Carter's case attracted international attention. After several new trials, he was found innocent and in 1985, was released from prison. Mr. Carter had served nineteen years in prison for a crime he did not commit. He has testified before the United States Congress to promote the need for preserving federal review of state court convictions and has lectured at several universities including Harvard Law School and Yale Law School.
