Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at just 39 years old. James Earl Ray was found guilty but, claimed he was a scapegoat.
After a four-week trial with over 70 witnesses, a Memphis jury in December 1999, unanimously found that “others, including governmental agencies,” participated in a conspiracy to assassinate Dr. King and frame Ray. They awarded the family the token $100 they had requested.
The DOJ explicitly rejected the civil verdict's conspiracy claims as based on "secondhand and thirdhand hearsay and speculation," noting that civil trials use a lower standard of proof. They concluded that James Earl Ray fired the fatal shot.
