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

 What about Oswald saying that he was insiide the building? Actually, he didn't say it. He was responding to a question from a reporter who asked him if he was inside the building at the time. That's when Oswald said, "Naturally, etc."

But, Oswald told police that he was "out with Bill Shelley in front" and Fritz wrote it down. How could Oswald know that Bill Shelley was there unless he was there himself? He couldn't.

But, let's go back to what Oswald said about "Naturally, if I work in that building..." You need to realize that the entranceway of the Texas Book Depository was like a cave. When Oswald was standing in the doorway, he had walls on both sides of him and behind him, and above him, he had a ceiling. The floor beneath him was also the TSBD. The only opening was to the front.

But, he was not at street level. He was one flight up from the street and within the confines of the building. And if it started raining, he was not going to get wet because the building was going to protect him.

So, if you were inside a cave, looking out towards the opening of the cave, where you knew that if it rains or snows or hales, that you are not going to be affected because you're in the cave, would you say that you are inside or outside?

Well, regardless of what you would say, you can't fault Oswald for not correcting the reporter about where he was. Because: Oswald was not on the street. He was definitely in the confines of the building. He had no reason to quibble about the wording BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE DOORWAY.

And, they didn't want him to now. On Saturday night, when they stormed Lovelady's house with a picture of the doroway "as big as a desk" according to his wife Patricia, why didn't they do the same thing with Oswald? He was alive and well that night. Why didn't they go to his cell and get his opinion about who the Doorman was? Or at the Saturday evening interrogation in Fritz' office, they could have asked him about it then. The answer is obvious. They didn't have to ask him because they knew what he would say, and they didn't want him to know about the existence of the photograph.

Plus, everything was set that they were going to kill hiim the next morning. So, they let that sleeping dog lie. Here is the cave:
