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

 Chris Crichton gave me the idea to do this, and I thank him. Start by looking at the Willis crop in the upper left. That picture was taken no more than a second before the throat shot, according to Congressman Phil Willis, who took it. Look closely and you'll see Abraham Zapruder standing on his pedestal. He's facing Kennedy, and he has been tracking Kennedy the whole time. So, he has been swinging himself, and his camera, around to his right to keep Kennedy in view and center-frame as he came down the hill. I want you to notice where the Stemmons freeway sign is in relation to him, Zapruder. Notice the size of it, the shape of it, and the angle that it has, which is 45 degrees to the road, like all road signs.

Now, with your mind's eye, imagine Zapruder turned and facing the top of Elm when JFK's limo was turning from Houston. I added a white line to help you. So, imagine Zapruder tracking that white line. when he was aiming his camera in that direction.

Would the Stemmons Freeway sign even enter his camera field? No! In fact, all you have to do is back JFK up a little ways, in your mind, say to the right edge of the Willis photo, and the sign would not have intruded on Zapruder's camera field.

The truth is that the sign wasn't that big, and at 45 degrees angle to the road, it did not intrude all that much on the view.

But now, look at the Zapruder film, frame 99, which is upper right. You see how much the sign intrudes on the view. And the bottom frame is my attempt to depulicate the Zapruder film with the Stemmons freeway sign restored (someone was holding a light-weight version of it) in which you can see that the sign did not intrude on the image at all in my frame 99.

This proves that the sign that we see in the Zapruder film is fake. Again, I thank Chris Crichton.
