Chief Counsel
Richard Sprague emphasized the point in the first interview with
James Earl Ray on March 22, 1977 that the tape recordings Special
Investigator Gary Revel was making of the interviews were private.
He assured all those present that the HSCA would not make public the
contents of the tapes at any time. The agreement was that only the
upcoming testimony of Mr. James Earl Ray before the HSCA would be
made public.
On January 21,
2006 Gary Revel learned for the first time that the interviews were
published in 1979. After consulting with attorney Jack Kershaw who
was James' attorney at the time he realized that the only way the US
Government could have gotten the interviews and transcribed them for
publication is if they stole them.
Neither attorney
Jack Kershaw, James Earl Ray or Gary Revel had given any permission
to the US Government to publish the tapes at that time. During that
time period the recorded audio tapes of all the HSCA-James Earl Ray
Interviews recorded at Brushy Mountain Prison had been safe-guarded
by either Gary Revel or Jack Kershaw. Most of that time they were
kept in a locked file in an office in Jack Kershaw's home in
Nashville, Tennessee.
At no time had
any of the tapes been out of the direct possession of either
attorney Jack Kershaw or Gary Revel. The only time permission was
given the US Government to copy them was in 1999 during the
reinvestigation of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. At this
time Gary Revel met with US Marshalls in Los Angeles and watched as
they made copies of many of the taped interviews. This was about 20
years after many of these same tapes had been illegally copied,
transcribed and published by the US Government Printing Office.
It may be
interesting to note that the United States Government never paid a
dime, as they had promised Jack Kershaw and Gary Revel, of expenses
incurred by the legal team and then to top it off they very secretly
stole the recordings and made copies of them before returning them
in a way that Jack or Gary never knew it. Then they transcribed and
published them without even notifying Jack Kershaw or Gary Revel.
Well if the
United States Government had planned all along to defraud Jack
Kershaw and Gary Revel then the US Government's investigation was a
fraud in itself and they defrauded the American People as well. Of
course the American People may not mind so much that Jack and Gary
were ripped off, after all they were just trying to get to the truth
of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. Gary Revel recently
asked Congress for an investigation into this entire matter. We will
have to wait and see if the US Government has gotten so corrupt that
it is beyond the reach of justice.
