Rae Carruth Appealing Conviction In Federal Court

Discussion in 'NFL General Discussion' started by BigBlueBruiser, Oct 26, 2010.

  1. Lawyers for former Carolina Panthers player Rae Carruth are asking a federal appeals court to reconsider his conviction for plotting to kill his pregnant girlfriend. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond will hear oral arguments in the case Tuesday. Carruth's attorneys argue that statements Cherica Adams made to a paramedic, a nurse and police implicating Carruth after the shooting should not have been used in Carruth's 2001 trial because they couldn't cross examine her. Adams died weeks after she was shot four times in November 1999. Her baby with Carruth survived and is being raised by Adams' mother.

    If he hasn't, I really hope he does after this. What kind of hecked up thing is that? How hecked up is that lawyers moral compass to try and say he couldn't cross examine Rae's DEAD girlfriend and that shouldn't be admissible. What a hecked up guy. I hope that this hecker dies in prison.
