United States Department of Justice Investigation of Recent Allegations Regarding the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Released on June 9, this report, the product of an eighteen-month Justice Department investigation, refutes allegations of a conspiracy surrounding James Earl Ray and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and recommends no further investigation. As with the four previous investigations, this 138-page report concludes that there exists "no reliable evidence that Dr. King was killed by conspirators who framed James Earl Ray." In addition, it rejects the findings of a civil court jury in Memphis which last December found in favor of the King family against former Memphis bar owner Loyd Jowers, concluding that Jowers and others, "including government agencies," conspired to assassinate the civil rights leader. The full text of the report, with nine attachments in .jpeg and .pdf format, is available in HTML format at the Department of Justice site.
