Vincent Bugliosi's 53 Reasons... #29 Refuted. - Ben Holmes - 12-28-2016
(29) After arrest, Oswald refused to even give his name to arresting officers.
A rather damaging admission on Bugliosi's part... since this establishes that Oswald was NOT carrying ID in the name of Hidell. (note that not a single believer will dare to debate this...)
It was not until 1973 that a refusal to give your name to an arresting officer became a misdemeanor in Texas (http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.38.htm) – and would never in a court of law be evidence of guilt in a murder case (or any other felony, for that matter)
Bugliosi goes on to state: "As a pretty consistent general rule, when a person is innocent of a crime, he cooperates with law enforcement." But that's simply nonsense... here, for example, is one lawyer's advice:
Quote:If I am innocent, shouldn't I make a statement and tell the police everything I know?
Answer: Absolutely not. When a person is innocent or has a valid defense such as self defense, it is common to want to explain your side of the story to police. However, even if you are innocent it is crucial that you nevertheless invoke your right to an attorney and your right to remain silent.

Bugliosi speaks as a prosecutor, and not as a defense attorney. This 'crime' on Oswald's part shows nothing at all.
