After studying the investigative work of William Pepper on the King assassination, my love of primary sources led me to read the transcript of the civil trial made possible by Pepper’s hard work. In this article I concentrate on the testimony of a particular witness—a cab driver—who had been at the scene. This testimony supports Pepper’s contention that government forces killed King and framed James Earl Ray.

The need to take eyewitnesses seriously is a theme in my work on the 9/11 fraud, and here I have simply extended the point to cover the MLK assassination.
