Man says he lied when he testified against inmate who is set to be executed in c/[email protected]

I don’t believe pointing out a case where certainty is ensured missed the point; rather, it argues the point. He’s giving an example where execution would be okay due to their being absolute certainty, not arguing that it should be the same outcome where there isn’t absolute certainty.

North/south would be latitude, so they could easily and accurately position them correctly with respect to that aspect.

You are wrong, those are 5.45x39mm being fired out of an ak-74. 7.62x54r are much bigger and don’t have an associated Bakelite mag like the one used, and on top of that they aren’t fire out of AKs. The only thing close is a molot hunting rifle.
