Coretta Scott King: We have done what
we can to reveal the truth, and we now urge you as members of the media, and we
call upon elected officials, and other persons of influence to do what they can
to share the revelation of this case to the widest possible audience.
King
Family Press Conference, Dec. 9, 1999.
The assassination of Dr. King is
just one OBVIOUS crime from among ~100 of the US “1% oligarchy” of crucial
importance. The crimes center in wars, money,
and media; and
call for arrests of
obvious “leaders” orchestrating these crimes, or a Truth & Reconciliation process.
Dr. Martin Luther King’s family and
personal friend/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 Center fully documents the case, with full
trial transcript.
The King family’s attempts for a
criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of a guilty plea were
denied. Mr. Ray said that his government-appointed attorney told him to
sign a guilty plea to prevent the death penalty for his part in delivering the
murder weapon for Dr. King’s assassination, and to prevent arrests of his
father and brother as probable co-conspirators. Mr. Ray produced a
letter from his attorney stating the promise that Mr. Ray would
receive a trial. When Mr. Ray discovered that he was solely blamed for Dr.
King’s assassination and would never receive a trial, the King family’s and Mr.
Ray’s subsequent requests for a trial were denied.
The US government also denied the
King family’s requests for independent investigation of the assassination. Therefore,
and importantly, the US government has never presented any evidence
subject to challenge that substantiates their claim that Mr. Ray assassinated
Dr. King.
US corporate media did not cover the
trial, interview the King family, and textbooks omit this information.
Journalist and author, James Douglass:
“I can hardly
believe the fact that, apart from the courtroom participants, only Memphis TV
reporter Wendell Stacy and I attended from beginning to end this historic
three-and-one-half week trial. Because of journalistic neglect scarcely anyone
else in this land of ours even knows what went on in it. After critical
testimony was given in the trial’s second week before an almost empty gallery,
Barbara Reis, U.S. correspondent for the Lisbon daily Publico who was
there several days, turned to me and said, “Everything in the U.S. is the trial
of the century. O.J. Simpson’s trial was the trial of the century. Clinton’s
trial was the trial of the century. But this is the trial of the
century, and who’s here?” ”
[…]
The overwhelming evidence of government complicity introduced and agreed as
comprehensively valid by the jury includes:
- US 111th Military Intelligence Group were at Dr. King’s location during the assassination.
- 20th Special Forces Group had an 8-man sniper team at the assassination location on that day.
- Usual Memphis Police special body guards were advised they “weren’t needed” on the day of the assassination.
- Regular and constant police protection for Dr. King was removed from protecting Dr. King an hour before the assassination.
- Military Intelligence set-up photographers on a roof of a fire station with a clear view to Dr. King’s balcony.
- Dr. King’s room was changed from a secure 1st-floor room to an exposed balcony room.
- 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.
- Along with sanitizing a crime scene, police abandoned investigative procedure to interview witnesses who lived by the scene of the shooting.
- The rifle Mr. Ray delivered was not matched to the bullet that killed Dr. King, and was not sighted to accurately shoot
The King family believes the government’s
motivation to murder Dr. King was to prevent his imminent camp-in/Occupy at
Washington, D.C. until the Vietnam War was ended and those resources directed
to end poverty and invest in US hard and soft infrastructure.
This conclusion is consistent with US history, past and recent, for
US “leaders” to lie and kill for wars of choice. These lies are then “covered”
by corporate media in news and history texts.

Please watch this
six-minute video of the evidence from the trial, and this eight-minute video
on the FBI’s disclosures of covert operations against Dr. King, including
confirmation from his closest friends and advisors.
Coretta Scott King, Dr. King’s wife,
is certain of the evidence after 30 years of consideration from the 1968
assassination to the 1999 trial:
“For a
quarter of a century, Bill Pepper
conducted an independent investigation of theassassination of Martin Luther
King, Jr. […] The findings of his exhaustive
investigation and additional revelations from the trial are presented in the
pages of this important book. We recommend it highly to everyone who seeks the
truth about Dr. King’s assassination.” — Coretta
Scott King.
[…]
We urge all interested Americans to
read the transcript
of the trial on the King Center website and consider the evidence,
so they can form their own unbiased conclusions.
Let’s summarize: Under US Civil Law, covert US government agencies were found
guilty of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is therefore a factual statement that under US
Civil Law, the US government assassinated Dr. King.
[…]
We also need to consider the lack of
coverage by US corporate media of this compelling evidence, trial verdict, and
King family testimony from over 30 years’ analysis of the facts. Recall the evidence of US corporate media reporting being infiltrated
by CIA agents to propagandize Americans’ access to information. This
included the Director of the CIA’s admission to Congress that they have over
400 agents working in corporate media to make the US public believe what the
CIA wants them to believe.

THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THE KING FAMILY PRESS CONFERENCE
ON THE MLK ASSASSINATION Trial Verdict December 9, 1999 Atlanta, GA
CORETTA SCOTT KING: There is abundant evidence of a
major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther
King, Jr. And the civil court's unanimous verdict has validated our belief. I
wholeheartedly applaud the verdict of the jury and I feel that justice has been
well served in their deliberations. This verdict is not only a great victory
for my family, but also a great victory for America. It is a great victory for
truth itself. It is important to know that this was a SWIFT verdict, delivered
after about an hour of jury deliberation. The jury was clearly convinced by the
extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia,
local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the
assassination of my husband. The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence
that identified someone else, not James
Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr.
Ray was set up to take the blame. I want to make it clear that my family
has no interest in retribution. Instead, our sole concern has been that the
full truth of the assassination has been revealed and adjudicated in a court of
law. As we pursued this case, some wondered why we would spend the time and
energy addressing such a painful part of the past. For both our family and the
nation, the short answer is that we had to get involved because the system did
not work. Those who are responsible for
the assassination were not held to account for their involvement. This verdict,
therefore, is a great victory for justice and truth. It has been a
difficult and painful experience to revisit this tragedy, but we felt we had an
obligation to do everything in our power to seek the truth. Not only for the
peace of mind of our family but to also bring closure and healing to the
nation. We have
done what we can to reveal the truth, and we now urge you as members of the
media, and we call upon elected officials, and other persons of influence to do
what they can to share the revelation of this case to the widest possible
audience. I know that this has been a difficult case for everyone
involved. I thank the jury and Judge Swearington for their commitment to reach
a just verdict, I want to also thank our
attorneys, Dr. William Pepper and his associates for their hard work and
tireless dedication in bringing this case to justice. Dr. Pepper has put
many years of his life, as well as his financial resources, into this case. He
has made significant personal sacrifices to pursue the search for the truth
about my husband's assassination.
