And civil rights lawyer Myron Beldock has died. Throughout the course of his legal career, Beldock championed the cases of those who had been discriminated against by the justice system. He is best known for defending Yusef Salaam, one of the five teenagers falsely convicted in the 1989 Central Park jogger case. He also defended former boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, who served 19 years in prison for three murders in New Jersey, before Beldock helped win his freedom.
