James Earl Ray was an American murderer convicted of the assassination of American civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He got his first taste of prison life after joining the Army and getting sent to Germany in the years following World War II. Seems James liked to drink and got himself arrested by the MPs on a drunk and disorderly charge and sentenced to 90 days hard labor in the stockade. On 8 June 1968, a little more than two months after King's death, Ray was captured at London's Heathrow Airport while trying to leave the United Kingdom on a false Canadian passport. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison on March 10, 1969.
