  The corroboration between Fritz`s notes and Bookhout`s report is too
strong to disregard. Your ideas require coordination and complications
that you could never muster the kind of support they require, so why even
bother?

Ralph Cinque:

But, those are notes that Fritz never made public and never admitted having and even denied having. What is significant is that Will Fritz, himself, never reported "out with Bill Shelley in front." Nor did James Hosty ever report it. Only the third person, James Bookhout, who heard it reported it, and he twisted it to mean that Oswald said he saw Shelley after the assassination when he was going home, which was impossible since Shelley wasn't out in front at the time. 

You don't have a corroboration. What you have is two guys (Fritz and Hosty) who omitted completely what Oswald said, and another guy who twisted its meaning. In other words, all three of them, in one way or another, tried to bury the truth: that Oswald had an alibi; he gave an alibi; and it was that he was out front in the doorway with Bill Shelley during the shooting.
