Mr. Ray did initially confess to killing Dr. King, and was convicted. Soon he recanted his confession. His relatives thought he didn't have the intelligence to commit a crime of this magnitude acting alone. Conspiracy theories involving a mystery man named "Raoul" were put forth, and Dexter King, Dr. King's son, told Ray he would try to help clear his name. Unfortunately, Mr. Ray died of liver failure in 1999 without any resolution to the questions that had been raised. So the answer to your question is, he was convicted.
