Rae Carruth, in his own words, on his son, his life and second chances

Former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth sent me several emails following our recent conversation at Carruth’s home in Pennsylvania.

After nearly 19 years, Carruth was released from a North Carolina prison in October following his 2001 conviction for conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams.

In November, Carruth and I began what turned into a multi-part, exclusive interview over several weeks. Part of that interview included Carruth answering some of my questions in emails that he said could be published here and also excerpted in the Charlotte Observer’s “Carruth” podcast.

While Carruth answered many questions about his current life and his future, he refused to talk about Adams’ murder, saying that wouldn’t help anyone involved.
