AN ASSASSIN'S BROTHER'S NEW BOOK James Earl Ray didn't kill Martin Luther King. He wasn't racist. And he knew in the weeks leading up to MLK's murder that he was being set up for some sort of plot. So says his brother, John Larry Ray, in a new book in which he tries to clear his brother's name and blame his arrest on a wide government conspiracy. Larry tells [the New York Daily News]: "James may be gone, but I have to continue his fight for justice and dignity before the ink dries on history." This might come as a shock, but the King family had no comment.
