Whatever happened to Ruben Hurricane Carter of the Bob Dylan song/?

Answer 1

from wikipedia

Carter now lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and was executive director of The Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted from 1993 until 2005. He now works as a motivational speaker. Carter publicly resigned from the Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted (AIDWYC) when the prosecutor of Guy Paul Morin, a wrongfully convicted man, was promoted to a judgeship and the ADWC declined to support Carter's protest of the appointment. On October 14, 2005, Rubin Carter received an honorary Doctorate of Laws from York University (Toronto, Ontario) as well as Griffith University (Brisbane, Australia) in recognition of his work with the ADWC and the Innocence Project.

Carter's career record in boxing was 27 wins, 12 losses and one draw in 40 fights, with 8 knockouts and 11 technical knockouts. He received an honorary championship title belt from the World Boxing Council in 1993, as did Joey Giardello at the same banquet held in Las Vegas.

Carter's saga inspired the novel The Devil's Stocking by Nelson Algren, and a 1999 feature film called The Hurricane starring Denzel Washington in the title role.
