Rubin Carter was a contender for the world middleweight title when in 1966 he was arrested, tried and eventually convicted of a triple murder in Paterson, New Jersey 鈥� despite evidence suggesting he was innocent. Carter gained worldwide fame in 1975 when Bob Dylan released his song 鈥淗urricane鈥� based on the case. He spent 20 years in prison before the conviction was overturned, and devoted the rest of his life to helping those wrongly accused of crimes.
Carter died in 2014, but back in 1993, Mike Costello went to meet him and told his story in an award-winning documentary called 鈥淎n Innocent Man In A Living Hell鈥�. Mike and Steve revisit that documentary and share their stories of meeting Rubin Carter. Then, the 91热爆 World Service鈥檚 Steve Crossman joins the podcast to talk about an upcoming podcast series about Carter鈥檚 life.
