Panthers on Television...A&E???? WTF. Slanderous.

[jherald]

Anyone else watch the show on A&E called "City Confidential". It's a murder mystery show.

Well for those who don't watch it, I'll explain about the show first and then give you the Panthers connection.

The show starts off by talking about a particular city, in this case the city was Charlotte. It mentions lots of good and nice things about the city such as the banking industry in Charlotte. It then gives you somewhat of a cliff hanger and goes to commercial. Upon returning to the show from commercial break, it starts telling a story about the murder that took place.

So, I'm watching it last night about Charlotte. It stated that an NFL "star" was linked to a murder back in 2003 and it shows a young Smitty standing on the line of scrimmage. No one else in the shot. I was like, holy poo, Smitty linked to murder, I learn something new every day. Well when the show came back from commercial, it started talking about Rae Carruth. I don't even remember hearing about this. Apparently he murdered his girlfriend or was connected to it in some fasion.

Anyway, I was wondering to myself if Smitty even knows he's in the video or gave his permission at all.

I have it on DVR and I'm going to try and figure a way to get the video onto my laptop so that I can share with you guys that haven't seen it. Anyone know how I can do this easily?

You've never heard of Rae Carruth?

the video was prolly of Rae Carruth and not Smith, Carruth wore 89 at one point.

Your not from around here are you.

Yes I know who Rae Carruth is but I never heard of a murder connection. I had to transplant to Cincinnati before Carolina even had a team so I kinda end up out of the loop on current events in Carolina. Luckily, I found this awesome forum a couple of years ago to keep me abreast. "A breast...I love that word".

89...oh that makes sense. Was he built like Smitty because this looked an awful lot like Smitty.

I need to watch it again and post it.

:banghead:

Not by choice...got shipped to Cincinnati for work prior to Carolina even getting a franchise. Poo. I hate it here but the money is too good to argue with.

Have you just recently started following the Panthers? I don't mean that as an insult, I'm just shocked as hell you've never heard of Rae Carruth.

[jherald]

Sorry guys. I just never heard of the story, I know who Rae Carruth is and all but thought that he was just released or something.

I still chuckle sometimes when I'm walking around the stadium on gameday and see those random few that have decided to wear their Rae Carruth jersey's to the game.
