MLK assassinated by US government: King family civil trial 1999 decision. Why didn't you know this?
Politics
January 18, 2010
By: Carl Herman
Martin Luther King’s family and his attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of what he claimed was a false confession was denied.
The overwhelming evidence of government complicity introduced and agreed as comprehensively valid by the jury includes the 111th Military Intelligence Group were sent to Dr. King’s location and that the usual police protection was pulled away just before the assassination. Military Intelligence set-up alleged photographers on a roof of a fire station with a clear view to Dr. King’s balcony. 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day. Memphis police ordered the scene where multiple witnesses reported as the source of shooting cut down of their bushes that would have hid a sniper team. Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.

whatever you think happened, we know Ray pled guilty. so there's no need to make it sound like nothing else ever happened regarding the case.The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King.

janklow;5450580 said:see, here's the thing: the government wasn't found guilty of murdering MLK; a restaurant owner was found legally liable for his death in a civil trial. this is, to say the least, not the same thing. and really, you lose me here:whatever you think happened, we know Ray pled guilty. so there's no need to make it sound like nothing else ever happened regarding the case.The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King.

the black pride died a while ago. only a few of us still have it and wear it proudly on our sleeve.
don't make me have to start deleting all these postsdr funky resurrected;5462489 said:you dont, Im just commenting randomly to get my post count back up
no, a civil court --which, let's remember, has a lower standard of proof to meet-- said this guy may have been connected to the government. was anyone else specifically even found liable?Plutarch;5463921 said:Lol, c'mon. Admittedly, everything that you said was right, but you're just scratching the surface. The government was not convicted itself, but it was found to be actively involved in the murder.
or he actually did it. you're saying that the plea doesn't mean he did it and then immediately taking it as a given that he was set up as a scapegoat.Plutarch;5463921 said:And just because Ray pleaded guilty doesn't mean that he did it. He was set up to be the scapegoat.
he's known to have planned other assassinations?Plutarch;5463921 said:I'm sure that you don't deny that that bastard J. Edgar Hoover had it in him to support and execute such a planned assassination, right?
