- #* BTW a show last night on Fox said that the FBI declined to do

- #moments after the murder), or to see if its rifling matches
- #that on the fully intact bullet they recovered from MLK.

- #According to the show, to this day they refuse to allow any

- Didn't Ray plead guilty to the crime? If so, there was no reason
- for anyone to do any further testing.
-
- Note- Ray, in his new book, denies having been the trigger man, and
- in fact anything more than a patsy (while admittedly a two-bit hood).
