James Earl Ray, the man who confessed to killing Martin Luther King Jr and later claimed he was framed, died at 70 in Nashville Tennessee from kidney failure and liver disease while serving a 99 year prison term. Civil rights leaders vary on whether a full truth would emerge. King’s family seeks a federal investigation while others acknowledge possible involvement by others. Ray recanted his guilty plea years after pleading guilty in 1969, claiming coercion and a conspiracy with a gun dealer known as Raoul.

Weisberg says death deepens King mystery
Local author Harold Weisberg argues James Earl Ray did not kill Martin Luther King Jr and says the death harms any chance to prove Ray’s innocence. He notes Ray pleaded guilty under duress and was never given a trial despite questions about the bullet, weapon match, and Memphis timing. The King family supports a trial, while Weisberg asserts no solid case exists against Ray.

The find suggests German brewers may have observed purity principles a century earlier, with possible implications for historic brewing practices.
