I think one of the biggest issues I have with his theory (which I'll admit is certainly possible) is why John and Willard, if they were conspirators, would put themselves in the line of fire and then kill Joseph and Hyrum when a mob of people were coming to do that very thing.
ADD: it was also noted that very few “mob” members went up the stairs. And it sounds like they were very young and may have even been given alcohol to souse them up a bit (bolster their courage) to go into the building.
The seeming absence of gunshots in the room is worth noting. Unless there were repairs immediately after that hid some of the bullet hole signs. Joseph and Hyrum had several shots in them that hit home, but all the shots would have been close proximity anyway.
Perhaps the lack of shots was due to the “mob” knowing the other men were in there and not wanting to slay them unintentionally.
Taylor did get shot several times though and that seems like a huge risk to take rather than just wait outside and let the mob do their thing.
I don’t think Justin’s theory is impossible, I’d just like to see what else arises from his findings.
Based on your questions… I have to ask, did you watch the first documentary? Justin clearly presents how he feels the bullets were accounted for. JT’s wounds were from Joseph’s 6-shooter.
