Because they didn't have a Youtube video to refer to.

LOL

How do you know the recording hasn't been tampered with?

LOL.... Likely or Logical

No, he said "in Oak Cliff".


It is a fact that another cabbie was mentioned......

Remembered his watch that day...

Whaley is the only witness to have noticed the shiny wrist bracelet that Oswald was wearing.

All those other witnesses at the Tippet shooting scene, NONE mention seeing any bracelet. Even though they saw the shooter emptying his shells out and waving his gun in the air, ALL of them apparently failed to see the shiny bracelet.

Even AFTER Oswald (or another shooter) has apparently ditched his jacket under a car , no other witnesses saw a bracelet either. Not Johnny Brewer, not the ticket girl, not Butch Burroughs, not ANY apparently of the other people in the Texas Theater saw Oswalds shiny, bracelet.

Not even the struggling McDonald mentions seeing Oswald wearing a bracelet




But Whaley saw the bracelet:


Mr. BALL. Was there anything in particular about him beside his clothing that you could identify such as jewelry, bracelets?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir; he had on a bracelet of some type on his left arm. It looked like an identification bracelet. Just shiny, you know, how you see anything shiny, an unusual watchband or something shiny, you notice things like that.

So a rather noticeable shiny bracelet, according to Whaley, which was unnoticed by all the Tippet scene witnesses, and all the other witness afterwards, even McDonald standing right next to Oswald in the Texas Theater.

This seems remarkable imo, it seems to defy probability.

The word shiny appears in your post seven times but both records of Whaley's 23 November claims do not include that word, at all.

Pssssst....Zeon...... Anybody who saw this photo saw the bracelet......



There's only the BSer William Whaley's word that he saw a bracelet on his passenger's wrist.  Whaley said that his passenger was wearing BLUE workman's clothing....  A blue jacket and blue trousers.....

Lee Oswald was not wearing a Jacket.....and he was wearing a brown shirt and gray trousers.....

It's possible that Whaley's wino passenger was wearing a bracelet....   But it's equally possible that Whaley saw the photo  and used the bracelet to bolster his BS tale about transporting the killer.

 Whaley could have told his BSin cabbie buddies, "I had no idea he'd just murdered the President...why he could have killed me too"

Are you implying that Whaleys WC testimony using the word "shiny" was his own embellishment or someone coached him to add the  word?
Or he saw the photo as Walts suggest, later, and that's when Whaley added the word "shiny"?
