RE: Time for a memorial honoring Boston Corbett?
I doubt that Booth tried to shoot himself, with a very awkward shot with the gun upside down, etc. I think the downward track of the bullet (FROM CORBETT) caught him crouching,( to make a smaller target. )
Booth could not see his opponents, but they had good shots at him - he was lit up by the fire.
I'll bet that when Corbett shot him, ha danced around yelling "I got him. I got him", thinking he would get the reward.

This is all guessing, but I believe it explains the results, and sticks to logic.
