If that's not an error of judgement I don't know what is. I think JWB was desperate to do this, and when push came to shove, he probably would have chosen a performing monkey if he thought it would shoot Johnson. Sometimes you just have to work with what you've got, and make the best of it. Booth didn't have much to work with, he didn't plan on breaking his leg, he miscalculated community support, his escape plans were weak, and he was inexperienced in this type of activety. Worst of all, he didn't properly anticiapte the consequences of his actions. There is a potential business book here. "Booth on Miss-Management" So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
