Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Even if Wolper did string the various clips together to make it seem
somewhat "seamless" -- so what? Who cares? It's still ALL footage showing
Oswald in custody at City Hall on the same day (Nov. 22). IOW--big deal.

A better question might be: Why is such innocuous film editing the
slightest bit important to you, Ralph Cinque? 

Ralph Cinque:

Yes, that's who I am talking about: David Wolper presenting fragments of disparate films as one seamless footage. Who cares? I care. 

And what make you so sure that it was all from the same day? Why couldn't some of it have been November 23? 

I believe we only have images of Oswald in two outfits: his arrest outfit and his death outfit shortly before Jack Ruby killed him the morning of November 24. That means that any images of him from November 23 also involved his arrest outfit- unless you think he went naked. His arraignment for killing Kennedy wasn't until early in the morning of November 23, and he was still in his arrest clothes. 

But, there is nothing innocuous about the splicing that Wolper did. The fact that they were "editing" to that extent means that they weren't just showing footage; they were carefully controlling information- down to the individual frame. And who is to say that they didn't go inside individual frames to edit information? The fact is: they did- as in this goofy image of Lovelady making like Whistler's Mother when Oswald passed.
