The Sixteenth Round: From Number 1 Contender To
#45472 by Rubin Carter (Paperback - May 1, 1991)Rubin
"Hurricane" Carter (born May 6, 1937) was an American
middleweight boxer between 1961 and 1966, although he is
better known for his controversial convictions (1967, 1976)
for three June 1966 murders in Paterson, New Jersey, and his
subsequent release from prison in 1985.
The question of Carter's actual guilt or innocence
remains a strongly polarizing one. However, this much is
certain: either the criminal justice system released a triple
murderer from the punishment that two separate juries had
recommended, or it imprisoned an innocent man for almost 20
years.
