Ya New Jersey is correct, but I was looking for specifically Paterson, New Jersey, as I figured enough people have read about Ruben Carter and likely someone would either know it by that, or live in close proximity.

I never really had an inclination one way or another to his guilt or innocence, as i didn't know much regarding it..only saw the movie. So I did some researching on it last night and I think it is fair to say that the movie was not a very good factual interpretation of the events and life of the Hurricane. It would seem Norman Jewison used more then a little creative licence to portray Ruben Carter as a man falsely persecuted.

I found this an interesting read.
