Inside the cores are a heat-sensing charge. Not a small explosion, about the size of a pinhead, just big enough to open up both of your arteries. I’d say you’d be dead in 10-15 seconds…

The facts of the case are this: At midnight on August 6th, the defendants went into the barracks room of their platoon-mate, PFC William Santiago. They woke him up, tied his arms and legs with rope, and forced a rag into his throat. A few minutes later, a chemical reaction in Santiago’s body called lactic acidosis caused his lungs to begin bleeding. He drowned in his own blood and was pronounced dead at 32 minutes past midnight. These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed.
