Summary: The document comprises a collection of FBI records, legal motions, and fragmented investigative notes related to the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) and the subsequent investigation into James Earl Ray’s involvement. It includes phone call records from August 1968 involving numbers linked to New Jersey and Montreal, with some calls charged to New Orleans. These communications are part of an FBI inquiry into potential connections to the murder case. A legal motion filed by Ray’s attorney argues that prejudicial media coverage and public sentiment compromised his right to a fair trial, citing widespread publicity about the crime and defendant. The motion references exhibits (A-1, A-2) possibly related to evidence or identification, including prison photos of Ray. Other sections mention Ray’s criminal history, escape from prison, and alleged connections to outlaw groups in Mexico. Some text appears unrelated to the main case, such as mentions of "Viet" or "SEPIA," which may be errors or irrelevant fragments.
