior ledge (see the dailybeast video).
I’ll address this glass “outside the window” later on (remind me), but for now let’s note that PIECES of glass outside the window contradicts Docg’s version of Mr Ramsey breaking the glass from the outside so that the glass falls to the inside.
This is too long already. And, I’m just starting. But, let me add this:
The police are called at 5:52. They arrive at 5:56. Mr Ramsey would have had to perform the un-staging of his incomplete staging before the first officer arrived. Perhaps this would explain why his un-staging was as incomplete as his staging: insufficient time; but the reality is that some aspects of the (incomplete) staging could not be un-staged (disturbance in window well) and other aspects that could have been, were not (debris from window well on floor).
As I said this is already too long and I haven’t even answered your questions yet! But, I am concerned about how off-topic mods (and others) might think we are. So, I take pause but if there are no complaints – I’ll come back to this later.
But, before I go, I’ll add one more thing (maybe two. )
There were alternative (less obvious) methods of entry that the police MIGHT discover, but staging a break-in demonstrates that Mr Ramsey realized it best to make that entry point obvious (even if we question the proposed methodology: staging window). It then makes no sense for him to remove or limit alternative obvious entry points by telling the police that the doors were locked after doing his (incomplete) un-staging of his (incomplete) staging.
