RE: Booth autopsy
Joseph knows that I am not going to agree with him, but I will make one point that might tip in his favor a tad (only a tad, Joe): On the Surratt bus tours, Mike Kauffman used to say that Boston Corbett aimed for Booth's shoulder in order to get him to drop the weapon. However, when Booth limped to one side, the bullet hit his neck instead.

Is it possible that the same scenario could have occurred when Booth held his revolver to his temple, his leg gave way, and the position of the gun shifted downward at the moment he pulled the trigger?

I will continue to harbor my ages-old thought that Booth had every intention of being taken alive, thought that the orders would be to bring him back alive, was grandstanding until the doors would open and he would be captured, and then would be taken to Washington where he "thought he could clear his name." Okay, y'all, draw your mental revolvers and start firing shots at my opinion...
