Depending on who is telling the story and when, either inside the door, or on the porch near the door.
There was also one early version where RG was allegedly in the house and saw it happen out a window.

The porch. He said when he was āshot atā his hand was on the door and he dove through it (so it was open when it was shot). LK testified it was 1, 2, turn lift and shoot 3.

The link is to an advertisement for egress windows with parts of the code pasted in there. There are parts not pasted in there.
One of the things that confuses me is you have said egress windows are because of Hurricane Sandy, but I think that is not the case, at least the evidence says otherwise. But heck, what do I know. Though I did actually go read the code on this.
The individual room egress has an exception for a fully sprinklered building. Having building sprinklers is not going to help you in a flood, so likely egress is for the reason that it has always been for, exiting in case of fire.
There was also an exception for existing construction not requiring them.
Do you agree now that there are stairs outside to/from the basement?
Maybe you can give SM some Google research lessons.
You should read the post above and the one below, or watch the trial again, because both the prosecution and the defense agree that is how the scene was.

Wait? Superman who was defending the world ran away and into the house?

That is what the evidence chain of custody is for. It was LE and the prosecutions job to make sure that the phone was not removed from its location prior to documentation. If it was, then they were responsible for documenting the original location, the officer that moved it, and presenting that situation during testimony. Instead, they presented the phone as having been on the table during the incident. That is the evidence on record.

At 12:21 during cross examination he is asked by the defense if he lost sight of RG at any time and he said āno, I did not.ā
I agree that making illegal recordings is unlawful. What I do not agree with is the assumption that there were illegal recordings made. There may be. There may be legal recordings. That has yet to be determined.

Listen closer at around 9:50 when he says āthere was a man to my right chasing a small dog aroundā who he identifies as Robert Goodwin. So RG was running around unobserved for a few minutes chasing Rosie before he got there.
Edited to clarify.

Incorrect. Bailey responded as a police officer to an active shooter and was not able to move into crime scene investigator until later. At one point the prosecutor asked a question if the phones could have been moved to keep them dry prior to Bailey marking their location. The answer was yes.
Yep. He admits he wasnāt focused on what RG was doing beyond noticing he was running around after the dog.

He also testified that it was his job to control all the evidence and interview all the officers on the scene as to what they did/didnāt do/ etc as to handling and processing evidence. If the phone was moved, then he would have interviewed the officer who moved the phone and have taken note of itās original location. If the phone was moved, and no one did/could account for that, then it was police negligence that was admitted to on the stand and it was incorrect of him to misrepresent the situation with the phone during his original testimony.
Instead he presented testimony that the phone was found on the table as photographed.
We are back to crappy forensics on the part of the police.

I would assume that she has a better idea of them being illegal than you do.

He did no such thing. He asked him if that was the location he found them in, yes, if he put plastic bags over them, or placed the item into a plastic bag, to keep them dryā¦which the answer was yes. They looked at phones and then they moved on to LKās clothes. Upon cross the defense confirmed the white phone on the table was Michaelās and then nobody brought up phones on redirect. And no testimony that he interviewed any officer on scene that said they moved them or identify an original position of any phone.
ETA: Defense asked if those phones under the umbrella (LK/RGās) were photographed in the exact location in which they were found. Answer correct. Iāve relistened three times today. No one suggested the phones were not in their original positions.

Existing structures are grandfathered in. So depends on when code was changed as opposed to when work was initially done.
