A monster is free. Rae Carruth was released from jail today, October 22, after serving nearly 19 years behind bars. The disgraced former Carolina Panther was released from a correctional institution about 190 miles east of Charlotte. 19 years ago Carruth went to jail for plotting the murder his 7-month-old pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams who was shot by a hitman hired by Carruth. Adams didn’t immediately succumb to her injuries and managed to implicate Carruth in a chilling 911 call. She died four weeks later.
