And of course the difference between those two scenarios would be obvious with the phone in hand, since the numbers would be stored in different places. Were the cabbie's number in the numbers dialed register, I believe that the cabbie would be in custody now.

What's wrong with the cabbie's statement??

John is surely a creature of habit. He has been traveling this DC/Wilmington/New Castle route for years.

If the cabbie saw him twice in two days, then he saw him 50 times in 100 days.

In other words, "I've seen him a lot of times" would have probably been a more appropriate answer,

I'm just pondering this because the cabbie "pulled back" and said "That's all I know"....like if he talked anymore, he'd see the same fate.

...[a stored number vs. a dialed number] would be stored in different places. Were the cabbie's number in the numbers dialed register, I believe that the cabbie would be in custody now.

Good point.
