It’s really sad that we live in a world where we can’t trust people anymore, even the ones who thought they were are friends. The ruling on Wednesday for former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Reggie Rucker is a great example of this.
Rucker was sentenced to 21 months in prison for stealing money from charities to satisfy his gambling habit. Last February, Rucker plead guilty to the charges of wire fraud and false statement charges after the Federal Bureau of Investigations determined that Rucker stole over $100,000 from the charities.
Since this news broke last year, it has hit me pretty hard.
