A jury in a civil suit brought by the family of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. decided today that a retired Memphis cafe owner was part of a conspiracy in the 1968 killing of Dr. King.
The jury's decision means it did not believe that James Earl Ray, who was convicted of the crime, fired the shot that killed Dr. King.
After four weeks of testimony and one hour of deliberation, the jury in the wrongful-death case found that Loyd Jowers as well as ''others, including governmental agencies'' had been part of a conspiracy. The jury awarded the King family the damages they had sought: $100, which the family says it will donate to charity.
The family has long questioned Mr. Ray's conviction and hoped the suit would change the legal and historical record of the assassination.
''This is a vindication for us,'' said Dexter King, the youngest son of Dr. King.
He said he hoped history books would be rewritten to reflect this version of the assassination.
Don't really expect the anti-conspiracy crowd to say anything, but I was looking for the ones on the fence to make comments. Conspiracies to carry out agendas in America by the Illuminati killing machine never stopped, even if they continue to convict patsy's and make them the guilty party to the crimes committed .
To the people here who said "his dream was accomplished" that was not his only dream. His last project started months before his assassination. He realized his fight for civil rights had moved in the correct and positive direction.
He started working for basic human rights that are denied to ALL by our government. He felt as if there should be NO separation of wealth classes and ALL people were equal and should be treated as such regardless of the amount of money they had.
And as we all should have realized by now, if you start fighting against the money machine you're bound have some mishaps. Sadly not many know about his last project and what he really wanted to accomplish for ALL of humanity.
Furthermore do you really believe his civil rights dream was accomplished because of a politician of mixed ethnicity??
I don't believe that's what he was all he intended to achieve. Personally I think he would like to have seen a time when a person would not be described by the color of their skin but instead by the character and dignity of that person. Or maybe that's just a crazy concept that can never be understood by the majority.
