Twenty nine years ago today, an assassin’s bullet struck and killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he walked along the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Today we go back to that fateful day and examine the new allegations by the King family and others that the man serving a life sentence for the murder of Dr. King may not be guilty.
