Time for another video segment. Check this one out:

As you will be able to see, this was from the Bill Kurtis A&E program. The cameraman positioned himself in the southeast corner of the windowless room, in the dark, and then photographed Bill and Dave Williams as they opened the door.
What this clip makes real, which abstract words are not so capable of doing, is just what the light levels were in that room, even when the hallway light was on. I made these two particular frame grabs from the video:
Look at the second picture. You will see that when a person is standing in the doorway, there is even less light cast into the room than there is when nobody is standing there. And even when nobody is standing directly in the doorway, there is very little light.
Now, another aspect to what this video reveals comes when the cameraman repositions himself in the doorway of the room, and films from the northwest corner into the southeast. Here is what he sees:
There is a reference mark on the floor we will use later. Here it is:
Here is a photo of the blanket JonBenet's body was laying on inside the room.
Do you see the reference mark from the second picture? Here, this will help:
I must say, I had been assuming that JonBenet's body was placed much closer to the door than was true. But this evidence shows how she was really laying not immediately inside the door, but a noticeable distance away in the southeast corner of the room. With the light level so demonstrably low in that part of the room, no wonder Fleet White saw nothing. But even more interesting, what we can see from these facts is that John also, even with the hallway lit up brightly behind him, should not have been able to see her, unless his eyes were immediately able to adapt to both the bright light of the hallway and the intense darkness of the room. Of course, if he turned on the light she would have been visible, but he has been adamant about saying that he opened the door and there she was, right there.
Thoughts?
(Bonus observation: see the item circled in this picture?)
(That is the same item which appears in this picture.)
