Musical chairs in the State Box?

[loetar44]

I’ve tried to visualize the route via the (closed) door of box 7 and via the (easy to open) door of box 8. Lincoln's head was leaning slightly forward and turned somewhat to his left. I’ve pictured Lincoln as a black silhouette. IMO: if Booth took the route via 7 he was bumped into the rocker and could not see Lincoln. If Booth took the route via 8 he had a clear view of Lincoln, and was able to jump quicker across the railing (after fighting Rathbone). Did Booth push Mary aside when he passed her?
