Becoming A Motivational Speaker

While serving time in Rahway State Prison, Carter’s lawyers would continue to appeal his case, which ended up going to trial once more, where he was unbelievably convicted again. Then in 1985, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey went over Carter’s attorneys writ of habeas corpus, and after reassessing the case, shared “predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure,” which ended up in granting Carter his freedom in November of the same year. Carter’s story not only inspired music legend Bob Dylan to write a song about him and his case called “Hurricane” while he was actually serving time in jail, but a movie about his life was also made. He eventually moved to Canada where he became a motivational speaker, and later on he sadly lost his life to cancer, but at least it was known that he was innocent the entire time.
