The hurricane rubin carter

[chabobo]

There were some blacks in the jury, it wasn't all white.

Carter's career as a contender was over when he went to prison.

The crowd did not boo Giardello when he got the decision.

He didn't go to juvenile hall for protecting himself against a pedophile. He was in and out or reform school for repeated muggings.

Thanks for that. But he did not commit those murders right? I'm just trying to see why they would change a story so much if it's suppose to be based on a true story. I know it's holliwood but even Mike Tyson's movie back in the day was mostly true to his growing up.

No one can really know if Carter committed those murders or not.
Only he himself knows, maybe some others do as well but won't say it.

But the fact is that his trial was unfair and that's why he was freed from prison.
Not necessarily because he was innocent but because the trial wasn't fair.

There was very little physical evidence linking him and Joh Artis to the crime. The witnesses of the prosecution were also not very credible.

There were two blacks in the jury the SECOND trial. No blacks in the first jury. There were numerous brady violations committed by the prosecution. The prosecution mishandled and corrupted their own case. He may have been guilty, but the mishandling by the prosecution made that difficult to believe.

they play some of his fights every now and then on ESPN CLASSIC.

Guy did that murder, it is painfully obvious that he killed those people. The evidence isnt there so i guess they had to let him go, but you have to know he did it

Who knows really?

Carter was released because it was found out, as said in a previous post, that the prosecution broke laws. Not because it was proven that he was not guilty.

As for Tyson, I've heard numerous conflicting stories about his background as well.
