After 19 years, former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth has offered a new explanation of the night his pregnant girlfriend was shot according to David Rudolf, who was Carruth’s primary defense attorney during his murder trial.
Carruth now says, according to Rudolf, that he was driving directly in front of Cherica Adams in a separate car on the night in 1999 that she was shot four times in Charlotte. When the shooting started, Rudolf said, Carruth fled the scene in a panic.
In an exclusive interview with the Charlotte Observer, Rudolf said he visited Carruth at a North Carolina prison in July.
