The Trial -- Pepper's closing argument to the jury, December 8, 1999 (10 parts)

The Trial: testimony by William Schaap, expert on media and propaganda

Excellent documentary on the Execution
Interestingly, it takes at face value the statements of Rev. Bill Kyles, at whom the evidence points the finger of direct involvement.

In six parts (courtesy of the Souse Files)

High-energy Talk by Dick Gregory and Steve Cokely
The first three parts are Dick Gregory. In part 1, at 4:20, Rev. Bill Kyles states a proven lie about spending the last hour with Dr. King, and follows it at 4:54 with an apparently inadvertant admission of complicity.
The last four parts are Steve Cokely. Cokely spends his part of the talk describing a serious distrust between Dr. King and Jesse Jackson, and makes a case for Jackson's direct involvement in the execution. The final segment here is from a different series of videos of the same talk; it continues where the sixth part of this series ends.
