George was not known for his sartorial splendor. It seems he had a more casual attitude as regards appearance.

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.

Thank you, Roger and Eva, for your kind words. This was exactly the point of the article in its original form; to demonstrate that it was mechanically possible for Booth to have shot himself. In the original, we make use of my son as a model to show how it could have been easily done.
