Perhaps it would be best if rather than just making a delete, some description of the controversy were added. 71.184.4.152 09:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The article says "He was the attorney for James Earl Ray, the convicted killer..."; this contradicts the James Earl Ray and MLK Assassination articles, which both indicate that James Earl Ray never went to trial. Someone that was not tried cannot have been convicted - he was instead sentenced on the basis of his guilty plea. --67.98.226.14 (talk) 15:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually it does not contradict the James Earl Ray article. from that article:
 * James Earl Ray (March 10, 1928 – April 23, 1998) was convicted of the assassination of American civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr....

This is the most ridiculous argument I've ever seen. An accepted guilty plea yields a conviction just the same as an accepted guilty verdict. Otherwise, every convicted felon in the world would be able to just plead guilty and then claim that they aren't convicted felons, as they were never convicted. 24.14.224.157 (talk) 05:22, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Cite references tag removal
It looks like a fair number of references have been added to this article, so I'm removing the "cite references" tag. Ghostofnemo (talk) 06:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see, I moved the "BLP sources" tag to the "Other activties" section. Ghostofnemo (talk) 06:14, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
