[Virginia Ridgerunner]

From the manual, they were all supposed to fire their rounds into a group the size of a quarter. As it turned out, they were all over his chest.

.....As it turned out, they were all over his chest.

From the article: “Over his left breast clung a white square, about 2 inches by 2 inches, with a circle in the middle. “

Only one hole fell outside the circle, but still on the 2 inch target. I wouldn’t classify that as “All over his chest.”

Not necessarily. Those rounds could easily have been withing a quarter sized grouping upon entry. At what distance were the shooters stationed, how far apart were they and how far behind the convict was the piece of wood we’re looking at?
