“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”
Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.
Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

I can’t see the hair that you’re splitting here. If proof is deniable, then it’s not beyond reasonable doubt.
There is a room with a candy bar in it, a biometric scan to enter, and a camera outside the only door.
You scan your retina to go in, you come out a few moments later, and after 5 minutes a security guard goes in, finds the room intact, and also sees the candy bar gone.
By deductive reasoning, you took the candy bar beyond a reasonable doubt.
There is a remote possibility that after you left and before the guard arrived, a mission impossible crew came in from the ceiling and took the candy bar specifically to frame you. Or perhaps the entire candy bar quantum tunnelled or was teleported by aliens in an event that denies conventional understanding.
The guy you replied to is making this point. If it is in any way theoretically possible that guilt is in question, no execution. Reasonable doubt as a standard assumes the natural order of the universe and logic are preserved such that inferences are possible.
But that also seems like a foundation that “undeniable proof” would rest on. If the only way for a proof to be denied is for the “natural order of the universe and logic” to not apply, then there’s simply no such thing.
Focus on the Mission Impossible crew stealing the candy bar:
It’s simply preposterous. It’s not known to be impossible (like an alien candy bar abduction), though.
See what you mean though!
