Carter served time in reform
school, was separated from the Army after four courts-martial, and was sent
to prison for committing two brutal street muggings, all before he was 22.
He became a middleweight contender in the 1960s. His boxing career ended
after he and a friend were charged with murdering three people in 1966.
Carter was found guilty in two different trials, but a federal judge freed
him in 1985 because of misconduct by prosecutors.
