Ray Denied New Trial in King's Murder Case
James Earl Ray lost his bid for a new trial as Criminal Court Judge Arthur Faquin Jr. ruled he waived the right to appeal by pleading guilty to the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. Ray, weighing about 190 pounds after solitary confinement, was ordered back to the state penitentiary to serve a 99 year sentence. Prosecutors presented a signed statement showing Ray agreed not to appeal or seek a new trial, a binding Tennessee contract cited by the judge. The hearing failed to elicit Ray's full account as his lawyers withdrew assertions of coercion by former attorney Percy Foreman.
