Thank you-- that's exactly what I want.

They can totally leave John and Bo alive if they want to.

We assume Bo is dead because he is not moving, but if he is not dead, he could have sufficient survival instincts to play possum. For John, as others have said, survival would require being found and administered anti-biotics soon. And still the odds would not be good, but not zero.

If Bo did survive, he might not go to jail if John is dead. Killing John? His lawyer could make the case that was Raylan and Ava. Kidnapping Ava, and trying to shoot Raylan? Same lawyer could argue that Ava and Raylan came out to kill him, he acted self-defense. Boyd's testimony? Boyd is batshit crazy, and evidence for this can probably be gathered. All the people in Boyd's church camp? Remembered, Boyd buried them. Could be argued that Boyd was the one who went even crazier and killed them.

Not a defense that I think would work in the real world. But in cop-show bizarro alterna-world where the system is stacked in favor of criminal defendents, and cops are continually martyred by stupid regulations designed to let the bad guys go free, it might work.

[Edited because apparently no fancy French spellings for the Crowders. When I was in Houston anyone I knew called 'Bo' was because it was a nickname. Or a term used to address strangers. People for who it was an actual name, were called "Beau" Or "Beauregard" by their parents.]

People for who it was an actual name, were called "Beau" Or "Beauregard" by their parents.

Or, I suspect, "Beaumont".

Our family has both. It took someone who married in forever to get Bo's name spelled right. My cousin finally explained to her, "It's the redneck spelling, not the yuppie New Orleans spelling!" (Cousin's son is the Beau in the family).

I've also known a few Bo-spelled Bos who were originally Boaz.

I've known at least one Boe and one Bow, short for Bowman. The Boe was a family last name used as a middle, and a generation after that as a first name.

We had a Bo/Beau. I have no idea what the "real" spelling was. I always thought it was Beau, but my part of the fam were readers; I saw it both ways.

He wrote me from prison sometime (GTA, heroin smuggling) but he always signed it "Your cousin." I dunno if HE knew!

I've known of a couple Beauregards that went by Bo instead of Beau. I had a cat that I named Beau but everyone spelled it Bo. Then again I am related to a Jonnie. That's the given name, not Jon, not John, not Jonathan.

I was thinking it was probably Bo because of Boyd and Bowman. And the probability is high that Johnny's name on his birth certificate says Johnny. His dad is probably John, so they named him Johnny. That seems like it would make sense to the Crowders.

I believe it. Heck, I know a man named Junior.

I knew someone who's name is Bobby. That's what it is on his birth certificate.
