I think Albert's on to something here. There should be a simple enough way to find out how far PP was from the aluminum frame, that appears to extend from PP's head, and from the wall, if we can draw a straight line from the point of the frame, to the point where Darnell was standing. Given that line, and the fact that PP's elbow appears to be close to, or touching, the wall, straight trigonometry should tell us the distance from the frame to the head, and then from the window to the head.
The angle we need is Column-> Frame -> Darnell. The distance from PP's center to the wall (since the elbow is touching or very close to the wall, (probably 2 feet or thereabouts)) divided by the cosine of that angle, will tell us exactly how far the center of PP's head was from the frame. Then we multiply that distance, times the sine of that same angle, to find out how far PP is from the glass window.
If that distance is less than 5 feet, PP is standing on the landing, and cannot be Oswald. If that distance is more than 5 feet, PP is standing on a step.
