Back in print with its original title, Harold Weisbergâs detailed and devastating analysis of the Martin Luther King assassination is as timely as ever. Originally published in 1970, this book examines the circumstances of the murder, accused assassin James Earl Rayâs flight and capture, and the failures of the justice system in this case. While many books about the King assassination have followed Frame-Up, this work remains unrivaled in its retelling of the circumstances which led Ray to plead guilty in a grossly inadequate âmini trial,â and Rayâs almost immediate failed attempt to retract this confession. Weisberg also dissects the evidence in the case, and concludes that while Ray was a part of the conspiracy, he did not shoot Dr. King, serving as another âpatsyâ in the troubling assassinations of the 1960s.
