A Crime Swept Away By A Hurricane

No matter how you come away from this podcast believing or understanding as the truth of this story, Steve Crossman, a British sports journalist, does a wicked job off re-investing the triple murder homicide from June 1966 in Paterson, NJ where Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and 19-year old, John Artis, are convicted (twice). After a writ of habeas corpus, Carter is released by a Federal Judge after serving nearly 20 years for triple life sentences. The investigation is in-depth and includes never before heard audio cassette tapes of Carter, the investigation detective, witnesses and more which will leave you mesmerized! If you enjoy true crime and learning more about the racial inequalities during the 1960s, this series will captivate you! The song, the movie and the books are back on my radar! #EyeOfTheHurricane 👁

I was in college when the Bob Dylan song Hurricane came out and it was one of wmy favorites. I never new what happened after that. Now i have a good idea. Thank you. The story is unfortunately very relevant to the social injustice that is still prevalent. Sadly nothing has changed in 50 years.
Captivating

The story was new to me; maybe it’s my lack of culture or my age (36). Regardless the podcast was captivating and the message is not nebulous. It speaks of endurance and resilience. Glad I came across this podcast.
