i am sitting in a studio with the brother of james earl ray - john larry ray. this former tavern owner prison frequenter says his brother was recruited by US intelligence, subjected to mind control techniques, psychologically pampered and brainwashed to assassinate dr. mlk jr. he insists his brother was innocent, a scapegoat.
after 40 years, just mere conspiracy theories. speculations (or in ray's case certainties) that can't comfort a family without a father, a church without their pastor, and a civil rights movement without their leader.
btw - dr. mlk jr. and i have the same birthday.
