Judge Allows Ray to Continue Effort to Prove Innocence
Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that James Earl Ray may pursue evidence to show his innocence in the King assassination. Dexter King urged a full trial, while the court found two Memphis judges acted beyond their authority by ordering new tests and subpoenas. The ruling allows further inquiry but criticizes Judge Brown for improper action.
