Look up James Earl Ray, deceased 1998.
Spiiting on people's coffins is thought to be in poor taste here, even when we know they did wrong.

The unofficial story were US Army snipers as part of a covert operation.
The official suspect was James Earl Ray, who died a number of years ago.

Nixon.
Note that nobody tried to kill him when he fought for civil rights, only when he spoke out against the war in Vietnam
"Wouldn't be a martyr if they hadn't murdered him"... no, you're right, he wouldn't be, he'd be an elder statesman today

Yeah, the assassin was a bastard, but MLK wouldn't be quite the glorified martyr today if he wasn't assassinated. Like JFK.
