Rubin ""Hurricane"" Carter was riding a wave of success.

The survivor of a difficult childhood and youth, he rose to become a top contender for the middleweight boxing crown.

But his career crashed to a halt on May 26, 1967, when he and another man were found guilty of the murder of three white people in a New Jersey bar and sentences to three consecutive life terms.
