I am sure many will be familiar with the basic details of the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a very prominent civil rights leader, who was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. At 6:01 p.m., while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, he was struck by a single bullet from a .30-06 Remington rifle fired by James Earl Ray, a fugitive with a criminal history.
