If a crime is commited in a doorway, can it be considered an open and shut case?

If it wasn't here say. 

That depends on where that doorway leads

A doorway into a basketball stadium? Slam dunk.

You have it all wrong: unless a crime is committed near a window, plaintiffs cannot file suit for pane and suffering. 

(Brush up on your statutes, kiddo.  I'm not even an attorney and I knew that one!  By the way, I want back every penny of the $12,500 retainer I paid you. There's no way I'm letting you defend me on that murder charge after I read this question of yours.)

No, because it's kind of hard to shut the door when there's a dead body in the doorway, not that I would know. After all,  I don't have any personal experience removing dead bodies from doorways.  I had to get Randy to do it for me, oh wait, I didn't say that.  You didn't hear me say that, OK?
