First, she says that she talks to Buell Frazier often, and he says that Lee wasn't on the steps. But, Buell Frazier has a 51 year history of saying that, and for him to say otherwise now, would mean reversing himself after half a century. Buell Frazier isn't Solomon. Buell Frazier wasn't even consistent about where HE was in the doorway. When first asked, he said this:
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.
But, Lovelady said he was standing "on your top level." That's what he told Joseph Ball. And Doorman was definitely standing on the top level. Look at the opening of the Wiegman film, where you can see Doorman standing on the top landing.
So, the very first thing Frazier ever said about it did not make sense.
And at the Shaw trial, Frazier gave a different account:
Q: Let me impose on you one more time and ask you to leave the witness chair and come down here and point out where you viewed the parade from. Would you do that, please?
A: Right here. It is the main entrance right here. There in the shadows you have several steps and a rail, and I was standing right there at the top of the rail.
And in a lecture in 2013, Frazier said that Lovelady was at the bottom of the steps. So, Frazier has been terribly inconsistent in his testimony about all these things. Again, to think that he's Solomon is ridiculous.
Then, Gayle said that Jones Harris, when interviewing Lovelady, saw the shirt that Lovelady wore that day. Not true, Gayle. They discussed it; that's all. Nothing was shown.
Eyewitness testimony should be enough? Gayle, it was a show trial. Out of 75 TSBD employees, they found 3 who were willing to ID Doorman as Lovelady, and Frazier was one of them. But, Lovelady was NOT one of them. In fact, Lovelady wasn't even asked who Doorman was. Instead, strangely enough, he was only asked to draw an arrow to himself in the photo, and he did so: to another figure whom we call Black Hole Man.
But, in the article by Don Bonaparte and Jones Harris that was published in the New York Herald on May 24, 1964, they stated that there were witnesses who did recognize Oswald in the doorway who were not allowed to testify to the Warren Commission.
And it's understandable because even one witness who testified to seeing Oswald in the doorway would have destroyed the entire Warren Report. It would have eviscerated the whole thing. So, they couldn't allow it.
Confirmed evidence by investigators should be enough? But, Oswald was framed and innocent. According to Joseph Backes, Oswald was framed and innocent of killing Kennedy, of killing Tippitt, and even of riding the bus and cab. So, what confirmed evidence of investigators are you talking about?
And why didn't Oswald scream that he was standing in the doorway? But, he did. He told police that he was "out with Bill Shelley in front." But, you think he should have screamed it to reporters in the hall? But, he didn't know that his picture had been taken in the doorway. Nobody told him. And by that, I mean that nobody ever told him about the controversy. On the night of November 23, FBI agents went to ask Lovelady about it, but why didn't do the same with Oswald? Why didn't they go to him and get his opinion? Oswald told police that he was out with Bill Shelley in front, and he must have meant DURING the shooting because Shelley wasn't out there after the shooting. After the shooting, Shelley left for the railroad tracks with Lovelady. They were part of the throng that did that. And then they went around to the back and re-entered there, and they remained inside doing stuff until it was time to go to City Hall at 1:45. So, there is no chance that Shelley was out in front when Oswald left for home. So, Oswald could not have seen him out front then, which means he must have seen him DURING the motorcade.
Finally, Gayle brought up the testimony of James Jarman who said that Oswald was not with them when they were watching the motorcade. But Gayle, James Jarman was at the window on the 5th floor when he was watching the motorcade. He was outside for a little while, but then, he and Harold Norman changed their minds and decided to watch the motorcade from a window. So, they walked down the length of Houston Street, around the building, to re-enter through the back door and take the elevator up to the 5th floor, and then walk across the expanse of the 5th floor to the northeast window, and they got there in time to watch the motorcade and be photographed there.
So, there was no way he was going to see Oswald in the doorway. Oswald was undoubtedly among the last to get out there.
But, in addition to that, you left out the most important thing that James Jarman said, which is that earlier in the morning, Oswald asked him why people were gathering on the sidewalk outside. Jarman had to tell him that the President was going to be riding by. Oswald didn't even know that JFK would be passing the TSBD that day. So, how could he have made plans to shoot him?
Gayle, everything you said was either factually wrong or misconstrued. Everything. You didn't get one thing right.
It was Oswald in the doorway. It's his gaunt face; his slender build; his outer shirt shirt with the open sprawl and the exposed white t-shirt, his notch in the t-shirt, his stance, and his expression. It can't not be him.
