I will put it this way, imagine we are brothers and we are in a cafe reminiscing good times. Then I tell you, remember when you stole those cookies from cookie jar? You said it was me even though I know you hadn't seen me steal them after we had dinner that night. In this case "I know" means that I remember what happened till today. other examples: -I know he closed the door and made sure the man hadn't seen him there. -I know Robert hand't seen a flying saucer before we went camping that weekend. in THIS CASE I know = I remember, I know the facts NOW.
