This is a hypertext representation of the complete transcript of the 1999 trial held in Memphis, Tennessee, brought by the family of Martin Luther King, Jr. in a wrongful death action against Loyd Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators for the April 4, 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Acknowledgements
This trial and its transcript would not have happened without the steadfast determination and perseverance of William Pepper (https://williampepper.com/), beginning in 1978, to investigate the circumstances of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. The King Family expressed great courage and understanding in declaring themselves the plaintiffs. By recounting their experiences, the seventy witnesses at the trial engaged in truth-telling that made the the facts of Dr. King's murder tangible and known. From my position I wish to thank John Judge for his invaluable help addressing many questions I had and ways of resolving them. Without his support this presentation would not be possible.

Dedication
This presentation is dedicated to the memory of Wendell Stacy (b. July 3, 1958, d. August 22, 2007) [1] (https://arkansastvnewswatch.blogspot.com/2007/08/former-karker-found-dead-at-home-in.html), [2] (https://www.cassville-democrat.com/story/1393438.html), [3] (https://mediaverse-memphis.blogspot.com/2007/08/on-wendell-stacy.html#!/2007/08/on-wendell-stacy.html), a first rate investigative reporter as well as a Memphis television reporter and cameraman. Other than the courtroom participants, Mr. Stacy and Jim Douglass (https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/Unspeakable/) were the only two people who attended the trial – Mr. Douglass from beginning to end, Mr. Stacy as much as he could. Wendell Stacy recorded the trial on his own video tapes and after the trial was fired by his employer Clear Channel because he had been pushing for more coverage of what had happened in the trial and on other issues. He sued Clear Channel and years later won his suit but Clear Channel blocked his ever being paid anything for it. Using his video recordings he produced an hour-long documentary on the assassination of Dr. King that aired on French and German prime time television. After the documentary was aired he was repeatedly threatened by telephone messages, experienced a series of break-ins to his home, and his car blew up when he was about to get into it. His sudden death in 2007 was from causes that are very difficult to understand. He suffered the consequences for his dedication to the truth. (Quoting Jim Douglass in 2009 Black Op Radio (https://blackopradio.com/) interview, #369c, 09:14-13:35 minutes)
