>Mary Lincoln Todd waits for Booth to do all of his theatrics, instead of immediately screaming "EVERYONE WITH A GUN SHOOT THAT MAN".

I think you're using videogame logic to analyze a human situation. People do not react that way.

Agreed! That would be an ideal response, but statistically how often does the ideal situation happen in the real world?

I would say it is equally likely that Booth did some parkour move to drop 15 feet and be minimally breaking his leg? Or, more likely, the adrenaline, and flight mode, after killing someone allowed him to not even feel the pain in the moment?
