“Other evidence tying King to the crime included racist letters written by King and tattoos on King’s body that prosecutors said showed he hated blacks.”
Dwell on that for a bit.
Not saying he didn’t do it. Victim’s blood on his sandals is pretty damning. But BEING racist is not evidence of COMMITTING A CRIME.
The reason he has hatred towards blacks is because he was raped repeatedly by black men when he was in prison.
Dwell on that for a minute.
Fun fact: a year after this crime, the same crime occurred, but with the races reversed. No one knows about that crime, and the killers of the innocent white man were not given the death penalty.
