This short clip shows the moment the shot hit Charlie. It appears the shot was synchronized to Robinson's .30-06 cover shot. While not definitive, what is clear is that the hit drove Charlie to his left and off his chair. Someone has to have better video.

No one secured the crime scene and the FBI didn't arrive until 18 minutes after the shooting. Indeed, the entire crime scene was corrupted immediately and now they have stripped the entire...
