This is a review of the latest book of three (also in an audio edition) by William F. Pepper with the full title The Plot to Kill King: The Truth Behind the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. His previous books on the subject were An Act of State and The Plot to Kill King. I read An Act of State which provided the details about the only trial held by jury of the three major assassinations carried out by the deep state which rules the US. The jury in Memphis, Tennessee essentially found the US (deep state) guilty of the crime. I write "essentially" because the King family was only able to bring a civil suit against Lloyd Jowers who confessed to his involvement in the crime. Pepper was the attorney for the King family.
A criminal trial of the official guilty party, James Earl Ray, was never held because he initially confessed to the killing. Later he recanted this confession, but the government blocked all attempts to bring him to trial. Ray eventually died in prison.
In
1999 the King Family pursued a civil trial in Memphis, Tennessee. They
were not going after monetary gain, only justice and truth which the
King family felt strongly that they, and the government's patsy
James Earl Ray, had been denied. Thus a civil suit was brought against Jowers, who was terminally ill and confessed to a role in the
crime, and "others, including governmental agencies." They were
essentially putting the deep state and their secretive enforcers (CIA/FBI) on trial. In less than one hour the jury found that Martin Luther
King, Jr. was assassinated by a conspiracy involving government
agencies.
