Attorney For Kay Denies fee Worry
Percy Foreman, the Texas lawyer now handling James Earl Ray’s defense, says money for his fee is not a concern and he was not hired by the Ku Klux Klan or any right wing group. He explains the arrangement is between Ray, Ray’s family, and himself, and notes he has given away $300,000 this year. Hanes’ fee had been paid by William Bradford Huie for information for Ray’s life story. The switch in attorneys was announced 36 hours before Ray’s Shelby County murder trial.
