It's a little surprising that Ernest C. Withers was not the photographer that caught Merrell McCollough making sure that his mission, which he really got going on March 28 1968 by starting the sanitation strike riot, was completed six days later.

CTKA has created a new banner to honor this milestone. So we have five stories billed.
The first is Jim Douglass' review of the Jowers vs. King civil trial which he reported on from the court room for Probe.
We also have the speech Judge Joe Brown gave once he was removed from the King criminal proceedings. A real barn burner.
Then we have an interview James Earl Ray did in Playboy.
Thee is an overall review of the case against Ray written at the time of his death in 1998.
FInally there is a book critique of Jerry Ray's new memoir of the help he tried to give his brother,called A Memoir of Injustice.
This constitutes a good summary of this case.

Judge Joe Brown, as with Richard Sprague of the HSCA and Jim Garrison before them, was derailed when he got too close to the truth.

Goddamn. You don't say? Something I've never heard or thought of before. I always assumed obvious CIA hit. But never interpreted that famous photo that way. Who was the photographer btw? Why was he in place?
I wondered the same thing -- How was he there to take that?
The 'Who' part has been answered to an extent. At least we know his name.
Several of the men on that balcony pointed in the direction of the shot. Frozen in a picture taken by photographer James Louw, they were aiming their index fingers across Mulberry Street and northwest of room 306...
Findings on MLK Assassination
During the first hour, attorney William F. Pepper provided an update on his investigation into the RFK assassination as well as his work researching the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. On his efforts to get a new trial for Sirhan Sirhan, Pepper said that their legal brief, which includes revelations about fraudulent ballistics evidence in the original trial, will likely be denied, but they will take the case "as far as we can to get justice for this man." Regarding the murder of MLK Jr., Pepper detailed how alleged assassin James Earl Ray had been "profiled" by the FBI as a potential patsy long before the murder and was carefully moved around the country in order to place him in Memphis when the crime was committed. Ultimately, Pepper mused that " the ruling forces of this republic had their interests served by all of these assassinations," since RFK and MLK as well as Malcolm X threatened "business as usual" for the establishment.

I just thought that was odd considering Jesse was also present at the death of MLK.
