I search this up often, but can never seem to get the accurate answer on the dot. So, I’m asking you guys to see If I can compare It to the online answers.
ONLINE: James Earl Ray
Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. An hour later, he was declared dead. For nearly 50 years, the federal government has maintained that James Earl Ray was the gunman who assassinated King that day.

James Earl Ray.

The conspiracy theories are just like every other conspiracy theory – an inability by inconsequential “normal” people to believe that an otherwise inconsequential “normal” person can wake up in the morning and do something that completely changes everyones world view.

Lacking any evidence to the contrary, all there is would be suspicion it was someone else. I doubt we will ever know the truth, if it is different from what is written.

It’s easier to believe that Ray killed King than to believe Oswald killed Kennedy.
