Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

[JMadonna]

IMO the shot occurring when it did not pre planned. It was one of those moments when time was frozen and remembered.

As I said in a previous post - Booth could not have known Lincoln was unguarded. If he had been he could have expected a quick pat down before meeting the president at an appropriate break in the play. Which is another argument against your hidden gun theory Joe. Sorry about that.

Parker's absence gave Booth the opportunity to shoot when he wanted - but it could not have been pre-planned
