      No...she fell in love with his fame and status, and probably got pregnant on purpose so she could say that she has a child by a famous, rich person and thought she would be payed millions in child support. That's why she was so quick to say EXACTLY who he was in her 911 call....stating his name, number, AND his team. There was NO relationship...just SEX, and she was just as irresponsible as he was. She had her eyes on his money, status and fame. Now, her mom is left with the overwhelming responsibility, and financial obligations and burden of taking care of him for life. And, she is doing exactly what she HAD to do. She is a victim too, and I just pray for her to live a happy, long, rich life and that the child will always be taken care of by someone who really loves him.... NOT Rae Carruth!!

She is not at fault for anything that happened to her, real men do not go around killing their pregnant girlfriends, to avoid paying child support.

      I agree with you 100%. I use to be exactly like Cherica’s mom & still am in a way because I, too, have learned how to forgive those you hurt me. But what made me change is when I got into a relationship with a narcissist in 2017. Prior to him, I use to believe that all people were redeemable. But now I’ve gained a 3rd eye. I now see the world for it is. There are people who do good & there are people who do evil. I have never heard Ray Curruth publicly say “I attempted to kill Cherika & my unborn child & I’m truly sorry”. He will never utter these words because he’s a narcissist & a narcissist will never believe that they are wrong. The closest Ray Curruth has ever said is that “I’m sorry for the loss of your daughter”. This statement is not an admission of guilt. In fact, anyone can see these words, so he’s not standing out by saying that. I thank God for allowing my ex to come into my life in 2017 because if not I would still be naive til this day. Now I’m more cautious about who I allow to come into my life. I know the signs of narcissistic personality disorder & trust me I can spot a narcissist a mile away. Finally I’m starting to see this world how God sees it & not through my prior rose-colored lens.

Unfortunately Ray Carruth cannot change despite what he says & lies about. Trust me I get why the grandmother had to forgive this demon because she had move on with her life & not harbor any hate in her heart which can be toxic. A problem with many Christians (including myself) is that we think that God change anyone when in fact Jesus warned us to stay away from these people....calling them reprobate minds. Some people are just evil & incapable of changing or repenting of their sins(like the Pharisees and Sadducees)....that’s why hell was created for the devil & his angels. God is a God of love but he’s also a God of wrath and justice. So God doesn’t always forgive despite what Christians may think.

Even though this was such an horrific tragedy. I would say even though the shooter at the time Had a cold heart on the flip side deep down inside he really had a warm heart to write a letter and apologize for what he did even though it will not bring the mother of the child back but look what she left behind a handsome young fella that is striving to do daily task that’s easy for some of us to do every day.

Watching this has finally cleared up why he was never convicted of 1st or 2nd degree murder. How Van Bret Watkins got more than double the sentence of Rae Carruth. Finally I got the answer. The district attorney dropped the ball. They never considered 2nd degree murder, and 1 juror didn't agree with 1st degree murder. So in a sense justice fell short.
