James Earl Ray

And I said, wow, that's, you know, literally days after the Assad.

I think they're still trying to capture at this point, James Earl Ray and all the rest of it, or he might be in custody, but I mean, dang you know they just had the funeral and all that and he does not say one word now I will add for context hey we have rolled right through 1965 I don't think he said a word about the assassination of Malcolm X unless my memory is bad I don't even really remember him saying anything about the assassination of Medgar Evers either and that happened in 1963 just literally I think like three months later Before the bombing of the Birmingham church in Alabama, Medgar Evers was assassinated in Mississippi.

Jackson in 19 in June 1963.

John F. Kennedy did a big speech right at the moment, basically, where he was being assassinated.

He just is whatever the official story says he is, and that's what he did, right? Because he's dead now, there's nothing to go against.

You got James Earl Ray, who languished in prison after the death of Martin Luther King Jr., and he died in prison just before a civil jury found out that MLK, or let's say a civil jury decided that Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by the government via conspiracy.

And then we've got Sirhan, Sirhan Sirhan, which guys, I don't even know how to categorize that one besides-

Isn't that Manchurian Candidate kind of? There's conspiracies, uh, surrounding that.

There were, there were quite a few charges.

But actually seeing somebody play out in a... trial like this.

There, there was all kinds of weird stuff with James Earl Ray through the trial, like, you know, pushing him to plead a certain way, um, and eventually getting him to plead guilty even though he says he didn't want to plead guilty.

I, I'm just wondering, you know, do you, do you see him as somebody who is just an individual fighting against those charges fully, or is, are, are they just going through the motions?

He knew him so well.

And that they paid off the ward in the Missouri prison system so that then they helped Ray escape James Earl Ray.

Martin Luther King's the one they fingered for the assassination so that they can control him when he escaped.

You know, an escaped convict is completely at the mercy of the people who helped him escape.

Yeah, that does something to some people.

I mean, James Earl Ray.

Married the court...

She didn't take pictures.

King would have a critique of what's going on in the United States today.

But what was really shocking was when I got the primary documents, I cannot prove who did it or who was behind James Earl Ray.

But I do believe that the FBI, the CIA, and the military intelligence group of the Army had animus, and this is based on government documents, and then somehow this man, James Earl Ray, solved their problem.

So it's too coincidental.

And I think the key thing is when I studied the assassination case, It told me why King was disliked.

And I try to keep out conspiracy theories and base everything on primary documents.

The primary documents does give you the evidence that it's highly likely that James Earl Ray had help from someone.

And I do believe the best evidence is that Ray did do the shooting.

Now, I don't know, I can't recall if King was shot with a full jacket round or not, but remarkably, the round that killed MLK, Martin Luther King, That round was fired at a distance.

I don't recall the distance, but James Earl Ray, supposedly, the shot struck King in his right cheek, breaking his jaw and traveled through several vertebrae as it continued to travel downwards through the spinal cord.

It severed his jugular vein and a major artery before lodging in his shoulder.

That leads me to believe that that was a soft round.

In that case, Harrelson was represented by Percy Foreman, one of the most famous criminal defense attorneys in the country at the time.

Foreman had briefly represented Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald's killer, but he's better known for defending James Earl Ray, the man who assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In the Angleton trial, Foreman managed to keep Sandra Sue quiet and drum up some witnesses who swore Charles was elsewhere that day.

On September 22nd, 1970, he was acquitted of the crime.
