Rae Carruth -- the piece of garbage NFL star WR who hired a hitman to kill his pregnant girlfriend -- is being released from prison Monday, 19 years after the deadly incident.
Rae was a talented football player -- the Carolina Panthers took him in the 1st round of the 1997 NFL Draft and made the NFL All-Rookie Team after a pretty solid rookie season.
But, he threw it all away in Nov. 1999 when he conspired with a gunman to murder 24-year-old Cherica Adams, who was 8 months pregnant with his child.
