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

I have often relished the thought of somebody having taken a photo of the TSBD doorway from up close, showing Oswald as clear as a bell, from the corner of Houston and Elm. 

Why not? It was a great place to take a picture. And we know very well that Tina Towner caught the doorway in her film, although for some reason, and not an innocent one by my estimation, it appears black. You can't see a thing. I wonder why. 

But, what about a still picture? Couldn't someone have taken a still picture at that moment and caught the doorway up close?

It's the kind of picture which, if he found it, Joseph Backes would destroy, even though he claims to believe that Oswald was innocent. I kid you not; he would take a match to it. 

But, it turns out that such a picture WAS TAKEN. 

It was taken by a man named HUGH BETZNER. He stood at the southeast corner of Elm and Houston and he took three pictures, and it's possible that all three showed the doorway. But, the likelihood that at least one of them did is virtually certain. 

His film was confiscated by the FBI. 

Where do they get the nerve to do this? We have a thing called property rights in the United States. And what is wrong with people that they submit to this kind of tyranny? In what way, shape, or form is this a free country if that's the way it is? 

The negative roll of film, after developing, was returned to Mr. Betzner on November 25. But, that's where it ends.

What happened to those pictures? Why weren't they part of the official record? Why weren't they included and acknowledged in the FBI and Warren Commission investigations? How come we have never seen those pictures? 

Those Betzner pictures showed Lee Harvey Oswald in the doorway, and I mean up close and personal. And that is why we have never seen them and why most have never even heard of them. 

So, I got my wish about the up-close pictures of Oswald having been taken. I just didn't get to see them.
