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

 I studied the NBC and KRLD films looking for their Jackson frame. In particular, I wanted to see if the Shooter continued pointing the gun at Oswald after he shot him, as we see in the Jackson photo.

In both films, the Shooter rushes in from the side and shoots Oswald from that position; not from in front of him but from the side. Then, in both, LC Graves helps the Shooter get in front of Oswald. He shoves on him. He pushes him. So his hands are on him even before the Shooter gets positioned in front of Oswald. And it's his arm with the gun that Graves is grabbing and controlling.

Is there any frame in which the Shooter is in front of Oswald and pointing his gun at him, as we see in the Jackson photo? No, there is not. There is no frame in either film that corresponds to the Jackson photo. The Jackson photo was not taken during the Spectacle. It was taken at a photo-shoot before the Spectacle.

So, in each case, it shows the moment of the shot on the left, and in KRLD, you can see that Graves already had his hands on the Shooter's arm. And then on the right side, it shows the fast repositioning, with Graves helping the Shooter get there.

The NBC footage was shot more close-up. The Shooter comes in from the side. But, notice on the lower right that Graves' hand is there controlling the arm of the Shooter. So, how could he be pointing his gun at Oswald?

So, there is a dissociation between the films and the Jackson photo. They do not correlate. They do not confirm each other. They tell different stories. The Jackson photo was a staged photo that was shot beforehand. It was the deliberate creation of an iconic photo.
