There are a lot of sources out there but never has anything been proven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Earl_Ray https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Earl_Ray Head down to the "denial of confession" section.

The suit (for wrongful death) mentioned only Loyd Jowers by name, but also alleged government involvement. The jury–six blacks and six whites—found that King had been the victim of assassination by a conspiracy involving the Memphis police as well as federal agencies. [1] The judge continued: “Do you also find that others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged by the defendant?’ Your answer to that one is also ‘Yes.’” [2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#Civil_case_for_conspiracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Martin_Luther_...
