If two suspects in a murder case do NOT present discrepancies in their memories of events, then in all probability they are giving you a story they carefully rehearsed.
The idea that innocent people remember every detail correctly and always tell the truth openly and consistently is a total myth.
If ILE chose to do so, I promise you they could go through transcripts of Filomena and her boyfriend and find just as many discrepancies and lapses in memory. We just don't hear about those because ILE chose to accuse AK and RS (perhaps sincerely believing they were guilty).
As for "constantly making excuses" for these two, let's keep in mind the prosecutor couldn't even decide on a theory of the case; the theories he tried were preposterous (whether it be sex games or killing your flatmate over chores); two of the three conspirators had never met; and the so-called "ringleader" didn't speak the same language as either of her accomplices.
A discrepancy over whether a door was open is petty stuff considering the prosecution's case comes down to a few pieces of glass and a conspiracy that must have been made using mime.
This bears repeating, especially the Mime part.
