I know Mr. Carter ex-wife and she is not the person he portends in his book. Like all women they trust their spouse or their significant other for what they say, but then they go behind your back and do the opposite. Mrs. Carter trusted Mr. Carter and instead of him being there for her he turned his back, so of course she had to do what she needed to do to support their family. Don’t get me wrong I am very happy that Mr. Carter was released and was able to tell his story. But, one thing Mr. Carter forgot to do was to be there for his son. As every women knows their sons needs his father. The mother can only do so much for her son, but she cannot teach her son to become a man. When Mr. Carter left New Jersey he left his family as while. So, his son live his life been Rubin “Hurricane” Carter’s son. That was all people seen, so he never had a chance to have his own identity. His son needed his father, and because his father was not there for him he had to live the life style that everyone thought him and his family had. So he live his life proving to everyone (peers) that they did not need his father, that he was the man of the house, so he had to do what it took to take care of his family. So, now his son is in the system and the system is sentences his son to outrages sentence because who his father is. So, it looks like, if they could not get his father, then we can get the son. I have read documents and reports about Mr. Carter is reaching out to young men in and out of the Jail system to help their cases, but since I have known his family I never heard Mr. Carter tried to contact his son and help with his legal problems or even got to know his grand kids. All his son needs is a father. You can’t teach a boy how to become a man if you are a woman. It’s funny how when you goggle his name they know where his son located at, but I wonder does he know where his son at.

I agree. What’s weird is I just viewed the Movie for the first time over the weekend, then I was so curious and interested, I did some re search and homework on the Carter case, pretty much all weekend!
GUILTY!!! enough said! No doubt in my mind.
p.s. there was never a forged time change of the crime.
The movie is excellent, but only about 20 percent truth to it if that.
Just thought I would share since I saw your comment.
I really wish you the best with your son, it will all work out, you will see. I know the hurt and worry must be terrible right now, you will be in my prayers Patty, God bless.

This is unforgiveable!!! Shame on him.
I am from NJ–a very corrupt State. My own son is being SENTENCED for a crime he DID NOT COMMIT on June 10th. My heart is breaking—I wish Sam, Terry, Lisa and Gus were around when my son was taken into custody on March 24, 2010. It’s apparent in New Jersey, if you are POOR–you go to JAIL–NO QUESTIONS ASK!!! I have no money to fight for his defense! His public defender doesn’t even know his name (most of the time)—he is forced to take a plea for something he did NOT commit rather than go to trial–that would be suicide for him. Please forward my number to Sam, Terry, Lisa and Gus—609-597-1996 just so I can tell them I appreciate what they did for Hurricane Carter even if HE didn’t appreciate their efforts!!!
Thank you.
Patty Barton
