James Earl Ray on April 4, 1968
He was sentenced to a 99- year sentence in prison. He plead guilty in order to avoid a trial conviction and possibly (probably) a death penalty. A lot happened after his conviction. He died in 1998 and now the King family does not believe Ray had anything to do with the murder of Martin Luther King.

Ray was serving a 99-year term for the assassination of King in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. He confessed and was sentenced, but promptly recanted and attempted to be tried on an innocent plea.
