Rae Carruth's Appeal Bid Denied

CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) - Former Carolina Panthers player Rae Carruth was denied a request for a new trial in the 1999 shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend.

Judge Charles C. Lamm Jr. on Monday rejected defense arguments that a 911 call made by Cherica Adams moments after her shooting should not have been allowed into evidence at Carruth's 2000 trial.

Lamm's six-page ruling concluded that the tape of the call was properly introduced and did not violate Carruth's constitutional right to be able to confront his accuser.

Added Lamm: "It may have been better if his appeal was on the basis of his not actually killing her, rather than because he killed her, she was unavailable to be questioned."
