This fucking guy.

The guy is getting out in October, and he pens a letter to the grandmother of his son asking for custody when he gets out. Keep in mind the grandmother is raising the child because Carruth had the mother killed, which resulted in the child developing cerebral palsy. Hollywood loves those redemption movies where the convict with a heart gets out of prison to develop a relationship with his child that he never met i.e. Con Air.

But I can't wait for this one.

"Hey son. Great to finally meet you! Sorry you have a cerebral palsy because I had your mother murdered. You want to toss the football around?"

Seconded.... heart wrenching segment on Real Sports was done on this last year. If you can find it On Demand check it out.
The grandmother is a saint.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPk6vgYtcrs

I didn't know he is getting out. The Bears do need some help at WR.

Denied.

Finally took ownership of what he did.

Not sure if you are being facetious. So you think he should raise his son?

Seacrest is sincere, he is a religious man.. I don't think Caruth should have ever been paroled, he deserved life without parole.

I actually feel a little pity for him, it probably never crossed his mind that what he was doing seemed inappropriate. I do hope that he gets to
make his amends someday, in some form or fashion... a few quotes from him below....


"For all involved or invested in this ordeal, please calm down," Carruth wrote in the letter to the newspaper. "I will no longer be pursuing a relationship with Chancellor and Ms. Adams. I promise to leave them be, which I now see is in everyone's best interest."

Carruth wrote that including in the first letter his desire to enter Chancellor's life was a mistake and he admitted that was too optimistic, even though he still wants to "make amends with Chancellor and try to be the father that I should have been from day one.''

"I now understand that any notions of me one day being welcome to Sunday dinner is totally out of the question," Carruth wrote in the second letter, which was postmarked Feb. 21. "And lastly, I didn't foresee the media and general public being unanimous in its belief that I shouldn't be allowed to ever have anything to do with Chancellor."

Good. More time to concentrate on football.

I hope he is re-united one day with his son.

Good to see he dropped his plans for custody. It sounds like he will be happy to step up when grandma is gone.

Rae Carruth: Son, please don't mistake misconstrue statements as a plea for gun control. Gun laws won't keep firearms out of my hands and bullets out of people you love.

That last sentence was an unfortunate choice because up to that point it read as introspective and thoughtful, or at least as much as is possible in this situation.

Sounds like someone didn't get a hold of noted father's rights attorney Jeffery Levin

it could be worse, he could be adopted by a gay couple

Yup. God did him a favor by banning that.
