Probably 95% of Americans think that James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King.
Those are 95% of Americans who get their news from the mainstream and who don’t know that the MLK Family thought that Ray was an innocent patsy so they hired Bill Pepper to defend him.
In December 1999, in a civil case brought by the MLK Family in a Memphis court with James Swearingen presiding as judge, the Defendants, five in all _ The FBI, the US Army, the Memphis Police Department, the Dixie Mafia, and one Lloyd Jowers were found guilty of collusion in the death of MLK.
How many heard of that decision? Not a insignificant case, don’t you think? And yet it was only announced on the mainstream asset of the US Government on Nightline that night and never again presented to the People.
A one month trial, four thousand pages of documents, over seventy eye witnesses, and a jury of twelve, after only less than an hour of deliberation, found all of the above GUILTY of collusion in the death of Martin Luther King.
And James Earl Ray was exonerated by three eye witnesses who placed him away from the scene of the crime at the time of the assassination.

This is the nature of Justice in America.
This is the state of journalism, or said better, the lack of it.
It’s very easy to verify this through your search engines. But when confirmed, tell people around you the Truth, in that way you will honor Martin who certainly would not have wanted an innocent man to have his reputation besmirched even after his death.
