Former NFL star released from prison after serving 18 years for conspiring to kill eight-month pregnant girlfriend
A former NFL football player who was convicted of conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend has been released from prison after serving his 18-year sentence. Rae Carruth, who was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the first round of the 1997 NFL draft, was found guilty of being involved in the murder of his then-girlfriend Cherica Adams and has served his sentence at the Sampson Correctional Institution in Clinton, North Carolina.
According to the Daily Mail, the now 44-year-old Carruth was seen sporting a knit cap and an unzipped jacket as he was escorted out of prison and into a large white SUV. He did not stop to speak to the reporters who had gathered at the scene, and scattered applause could be heard as he became a free man once again.
