I read The 16th Round as a youngster and for many years considered him innocent but have come to the point to see him as guilty for a lot of reasons.
His lifestyle was less then a model of a good citizen, father, and husband.
He hung out with "lowlifes". Out that fateful night drinking and crusin' with said lowlifes with wife and kids at home.
He career was already on the downslide at the time, despite Dylan's lyrics but hey, Bob wrote eulogies about George Jackson and John Wesley Harding as well, a pair of scumbags.
As previously mentioned was never found not-guilty.
Was released temporarily? in 1976 and was in attendance at the Ali-Young scrap. Didn't he assault that female reporter earlier that day?
But the most damning evidence comes from Ron Lipton, a former fighter, referee who considered Ruben his continuing friend years after the murders. He used to post extensively on another obsolete boxing website and is now convinced that his friend did the deed. He recalled watching a testimonial function after his release where various 'luminaries' were extolling his 'virtues' only to watch Ruben's body language thruout; stoic, with his head held low, obviously uncomfortable with everything they were saying about him. I could go on; you can google varies sites that go into detail event by event, times, evidence etc. that doesn't make it look very good for him.
My $0.02.

Hey Jowcol, are you referring to the "Cyber Boxing Zone"? I remember Ron Lipton posting extensively on there. He gave great insight into Carter. (As well as occasionally giving instruction videos on punching technique). I miss that website. Much less pointless arguing, and, more thoughtful postings.

Ron Lipton is awesome. Always loving read and listening to his insights.
