RE: What Was The Role of David Herold
I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards the same thing he did. Turn and leave. I suspect the brutality of all the attacks may have gotten to him. He was big and strong enough to take out Robinson, but it wasn't supposed to happen like that. Just like Booth and Rathbone. The gun problem changed everything in midstream. Even Booth said reading about what happened there filled him "with horror". I'm sure Powell left thinking the gun problem botched things up.
