The Last Shot

[RJNorton]

I really enjoyed chapter 9. This chapter discusses whether or not Booth was shot by Boston Corbett (or someone else) or committed suicide. The chapter's conclusion is that no one can know with 100% certainty. It could have happened either way. Although I continue to believe Corbett fired the fatal shot, this chapter clearly shows how Booth could have shot himself. For many years I felt this was impossible (based on Dr. Lattimer's analysis), but Bill and Rick clearly show that it was physically possible for Booth to have committed suicide.
