The King's family saved his life and spared him the death penalty.

Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed during a church service by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974).  She was 69 years old.

Her killer was a 23-year-old, college drop-out, black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but he aimed at his wife because she was seated closer to him.

Chenault was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.  The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison some years later after suffering a stroke.

diamong [38]

Answer: D. Romney won the most delegates in the race for 2012 nomination.

Explanation: Given the information in this graph, Romney has roughly 1500 delegates VS all the other candidates who don't even have 400 delegates. The graph does not give any information about caucuses or primaries, so A couldn't be the right answer. Paul, Gingrich, and Santorum combined is around 800, where Romney has 1500, therefore B is incorrect. And again with C, the graph does not provide any information about about primaries so therefore irrelevant, leaving D as the final answer.
