[@Warrior1Spartan]

Considering it's a state courtroom and not a federal one they wouldn't get the death penalty because NY outlawed it in 2004, but maybe that wouldn't matter. As I understand it, convicts in prison have very specific rules when it comes to crime. And one of those rules is to not hurt children. Even if they'd gotten life in prison, odds are they wouldn't live long enough to grow a single grey hair.

As somebody who is interested in the film industry, how would you successfully shoot a scene like that where you have a prop bag over someone’s head? How do they breathe practically?

[@tessiegesch8677]

Probably a series of holes in the bag that are on the side away from the camera If not There has to be a way to rig it so there’s an oxygen source in the bag, probably condensed oxygen going through a tube on the side away from the audience with a holes releasing CO2

[@tessiegesch8677]

The bags also don’t look particularly tight, they might not encapsulate the whole head. Allowing airflow from the back or sides. Also the bodies with them are only on camera for a short time so they might’ve just timed it right
