Handcuffs mean nothing.
Leavelle was "tethered" to Lee Oswald: that's something.
Those monochrome pictures are deceiving. Was it a white hat? Leavelle's shirt is white and appears a much lighter shade than the Stetson. Could be a very light-tan colored hat?
The thieves were named Gestas and Dismas.
I'm sure they were. In which of the "Gospels" do we learn this? From which Holy Bible? Gee, I didn't start out trying to draw a parallel, but if the sandal, Eisenhower jacket, cross etc. fits,..
But I digress.
It doesn't matter what color Leavelle's clothes really were. ( or that he was tethered)
It's the image, the perception. I did say "man in white" persona.
Odd, that you focused on the "visible" agony of Oswald in the second (later) photo.
As if he were being... that darn parallel thing again.
L.C. was in position to stop Ruby. 57 years later, the faithful discuss ..Leavelle.
Sad. But I won't Baal about it.
