Carter Rubin Bio
Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was an American-Canadian middleweight boxer who was born on May 6, 1937, and passed away on April 20, 2014. He was falsely convicted and imprisoned for murder until he was freed through a petition of habeas corpus after over 20 years in jail. Carter died on April 20, 2014.
In 1966, both Carter and his co-defendant, John Artis, were taken into custody for their alleged involvement in a triple killing that took place at the Lafayette Bar and Grill in Paterson, New Jersey, in the United States. A few times after the shootings at 2:30 in the morning, police stopped a vehicle outside the bar whose occupants were on their way home from a local nightclub. Inside the car were Carter, Artis, and a third guy.
They were permitted to continue on their journey, but Carter and Artis were stopped and arrested around half an hour after dropping off the third individual on their way back past the bar for the second time. In 1974, Carter’s autobiography, which he wrote while he was incarcerated and titled The Sixteenth Round, was released by Viking Press. Carter wrote the book in jail. The narrative was the impetus for the song “Hurricane” by Bob Dylan, which was released in 1975, as well as the film The Hurricane, which was released in 1999 and starred Denzel Washington as Carter. Carter was the executive director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted from 1993 to 2005.
