Chapter 17 - THE RAILING

Forensic examination of the railing found bolts deliberately loosened.

Not snapped by my fall.

Someone removed fasteners before impact.

That sounded like premeditation.

Then records complicated it.

A subcontractor had loosened the section earlier to move drywall.

He claimed he reinstalled it.

Photographs at 3:12 suggested it stood upright.

Could have been resting without full bolts.

Construction sites are imperfect.

No fingerprint miracle.

No proof Caleb sabotaged railing.

Prosecutors refused to call it a trap.

Good.

The stronger case did not need theatrical engineering.

The question remained:

Did Caleb physically cause me to cross the open edge?
