Anyways, I'm done arguing. It's clear as day that Carter was guilty of triple-murder.

Please give us a link, where Dylan Reviewed the Facts,
and Stopped Supporting Carter?

I suspect You Can't; so If your False in One, We can assume,
Most of your Dribble is False Nonsense too...

Yeah I'm going with JP on this one. Rustler, you're clueless and biased, ignorant and classless.

It's semantics. Bob Dylan literally has no bearing on this case. What does matter is the facts, which I have tried to lay out in this thread. They are, to the best of my knowledge, true. You can choose to ignore them or interpret them however you please, but I firmly believe that Carter is a triple-murderer and I am not one bit sad that he is dead.

Translation: I have no clue as to whether or not Dylan still plays the song.

RIP Carter! From what I remember, he was basically convicted for being in the same neighborhood of the murders and having the same ammo. But things were so different and racist back then, it's easy to frame a couple black guys. Very convenient.

I'm sure the people who made the movie spent money looking into this and wouldn't want to glorify a "murderer" .

Come on, is that actually your argument? I can go over all of the way in which that movie was FACTUALLY wrong.

I've often wondered if Carter really was wrongfully convicted. I knew of his case ever since the mid-seventies, when Ali wore Carter's name emblazoned on his robe. I can't say that I know enough about the case to make an argument either way, but I can assert that Hollywood and celebrities in general cannot be blindly trusted to know or disseminate facts.

Just an example: The classic film "Birdman of Alcatraz," starring Burt Lancaster, depicts the famed prisoner as someone much more sympathtic than the real-life convict. Robert Stroud, as I later learned, was actually a sociopathic pedophile...not exactly someone the public would pay to view in any kind of positive light.

I don't know if Jimmy's facts are correct, but he seems better informed than anyone else here. He certainly makes his case much more solidly. If anyone wants to argue on Carter's behalf, they need to do a better job. Relying on Carter's own words and celebrity opinion just doesn't cut it.

Would strongly encourage anyone who hasn't seen much of Carter to do so. He was a beautiful technical boxer with impeccable form. He was human boxing art. A true craftsman.
