King engaged an attorney and friend, Dr. William Pepper, to investigate
a suspicion they had. They no longer believed that James Earl Ray was
the killer. For their peace of mind, for an accurate record of history,
and out of a sense of justice they conducted a two decade long
investigation. The evidence they uncovered was put before a jury in
Memphis, TN, in November 1999. 70 witnesses testified under oath, 4,000
pages of transcripts described that evidence, much of it new. It took
the jury 59 minutes to come back with their decision that exonerated
James Earl Ray, who had already died in prison. The jury found that
Lloyd Jowers, owner of Jim¢s Grill, had participated in a conspiracy to
kill King. The evidence showed that the conspiracy included J. Edgar
Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the
Memphis police department, and organized crime.</span><br>
