Ex Boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter Dead at 76 yrs

Aww, this is sad. Ex boxer and wrongfully convicted murderer, Rubin "the Hurricane" Carter died today in his sleep from complications of prostate cancer. He was just 76 yrs old. Rubin and a buddy had been wrongfully convicted of murdering 3 white people at a Tavern in Patterson NJ back in 1966 by an all white jury. Rubin was briefly let out of prison in 1976 for a 2nd retrial but was convicted again for the murders. It wasn't until 1985 that he was set free for good by having his convictions set aside after years of appeals and public advocacy. A movie was made about his life starring Denzel Washington, Washington received an academy award nomination for his portrayal of Carter. Rest in peace Rubin.
