New Trial Plea Denied Ray Slaver Of King
The Tennessee Supreme Court refused to grant James Hart Ray a new trial in the 1968 slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The court said he bargained a guilty plea for a 99 year prison sentence to avoid a jury trial and possibly harsher punishment. Ray pleaded guilty to the slaving before Judge Preston W. Battle in Memphis on March 10, 1962, and later sought amew ti. The ruling marks the third setback in Ray's challenges to his sentence.
