I don’t see a time bar on the NBC version, but if you look at the posting of this video by NYT and go to the 1:07 mark there is a still frame in which you can see Scott with his back to the camera, left arm straight down but right arm elbow crooked with his hand at his front waistband. Right after that there is a barrage of shots.
At 1:08 the gun is in his hand, he's cradling it but not extending it.
And .. the forensic tests of the “weapon” - which is clearly visable in the video - while the wife was swearing her husband didn’t have one; was found to have Scott’s blood and his fingerprints.
SOOOOOO .. THERE WAS A WEAPON .. AND THE FORENSICS PROVE HE HELD IT AND HIS BLOOD WAS ON IT INDICATING HE PROBABLY HAD IT IN HIS HAND WHEN HE WAS SHOT.
CASE OVER !!!!!!!
And .. there was NO BOOK.
