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

Backes continues to spread the myth that this is James Bookhout. It's not. It was taken at the Midnight Press Conference which Bookhout did not attend.

Here is Bookhout's testimony which establishes that he did not go to the Midnight Press Conference.

Mr. STERN - When the lineup was concluded, what happened next, as far as you were concerned? 
Mr. BOOKHOUT - I returned to the homicide and robbery bureau. 
Mr. STERN - Was Oswald brought back there, or taken elsewhere? 
Mr. BOOKHOUT - I don't recall specifically whether he was brought back to the homicide and robbery bureau, or placed in jail, but I do know that I didn't interview him any more that day. 
Mr. STERN - Did you have any further contact with him that day? Friday? 
Mr. BOOKHOUT - No. 
Mr. STERN - When did you next see Oswald? 
Mr. BOOKHOUT - Well, it would be on the morning of November 23, 1963, in the homicide and robbery bureau. 

OK, so with the conclusion of the 4 PM lineup on Friday afternoon, Bookhout did not see Oswald again until Saturday morning. And that means he skipped the Midnight Press Conference.  

I have pointed this out before to Backes, but as I've told you, the truth means nothing to him. He just lies and manipulates at will. 

Here is another image of the man he falsely claims to be Bookhout.

Again I'll point out that he is obviously not a 50 year old man. He looks much younger than that; probably in his 30s. And interestingly, he had a web-like ear.

Do you see what I mean about his ear? James Bookhout did not have an ear like that.

Look at that difference! That's like night and day! Backes is lying through his teeth! That guy is NOT James Bookhout. 

The only valid images we have of James Bookhout from the time of the assassination appear in this video. He is the short man in the dark fedora hat.
