James Earl Ray
James Earl Ray (March 10, 1928 – April 23, 1998) was an American convicted of the assassination of activist Martin Luther King, Jr. Ray was convicted on March 10, 1969, after entering a guilty plea to forgo a jury trial. Had he been found guilty by jury trial, he would have been eligible for the death penalty. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison. He later recanted his confession and tried unsuccessfully to gain access to a retrial. In 1998, Ray died in prison of complications due to chronic hepatitis C infection.
==Early life==
James Earl Ray was born to a poor family in Alton, Illinois, the son of Lucille (Maher) and George Ellis Ray. He had Welsh, Australian, and Irish ancestry, and was raised Catholic. In February 1935, Ray's father, known by the nickname Speedy, passed a bad check in Alton, Illinois, then moved to Ewing, Missouri, where the family had to change their name to Raynes to avoid law enforcement.〔Gerald Posner, Killing The Dream 1998〕 Ray left school at age 15. He joined the US Army at the close of World War II and served in Germany.
