Wow, out of left field, Hurricane Carter dead at age 76! I just saw "Hurricane " again last week. On a side note, I'm very friendly with one of the lead lawyers who represented Ruben for close to 30 years. What a lesson in, " never give up no matter how bleak things look "!!
Through trials, appeals and finally as I recall a Federal Habeus Corpus proceeeding, justice prevailed. Despite his superior physical and inner strength and fortitude , prison and his legal battles did certainly take a toll on him. He was, no doubt, a great man.
Always remember, if ever things look bleak, or your problems look insurmountable, Ruben Hurricane Carter taught us one everlasting lesson.
Don't ever give up. Keep on "fighting "!!! God Bless you Ruben!
