TORONTO, March 10 (UPI) -- Former middleweight boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, 76, wrongfully convicted of murder in 1967, is dying in Toronto of prostate cancer, his aide said Monday.
Carter and John Artis were convicted twice, in 1967 and 1975, for a triple homicide in a Paterson, N.J., bar. Carter moved to Toronto in 1985 after a federal judge overturned the convictions.
