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

Here is another time in the same interview in which Frazier said he was standing one step down from the top.

Mr. BALL - Did you wear a coat or jacket to work that morning?
Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. BALL - It was chilly, was it?
Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; it was.
Mr. BALL - When you stood out on the front looking at the parade, where was Shelley standing and where was Lovelady standing with reference to you?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, see, I was standing, like I say, one step down from the top, and Mr. Shelley was standing, you know, back from the top step and over toward the side of the wall there. See, he was standing right over there, and then Billy was a couple of steps down from me over toward more the wall also.

"I was standing, like I say, one step down from the top."

That's plain English. It means what it means. 

So, when later he said he was "back in the shadows," he was shucking and jiving and churning. He was just grasping for an explanation for why he wasn't seen in the Altgens photo, which he should have been if he was one step down from the top.

Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir; I don't, because I was back up in this more or less black area here.
Mr. BALL - I see.
Mr. FRAZIER - Because Billy, like I say, is two or three steps down in front of me.

Two or three steps down in front of you, eh Wes?

Mr. Ball: On which step were you standing?
Mr. Lovelady: It would be your top level.

Frazier said nothing about whether he wore his jacket in the doorway, which he did. 

Mr. BALL - Usually when Lee walked in the Building in the morning, when you came to work with him where did he go, do you know?
Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir. He just walked in, say, like inside the Building, and like I say I always went and put my lunch up and hang my jacket or coat up, whichever I wore, and he was usually around there on the first floor there after some of them put their lunch in the refrigerator, so far as that I never paid too much attention to what he usually did.

The above statement is in reference to his usual routine, the simple fact that he didn't wear his jacket or coat while he worked inside. It has no bearing on what he wore when he was outside in the doorway.

And then, he added this:

Mr. FRAZIER - Some boys hang their jackets up in there in that little domino room where they were going to play dominoes. But here lately, I have been wondering, you know, most of us wear our jackets, what we have on, because if you are going out there on a dock in the cold air we usually keep them on.

Here is Frazier's testimony. It says nothing about his jacket being in the basement at the time of the assassination:

It's pure dis-info. It is manipulative, dishonest word-parsing, a biased and unwarranted extrapolation by a paid agent of the fascist state.
