Former boxer, advocate Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter dead at 76

"Carter, whose time behind bars stemmed from being wrongly convicted of fatally shooting two men and a woman in New Jersey in 1966, had his struggle for exoneration popularized by both a Bob Dylan song and a Hollywood film featuring Denzel Washington."

From my mailbox:

Rubin Carter was actually guiltier than OJ. Link 1, Link 2

A sample from Link 1:

"Myth #5: Carter and Artis passed lie detector tests.

In his book, The Sixteenth Round, Carter quotes Sgt. McGuire (the officer who gave the tests), as saying, 'Both of them are clean. They had nothing to do with the crime.' In the book Hurricane, by James Hirsch, McGuire is quoted as saying, 'He didn't participate in these crimes, but he may know who was involved.' The actual report states, 'This subject was attempting deception to all the pertinent questions. And was involved in this crime.'"
