Breaking a leg

[J. Beckert]

Quote:Don't be the person who claims that Booth was snatched from the stage by a lasso from his friends. The leg was broken only one way and the stronger evidence is by a falling horse.

I agree that the stronger evidence points to the leg being broken by a horse fall. I also have a lot of respect for the medical Doctor's who've chimed in stating that it may have very well been broken or fractured by the jump to the stage and because it's not a weight bearing bone, his escape was unhampered. His horse did roll, but did that finish the job? The horse roll story is not a given by itself ; not beyond a reasonable doubt anyway. I don't know and anyone who does is dead.
