Memphis judge delays ruling on new MLK rifle tests
A Memphis judge postponed deciding on a new round of tests to determine if James Earl Ray's rifle killed Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The judge set August 1 for Ray's lawyers to explain cleaning methods and test logistics, and ordered prosecutors to share earlier test reports. Experts had found most test bullets bore microscopic markings not on the fatal slug, keeping the result inconclusive. King's family backs Ray's bid for a trial to settle conspiracy suspicions.
