The first trial of Rubin Carter and John Artis in the spring of 1967.
This is the story of the first trial of Rubin Carter and John Artis in the spring of 1967. How did the prosecution convince the jury without any forensic evidence, without a motive or a confession? John Artis tells us what it felt like to hear the word “guilty”, and be told he’d been given a life sentence but avoided the execution that many thought would follow the conviction.
Presented by Steve Crossman. Produced by Steve Crossman and Joel Hammer for BBC World Service.
