Was Lee Oswald the passenger in Whaley's Taxi?

[John Iacoletti]

He couldn't tell time, figure out what block he let his passenger off at, remember the actual name of the cross street, and his observational skills were lousy.

But when he pointed out the guy in an unfair lineup . . . well, you can take that to the bank!

Would you be referring to the line up in which Whaley recognized that  quote "They were trying to frame him" unquote  ??

The lineup where Whaley reported Oswald saying that they were trying to railroad him -- which they were.

No......Oswald didn't say they were trying to railroad him.....  That was Whaley's observation and Whaley's opinion.

"He knew they were trying to railroad him".... and he was protesting...   Whaley's testimony.

Mr. WHALEY. He showed no respect for the policemen, he told them what he thought about them. They knew what they were doing and they were trying to railroad him and he wanted his lawyer.

They knew what they were doing and they were trying to railroad him

The above is Whaley's opinion.....and he recognized that Lee was being railroaded.....

Lee told the police what he thought of them..... 

Yes, I'll bet he did....   and I wouldn't blame him. He knew that the line ups were rigged and he stuck out like a dandelion on a putting green ......

they knew what they were doing

"They knew what they were doing".....    Did the cops tell Whaley "what they were doing"  ( rigging the line up)  or was that Whaley's observation?

they were trying to railroad him    Did Lee tell the cops and the viewers of the line up that they were railroading him? ...or was that Whaley's observation?     Personally, I doubt that Lee would have told the cops that they were railroading him....I believe that was Whaley's observation ( And a blind man could have seen that the lineup was rigged.)

He wanted his lawyer     Since Lee had also said this at the midnight parade in which Ruby couldn't get close enough to kill Lee Oswald ...I have no doubt that Whaley did hear Lee protesting his rights to legal representation.

Personally, I doubt that Lee would have told the cops that they were railroading him.

Why?
