There are other videos on line where misfired have taken up to 28seconds to discharge.
Please when you are stating facts stick to facts unless you can substantiate what it is you are saying. Stating that he loaded 3 rounds.
In fact he stated he loaded 2 rounds. Unless you can show where Mr Stanely mentioned he loaded three rounds stick to the facts. Unless you propose it as a theory. Then State it as such.
This is how the truth gets stretched and mismanaged and people get swayed with EMOTIONS.

Yet, not one of those videos shows a fully seated cartridge experiencing a hangfire, pus a subsequent deformed casing, and this was the argument put forth by the defense. It was one of the firearms experts who later suggested an "out of battery" discharge, and neither he nor the other expert could explain how this occurred.
No one is stretching or distorting the truth. Mr. Stanley testified to shooting two to three rounds into the air. One round discharged into Boushie. Three empty casings were found by the RCMP; two on the driveway and one in the car. Simple mathematics tells us he loaded at least three cartridges into the clip, unless the clip was not empty when he retrieved it.
