Former NFL wide receiver Rae Carruth was released from prison Monday morning after serving an 18-year sentence for conspiring to murder the mother of his unborn child.Carruth, 44, was found guilty of orchestrating a plot to kill Cherica Adams in 1999 to avoid paying child support. Adams was shot four times while driving her car, but she managed to make a 911 call that helped implicate Carruth in the scheme. Adams died less than a month later.
The child she was carrying, Chancellor Lee Adams, was delivered by emergency cesarean section. However, the child suffers from permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy.
Carruth told WSOC-TV he hoped to be forgiven and spoke about how he was frightened about his release.
“I'm nervous just about how I'll be received by the public. I still have to work. I still have to live. I have to exist out there and it just seems like there is so much hate and negativity toward me,” he said.
