About the Book
For fourteen days in the winter of 1999, just blocks away from the
site of Dr. King's assassination, one of the most infamous murder mysteries was
being unraveled in Memphis, Tennessee, before a circuit court judge and twelve
impaneled jurors.
While the national media turned a blind eye toward
this trial, day by day the facts were revealed to prove the truth behind what
really happened on April 4th, 1968, to Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil
rights Movement.
This book is the actual trial transcript, from
beginning to end with no editing, no deletions, no opinions or commentary.
Based upon the testimonies of over 70 witnesses, you can become the 13th juror,
and make up your own mind about what happened on that fateful day.
Reviews
"Today we have no excuse for ignorance of the government
conspiracy to murder Martin Luther King… The implications of this trial
threaten the roots of our systemic violence. No one wants to go there. Yet
thanks to The 13th Juror, we can and must go there, for the sake of our
country's future".
- Jim Douglass, Author, JFK and the Unspeakable
"Writing as a forensic pathologist and occasional witness in court
on complex, often obscure issues, I am struck by the inexorable march of the
evidence and facts in this case... An outstanding achievement and a fine public
service."
- D. Radford Shanklin, M.D., F.R.S.M., Woods Hole,
Massachusetts
"A fine supplement to Pepper's work, this 766-page
volume presents the trial transcript in its unedited entirety… truly
allowing the reader to weigh the testimony and reach a verdict."
