* LiesDamnLiesAndStatistics: The film was criticized for misrepresenting many of the facts of Carter's life and the case itself, as documented in both his criminal and military records, and police reports and court documentation. ''The New Yorker'' film critic David Denby called it "False, evasive and factually very thin, a liberal fairytale." Here's a list of the historical inaccuracies present in the film:
** Carter didn't stab a pedophile to protect him and a friend of his (as shown in the movie), in reality it was a robbery assault.
** Carter went to jail at the age of 14, and before his boxing career, he was convicted of three armed robberies.
** In his military career he was recalled four times by court-martial and later discharged for inadequacy for service, therefore his return as a decorated soldier is not true.
** It is not true that the two juries were both made up entirely of white people, the second contained two people of color who were also convinced of Carter's guilt.
** Canadian investigators found no new clues and were never threatened or attacked.
