I just find it hard to buy that he would shut up for all those years.
- Ridiculous reason for shutting up -- "There were more than enough people there and I could not see what I could contribute."
- Zero corroboration of his statements by Moriarty (who couldn't remember in 1986 "how he had traced Tatum"), including the claim that he actually owned a 1964 red Galaxie.
- Failure of being seen by any other witness (e.g. Clemons, Markham, Cimino, Burt, WA Smith, Scoggins) at the scene.
- Lying about seeing the killer walk in an easterly direction on 10th Street (cf. Burt & WL Smith).
- Absurdity of the belated coup de grace witnessed by no one else.
- Nonsense about giving personal comfort to Markham and taking her "to the police station to give evidence."
