I Did Not Shoot Him James Earl Ray Anew Plea
James Earl Ray contends he did not fire the fatal shot that killed Martin Luther King Jr. He says he may plead guilty again under pressure from his former lawyer Percy Foreman while serving a 99 year term at Brushy Mountain State Prison. Ray claims he bought the rifle and handed it to an associate known as Raoul. His account includes disputes over fingerprints and intent, and mentions potential civil actions for access to classified King investigation documents.
