Comments on: Rae Carruth’s son and an incredible story of forgiveness

I am just reading this story… How can someone be so heartless? How can someone atempt to murder a life that they’ve created? I hope the inmates have and continue to kick his butt. I wonder if this man has any remorse for his actions or if he’s simply grieving the loss of his carrer… After reading that his 1st son’s mother said “don’t be supprised if you happen to get in a accident”, how can this man be granted the opportunity to ever walk the streets again? This little boy has touched my heart & I don’t even know him. I just want to take the time to tell Chancellor Lee Adams (even if he doesn’t get this message)that he has made me appreciate what I have and I will try not to complain too much. This little boy has put a smile on my face from just reading about how joyful he is after all he has been through.

I am watching the story of this even now on TVONE and just in awe that a man can be so heartless. Men must step up to their responsibilities when they decide they want to lay with women with no protection. Sex with no condom = children, stds’s and responsibilities! Women: take responsibility for yourselves. Every man who pursues is not worthy to sleep with you ESPECIALLY with no protection. Men who risk losing something will result to hurting you. Her mother is a strong and faithful woman to forgive him but she forgave him for herself and her own peace of mind and that is the best she can do. May Cherica’s soul rest in peace and may that beautiful boy be filled with abundant love and continue to be a source of happiness to all who meet him.

Ray Carruth is a greedy psychopath. He should never get out of jail. I think he could easily murder again. People who meet carruth after he is paroled should run from him as fast as they can, and no woman should ever open her legs for this devil. He is completely without conscience that’s why he will continue to damage and murder others in a free society. I pray he makes a mistake with his parole and he gets life but not at the expense of murdering another human life.

Great inspirational story.

I feel sorry for Carruth & his mom, to live life knowing that you raised such a monster (especially to feel the way he do toward females & his offsprings, her future grandkids)?! I am in awe.

RIP Cherica Adams.

It is a fine quality for one to be able to forgive the unforgivable, not for the benefit of the offender, but for the benefit of the living victim.

This is something the family needs to move forward with their lives.

But that doesn’t mean that the rest of us need to show any such forgiveness.

To all of you who say he should stay alive so he can think about what he did and regret it forever or meet his son and be filled with regret, it’s a nice thought. HOWEVER….I think that “people” who do the types of things he did aren’t normal with normal human emotions or they wouldn’t be capable of doing what they did to begin with. An example of feelings/actions displayed by normal person who kills someone (albeit accidentally) is Stallworth. He WAS filled with remorse and he DID do as right as he could for the guy’s family from minute 1. Anyone think Carruth is capable of that?My answer is “heck no”.

Maybe when he gets out, somebody will lock him into the trunk of a car with a pee bottle and some Snicker Bars!

I volunteer to purchase several copies of the latest Sports Illustrated and send them to the prisoners that share cells with Rae Carruth. After they read the story I don’t think he’ll be getting out in 6 years.

I read this incredible article, what an amazing family. We could all take lessons from her. It is hard to believe he will get out and be free to have a life. What a miscarriage of justice.

I’m far from being a religious person, in fact I have no faith, live life like there is nothing after……but I can’t think of any other words to describe this…… for every devil, there is an angel. She deserves all the help and goodwill that results from this going main stream, what an amazing woman and what a horrible person Carruth is. I’m happy her story is out there, I’m sure she will have all the financial help she needs, she’s way ahead of that spiritually.

I Remember when this case went to trial,and i remember when he got caught running away and was caught hiding in the trunk of some woman in another state.I Am glad this child can forgive him for ruining his life and taking his mother’s life, I just hope for his soul’s sake,The Good Lord forgives him when he has his judgement day,or else he’ll roast in hell where he belongs!

Jail house rules say this monster should be dead already. Minus this animal, what a touching story.

Why do people on here feel the need to give a thumbs down to a story like this? What a bunch of tools that do.

Saundra Adams has a bigger heart and a better soul than I do. No way could I forgive Carruth in her position.

In fact, if I were in her position Rae’s killers’ would already be hired. He needs to be in hell where he belongs.

Dasmoth (hope I got it right) said it the best…forgiveness frees the soul.
As an original member of the “billy bad-ass” club, nothing has ever compelled me to sign up and actually comment.

This beautiful lady and her faith in the best mankind can be changed that.

Thank you for reminding all of us what is truly right, and most important in this world….love, compassion and soul.

I am all for cutting people slack and giving them a second chance, that said – that is one of the most horrific, pre-meditated crimes that I have ever heard of. Rae carruth should be put down verrrrry slowly and with a lot of suffering – he is a true disgrace to the human race.

I will never understand how greed can make people do these hideous things. He could have had it all, & money. His priorities were twisted. Had he ever had the chance to see his son born, & looked at him, I like to think he might have saw things differently. How very sad..

My beautiful 8-year-old daughter just walked into the room…looking at her makes what he did all the more incomprehensible.

Carruth will still be a young man when he is released – that makes me sick.

Thats our justice system. Child molesters and men who conspire to murder or have people murdered get to walk free. We are weak in america in alot of ways. To much sympathy. If someone stole from a store and they got caught, and we chopped their hand off….does anyone think people would think twice? I do. But all it is is a usless personal opinion. Hope this man has the power to change. He definatley doesnt deserve a second chance.

This is a touching story of forgiveness from the Grandmother, but what I saw was that Chancellor does not yet know what happened. One day he will know. I just hope that this kid’s “light” is not extinguished that day.

Put the small-time drug dealer in prison for 40 years.

And let the murderer go after 15.

It’s a national embarrassment.

I really hope that the guys in prison with him read this story.
————–

He was in PC for the first couple of years, and has been moved a couple of times since he got locked up. Trust me, people were looking for him on the inside. I was living in NC at the time that this happened and I was furious when that girl died. Other guys were apparently more than furious, but they have done a good job in protecting him. He’ll be haunted by what he did. Someone “doing the right thing” is too easy for him. Let him live with the agony and THEN have to face God for it when his time is up. That is the most utter form of torture that he can have.

Only reason Carruth didn’t get life was because he didn’t pull the trigger. Stupid NC laws. The premeditation and conspiracy should have been enough for 1st/life without parole.

How do you guys rationalize spewing so much hatred and ugliness out of your hearts towards Carruth (a man you’ve never met), when the very woman who has the most reasons to hate him the most does not???
