Prosecution's Case Is Circumstantial In King Killing
The state will open November 12 in Memphis with James Earl Ray accused of fatally shooting Martin Luther King Jr. from a Lorraine Motel balcony. Prosecution says no direct eyewitness. FBI and police investigations support a circumstantial case. Room 34 at the Rebel Motel housed a man using Ene S. Galt and then John Willard, matching Ray's description. Evidence includes motel room details, timing, and potential sight lines, while gunplay specifics remain disputed until trial.
