Summary  
The documents detail James Earl Ray’s legal proceedings related to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on his extradition from London to the United States for trial in Memphis, Tennessee.

The text references conspiracy theories suggesting Ray may have been a decoy or part of a larger plot, with mentions of fingerprints found on the murder weapon and alleged connections to individuals like Ramon George Sneyd and Angela.
