Whaley said he didn't wear a watch and guessed the time, and gave an approximation which could be 15 mins out. That's a fact isn't it?
He didn't only mention the blue items of clothing but mentioned a brown shirt, which he later identified, and a white T shirt underneath. Marina said LHO owned a blue jacket.
There is a lot of discussion about the jackets (CE162 & 163) I know and there are questions to be answered but don't think you can dismiss Whaley's testimony as it stands.
Was this age "discrepancy" unremarkable (SoP, of a guy seen below correcting the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS over a single year) or was fraud committed against Whaley's military draft board?
