Rae Carruth, the former Panthers wide receiver who was convicted of conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams, will be greeted by his son and Cherica’s mother, Saundra, when he gets out of prison, according to a feature on the boy and his grandmother by the Charlotte Observer.
Cherica was eight months pregnant in December 1999 when she was shot to death by Van Brett Watkins, who testified in court that Carruth hired him to do the deed. The child, Chancellor Lee Adams, survived but was born with cerebral palsy and brain damage. He is now 17.
