If Booth was standing near the wall, or against the wall, and had his arm partially extended, it would be very close indeed.

Jim,

Do you think Booth shot over the back of the rocker or from one side or the other?

If Lincoln was sitting back in the rocker would his entire head be above the back of the rocker?
