On March 2, 2016, prosecutor asked the Russian court considering the case of Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko to sentence her to 23 years in a prison colony. Savchenko is accused of working as a spotter for Ukrainian artillery fire that killed Russian journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin.
However, videos provided by pro-Russian fighter Egor Russkiy who
filmed the capture of Nadiya Savchenko contain undeniable proof that by
the time Russian journalists were killed Nadiya had already been
captured and thus is not guilty of their murder.
This was the conclusion made by Russian astronomer Olga Vozyakova (gave testimony to the court) and experts of the Kyiv Forensic Institute (expert analysis text).
This post summarizes those expert assessments while using a
simplified technique of determining the time a video was filmed; a
technique any reader can easily reproduce.
