Download Freeing David McCallum: The Last Miracle of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter AudioBook Free
In Apr 2014, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter died after an extended battle with cancer tumor. David McCallum was exonerated and freed 8 weeks later, after providing 29 years in jail. This is actually the report of how Carter and his good friend and coauthor Ken Klonsky performed for a decade to help free the wrongfully convicted McCallum, plus a group of dedicated friends and specialists. It details their battles from founding an innocence project to take on the case, to locating lawyers prepared to work pro bono, to employing a private detective to dig through old facts and find original witnesses, and the most challenging part, convincing members of an deeply flawed unlawful justice system to reopen a case that would expose their own flaws when all they wanted to do was ignore the conflicting facts. Finally it had taken a new region law firm, a documentary film, and an op-ed piece compiled by Carter on his loss of life bed publicized in the New York Daily Media that made a plea for McCallum's release and transformed the tide of justice. Freeing David McCallum explains to a tale of stress, agony, and undying hope, and the miracle that resulted in David's release.
