IN THESE NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED PHOTOS FROM MARCH 21, 1976: Muhammad Ali, Heavyweight Champion of the World; Ron Lipton, who got Ali to support Carter and who had been Carter's sparring partner; Carolyn Kelley, Carter's top organizer in New Jersey and the woman who, several months later, accused him of beating her; Fred Hogan, who got the key witnesses against Carter to recant and was later accused of misdeeds by the prosecutor; Herb Jaffee, pro-Carter reporter for the Newark Star-Ledger; John Artis, Carter's co-defendant. Carter and Artis were set free on bail to await their new trial, which began eight months later. -- Photos by Cal Deal
