- wavefunction 13y agoThere are questions surrounding who actually shot him. The man who went to prison for it may have been set up, as he denied personally shooting Dr. King. MLK was planning a huge "live in" on the National Mall to pursue greater income equality and there were plenty of interested parties that would have wanted to prevent that.
- OstiaAntica 13y agoActually the shooter initially pled guilty. Dept. of Justice looked at these "questions" and concluded they are junk. http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/crm/mlk/part2.php#over http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/crm/mlk/part2.php#over
