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

Where did the idea come from that Oswald said he was in the lunch room during the shooting? He never said that. He said he was "out with Bill Shelley in front." So, where did the other come from? 

It came from FBI agents who heard him say that he was out with Bill Shelley in front but did not want to repeat it. Oswald said that he ate lunch in the downstairs lunch room BEFORE the assassination and that he went to the upstairs lunch room AFTER the assassination where he had his encounter with Truly and Baker. So, they just scrambled it into Oswald saying that he was in the lunch room DURING the assassination. Why? It's because they didn't want to admit that he said that he was out with Bill Shelley in front, which Fritz wrote down. 

How could Oswald know that Bill Shelley was out front unless he saw him there? And how could he see him there without being there himself? 

And why would Oswald get off work at 11:45, which was 45 minutes BEFORE the motorcade, and put off eating his lunch until 12:30, thereby missing the motorcade? Why would he do that? Why would anyone do it?  He had 45 minutes to eat his lunch, which was plenty of time to get it out of the way. And like everyone else, that is what he did. Name one other person who claimed to be eating at 12:30.  

These notes were written by Will Fritz for his own use, although he never admitted to having them.  And they are the sole direct evidence we have of where Oswald claimed to be during the shooting.
