New Eyewitness Account?

[kerry]

Hey, attorney here! (non-practicing, if that's any defense!)

I agree the Laura Keene story sounds rather silly. However, the evidence for it seems pretty strong. What possibly happened was that she went in with water and was standing over him with it, or sitting by him, and his head was kind of lolling around awkwardly as they worked on him. The doctors wanted the water and thus tolerated her presence. She may have asked if she could hold his head to 'comfort' him, not knowing if he was possibly aware in any way. After a few minutes, they asked her to leave, and the doctors took his head to examine it. Just a thought.

She was spotted sitting with Mary, trying to comfort her. Perhaps Mary was the one who reached out for his head, and Keene was next to her, and people got confused? She may have been cradling his head rather than actually putting it in her lap.

It seems clear she did enter the box very soon after the shooting with water, in any event.
