RE: Identification of Booth's body
And, we are back to going in circles because you will never accept common sense or documentable facts. You also have the habit of not citing sources, and please do not try to use Gretchen Worden (now deceased) as one of your crutches because some of us knew and admired her.

As for the path of the bullet, I believe that I have cited before a very credible explanation that Mike Kauffman used. Booth started for the door to escape the flames, but movement onto his injured leg caused him to limp down on that side. Corbett had aimed for Booth's shoulder in order to have him drop the weapon, but the downward position caused by the limp changed the trajectory of the bullet.

My final comment here is: Have you visited Caroline County, Virginia, and mastered the road systems as they existed in April of 1865? Do you know the exact route that Luther Baker used in order to get to the John S. Ide? Have you considered that he may have strayed inadvertently in a wrong direction and used valuable time in getting back on the route?

I just bet that you would honestly have to reply NO to at least three of those questions -- so would I. Until you literally walk that walk and do the research to talk the talk, you will continue to have me disagreeing with you -- not that that will affect your paycheck...
