James Earl Ray's Assassination

Upon my arrival I made contact with Stephan Maxime, who was in the area of where the shots were heard. Stephan told me the following “he was inside the house playing the video game when he heard a shot from nearby. Stephan advised at that point he ran outside to see what was going on”. Stephan was asked to fill out a statement he refused.

Lastly we are going to talk about the hard evidence. At the scene the investigators found brown felt pen scribbled all over a napkin. They never really thought anything about it till they found the brown felt pen in his pocket. So it connects him to being at the scene. There was also a letter found in the trash can that was signed by Ray. But the problem with the letter is that I was written in Dez Tenny’s handwriting. So with that letter it could mean that Ray was not in it

of that ("The CIA and the JFK assassination"). Lee Harvey Oswald was the actual man accused of

This was not Ray’s first time being convicted of a crime. He had a long history of offenses in the past across many states. According to the CrimeLibrary website, his major crimes were committed after being kicked from the army. From the years of 1949 to 1958, Ray served about 6 years in prison for various forms of robbery and forgery. However, in 1959 his streak of short sentences ended when he was sentenced as a habitual offender after robbing a Kroger store, and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison (Gribben). At this point, it seemed as though Ray had learned his lesson, serving six years without any problems. However, once again, Ray would break his streak in April of 1967 by sneaking out of prison in a box containing bread from the station

Benjamin Ray breaks his journal into two parts: The courtroom conversation and the drawings. In part one of his journal, he provides primary source documents that show the conversation that occurred

For starters, Thom shares a few conspiracy theories that he believes rank among the most popular: LBJ had it done, Oswald acted alone as a part of an unknown conspiracy, and lastly, the CIA did it. 10 The reasoning for the five conspiracies was for Thom to analyze some conspiracy theorists that believe “the oil people” organized a hit on the president or others suspect “people who didn’t like the way Kennedy handled civil rights.” Thom includes that for the people that believe Lyndon B. Johnson plotted the murder with the help of the government, they are

Aside from the Single Bullet Theory, the Warren Commission also declared that Lee Harvey Oswald conducted the assassination alone. Shortly after the assassination, some witnesses on Elm Street as well as the employees of the Texas School Book Depository informed the police officers on the site that they thought the short came from the sixth floor of the building. The police soon found a rifle and three bullet shells in one of the rooms on this floor. One witness, Howard Brennan, even provided the police officers with a description of who he thought the assassin was. According to Brennan, the man he described held a rifle out of a corner window on the sixth floor of the building around the time the assassination occurred. The police officers

During the time James E. Ray was hiding from escaping from prison where he reconnected with some friends that help him purchase a Chrysler car for $100. Later he travel to Detroit and cross the line to Canada, that when he met a man named Raoul in Canada. Their relationship grow into a business partnership, in which he help import some kind of contraband. Most of the time James was unaware of what he was staging to smuggle. In doing such, James Earl Ray, took the money he saved to a purchase a pale yellow mustang (not white )vehicle. It was Raoul who gave him the money to purchase the rifle from Aeromarine Supply store. Once Raoul saw the gun, he decided that he did not like it and request for Jame E. Ray to return it to the store and purchase

Ray got out of the Limousine in tried to stop his friends from killing these two gentlemen, but it was too late, they got all this blood on his white coat and Ray was taken to court, but he was found not guilty, but his two friends were found guilty That almost ended Ray’s career as a football

All this evidence against Oswald and the overwhelming number of eyewitnesses that had come forward, was enough to find Oswald guilty of murder at the time. However, the Warren Commission also investigated Oswalds background and found that he was a strange and enigmatic figure. It was evident that he had a fairly unstable and troubled past, which to most people accounted for his behaviour and the manner in which he had allegedly

He began recording his conversations with other police officers, mostly supervisors who would punish him for the way he performed him job. Ray’s first recordings were about a warning about a lieutenant confronting him about his low activity and admitting that the department was all about the numbers. Ray’s post and reputation grew worse, but he still continued to give less summons. His immediate supervisor who was also a black sergeant from Trinidad called him in to give him a negative evaluation, which he had been forced by his superiors, so he continued to ask questions to get confessions on the recordings.

Some people think Johnson hired a hit-man or somebody to kill JFK(Patterson). No facts were found to support this theory so it is very unlikely the reason JFK was assassinated. A woman by the name of Madeline Brown who claimed she had an affair with Johnson said that the night before the attack they were at a party and he said “ After tomorrow, those Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise.”

We realize at this point that Ray is starting to figure out who he is. He is beginning to shift alliances to be with the Indians on the reservation, because he is finding out who he can and cannot

The second suspected killer of JFK is Lyndon Baynes Johnson. LBJ main suspicion of hiring someone to kill the president is for more

In a report I read from a source about the 1999 civil suit, Coretta Scott King, who was the wife of Dr. King. She was sure that Jowers, Mafia, local, state, and federal government agencies were connected with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. She as well powerfully believed that James Earl Ray was not the shooter and he was just set up to take the blame for what happened.
