When RL held that sign, I remember showing the photo to my husband and laughing that she felt it was in some way exonerative.
I had the same feeling about the Sunday night farce *cough*"investigation".
Not to mention the bag that was used in the reenactment was empty, where as Lisa's was not. I doubt any average female handbag that seems to hold far more inside than it would appear, especially when you're rushing to find keys in the rain - would be able to be folded in such a way.
Was their theory that the edge of the glass was too sharp and such it should be used? Or that, in her terror her most pressing thought was to ensure she didn't leave prints?
Lisa was packed, preparing an escape. I'd imagine her bag was too full to use this sort of hold.
I can't say with certainty that I recall a definitive statement about her bag being on her arm on the ground - but I find it being so close in proximity to her puts the handbag hold out of the question.
I used to live on the 32nd floor of an apartment in Sydney (many moons ago) and I dropped a sticky tape dispenser off it (in a poorly thought out attempt to put up fairy lights. Thankfully, no-one was injured, but the shattered dispenser was located a significant distance away from where I had anticipated.
I'm no physicist - but I imagine that even with the same initial trajectory, two objects with vastly different weights from such a height would most certainly not end up in the same spot.
Alas, my single story house in the burbs of Adelaide doesn't allow me the chance to experiment.
