0420-rubin-hurricane-carter-getty-02Boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter -- whose wrongful murder conviction in the '60s became an international symbol for racial injustice -- has died.

Carter died in his sleep Sunday at his home in Toronto where he had been getting treatments for prostate cancer ... according to reports.

Carter spent 20 years in jail for a wrongful murder conviction -- but he maintained his innocence the entire time.

0420-hurricane-carter-sub-getty-01Police arrested Carter in '66 for a triple homicide ... however, none of the eyewitnesses identified Carter as the shooter. Carter was tried and convicted twice -- but after the second conviction was overturned in 1985, prosecutors gave up.

Bob Dylan even wrote a song about the trial called, "Hurricane."



The boxer's life story was made into a movie in 1999 called "The Hurricane" and he was played by Denzel Washington. The actor was nominated for an Oscar for the role.

Michael Jackson - Liberian Girl

Image
This Is It has the Smooth Criminal scenes reminiscent of "Moonwalker"  Movie - Moonwalker contains the spiders - the three children similar to Prince, Paris & Blanket.  It involves Michael fighting the drug war... and in the end appears to leave in a "spaceship" of some sorts - and return in the end to the three children.  He takes them into the back door of what seems to be an other "theater" and then we see him performing "Come Together"  (I did a previous post showing how badly this was edited) A Friend of mine - Lisa - brought up Liberian Girl - we've known the references within the hoax the program offered at the Forest Lawn Service - with the picture of Michael as the director in which he says  "That's a Wrap" So I began looking a little closer at the video Liberian Girl Video Connection to Hoax in the Early Days Noticed the numbers on this sign that starts the video and changes it to color like...
