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

That video of Officer Roy Vaughn denying that he let Ruby pass or that Ruby got passed him on his watch has been taken down from Youtube, and I don't know why. Was it because it was so darn convincing? 

Roy Vaughn was not in on it. He did not let Ruby pass. And he was not a bumbling idiot incapable of guarding an 8 foot wide ramp. Vaughn was innocent, and he was set up. He wasn't put there until after Ruby was already in custody up on the 5th floor. Ruby arrived there early, much earlier than claimed. 

"During his testimony before the commission, Vaughn never wavered from his belief that Ruby did not pass him on that ramp and that the nightclub owner must have gained access to the area from some other entrance. The results of two polygraph examinations supported Vaughn. However, the eyewitness testimony of former policeman N.J. Daniels, who saw a man resembling Ruby walk down the ramp three to four minutes before the murder of Oswald, painted a different and more damaging portrait."
"The commission did not pursue the matter, preferring to believe that Ruby did in fact get by Vaughn unnoticed but that Vaughn was not at fault, negligent, or responsible in any way for the death of Oswald. But Vaughn received rougher treatment in Executive Action, a 1973 movie posing the theory that Kennedy’s murderers were hired and trained (and eventually disposed of) by a cabal of oil men with the nodding approval of the CIA and the FBI. In the film, the actor playing Vaughn deliberately turns his head as the Ruby character walks past him and down the ramp. Vaughn filed suit against the film’s production company and others involved with the film, including fellow Midlothianite Penn Jones, then-editor of the Midlothian Mirror. The suit was settled out of court."
