A corroborated alibi is powerful evidence in proving your innocence, watch the following compilation of film clips and see that Oswald had PLENTY of opportunities to claim that he was outside with his workmates watching the P'parade, but never says a word?

So what? In response to the reporter's question, he confirms that he had not left his place of work--and that it would be ridiculous to use this against him. Neither Mr Oswald nor the reporter uses the word "inside". And, if Captain Fritz has been playing it sly as he likes to do, Mr Oswald will have been given to understand that he is not being charged as the triggerman but as the person who supplied the rifle. So he is unaware of how helpful it would be to his cause to respond to the reporter's question with, 'Well, sir, I'm going to need some semantic clarification from you before answering. When you say '
in the building', do you include the enclosed front part of the building?'
Thankfully, of course, the regrettable brevity of Mr Oswald's reply has not been a problem since this came to light:
There is literally only one place that is both part of the Texas School Book Depository and "outside": the front steps!
We now know, in short, that Mr Oswald made his whereabouts at the time of the assassination perfectly clear to Captain Fritz. 'That's alright, son, we're not accusing you of doing the actual shooting, but we do have you tied to the rifle.' Little likelihood of his blurting out his alibi to the press. Meantime, the alibi he has given in interrogation can be suppressed in good ole' style.
