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

"Where were you on the night of the 21st?"

Sounds familiar, right? Doesn't it sound like something that a police detective on tv would say?

And you realize that, really, what he's saying is:

"What's your alibi?"

And many times- on tv and in real life- the suspect blurts it out before being asked.

"It wasn't me. I was at a basketball game that night. It was at the high school. My son was playing. My wife was with me. Just ask them."

Then, I can just hear Lennie Briscoe following up with:

"What time did you get there? What time did you leave? Were you there the whole time?" 

This alibi rendering is so certain, so utterly predictable, that it happens EVERY TIME- both on television and in real life.

That's why those who say that "out with Bill Shelley in front" pertained to something else are "other universers". They think that the JFK assassination happened in another universe where everything was different- from human behavior to the laws of physics. 

Of course, the issue of Oswald's alibi was going to come up in the very first interrogation. And since Fritz was taking notes, if he was going to write anything down, he was going to write down that. 

So, if  "out with Bill Shelley in front" pertained to something else, what was Oswald's alibi? Find it for me in the Fritz Notes. 

And if you think it pertained to who Oswald saw out front as he was leave for home, why did that matter? There was no crime going on then. So, what difference does it make? Why would Fritz write down what Oswald said about that but not record what he gave as his alibi?

In the real world, detectives are very interested in the alibi. They always want to know the alibi. If they're going to write something down, they're going to write down the alibi. And when they're done hearing the alibi and writing down the alibi, then they start checking the alibi, trying to verify it, trying to confirm it. 

Well, in this case, it's very clear that BILL SHELLEY was Oswald's alibi. He said he was out in front with Bill Shelley. That means that Fritz should have talked to Shelley. He should have told him what Oswald said. He should have made Shelley keenly aware that Oswald used him as his alibi. There is no record that that happened.

But, it doesn't mean it didn't. I'm not among those who think that Will Fritz had foreknowledge and was in on the whole thing, that he knew, in advance, that Kennedy was going to be killed and by whom and at whose expense (Oswald's). But, Will Fritz was not a strong, independent man. He couldn't stand up to the pressure to find Oswald guilty- and he was being pressured directly by LBJ's cronies, the Texas Mafia. 

But, despite that, do you think Fritz did have enough sense to have a word with Shelley about what Oswald said? It's a tempting thought, and I'll have more to say about it.

I'm also going to have more to say about Emory Roberts being captured talking on the phone in the Altgens photo, and the discovery of Hickey's high hairline which proves that the Hickey figure in the Altgens photo is fabricated and false. I'm not nearly done with those. I'm just getting started.
