That I can see. I don't understand what you mean by "outsider".
I'm trying to understand why giving a single statement to the police and leaving the country (like the rest of the girls) would be bad in the guilt scenario. I can't myself see any negatives in it. You haven't pointed any, either.
Basically, what actually happened during those few days before the arrests doesn't support your guilt scenario logically.
You may claim it's possible that all of this happened because they were not acting reasonably at all, but in fact it weakens the guilt scenario even more.
First, it's expected that they would have kept alert and carefully stick to an alibi (like Guede did).
Second, if we acknowledge they instead acted unreasonably, it doesn't support guilt scenario at all. It is much more probable innocent person would act unreasonably, not carefully, having nothing to fear.

You don't know what I mean by "outsider"? Are we not all outsiders in this case? On the outside, looking in. That is what is usually meant by "outsider."
We can look it at from the outside and say, well, being guilty, or being innocent, she should have done this and done that. But it's hard for us to put ourselves into her prism of how she saw herself, and the prism through which she thought of how others would perceive her actions.
From her guilty view of herself, she would have seen the possible repercussions of her actions differently than how we on the outside view it or even think she should have viewed it. She had a different sensitivity to the fact that she was guilty (guilty perspective). She saw everything through that prism.
I have pointed out, repeatedly, what I think the negative repercussion of her leaving the country at that point were, coming from her point-of-view. It was a combination of two factors: her leaving might make her look suspicious (from her viewpoint of how others would perceive her), and her staying and being available to police would make her look innocent (from her viewpoint). So both of those lead to the goal of making herself seem as innocent as possible, from her point-of-view of how she thought others would view her actions.
This has nothing to do with acting unreasonably. I don't believe I said that, where did you get that word from what I posted?
They were acting reasonably, according to their own guilty perspectives, and their perspective of how others would view her actions.
What the problem was, is that that perspective did not match the way actual innocent people would act.
They were being perfectly reasonable relative to their own perspectives. It was actually their perspectives that were "unreasonable," because they should have viewed themselves as truly innocent and what truly innocent people would do, but of course that is difficult to do when you're actually guilty!!
Do you see how their actions might not come across as those of truly innocent people? Pretending to be innocent....but actually guilty. There is a disparity there, no?
