So many things in this episode didn't ring true. Warning spoilers ahead!!!!
1. I don't think Flint would have shot to kill that "horse thief" so quickly, without at least shouting "Stop or I'll shoot!".
2. If I were falsely accused of being a horse thief, I wouldn't go for my gun but throw up my hands and shout "No!! No!!!! I'm not stealing this horse" and then explain I was buying it.
3. Not plausible that the wagon master and other wagon train witnesses would not try to determine exactly who shouted "horse thief", especially since a man was killed.
4. Weird that Flint didn't tell the widow about the death of her husband and that he was the shooter sooner, very much out of character for Flint.
Whole episode very hard to swallow.
