- At the suggestion of the nominator, some extra alt hooks:
- ALT1: ... that 21 days after sentencing James Earl Ray, judge Walter Preston Battle (pictured) died, possibly at his desk?
- ALT2: ... that the judge in the James Earl Ray case (pictured) held two journalists and Ray's lawyer in contempt of court?

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

QPQ: Done.
Overall: Recently created article. All three hooks are interesting and cited. The 21 days part isn't cited but routine calculations do not count as original research. No copyright problems. Nice work. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:35, 13 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
