Six days after the release of former Carolina Panthers receiver, Rae Carruth, where he served for nearly 19 years for conspiracy to commit a murder, Chancellor Lee Adams, Carruth's son , will attend the NFL Sunday game at Bank of America Stadium.
Thanks to Jason Underwood and the Carolina Panthers, Adams and his grandmother Saundra Adams will have access to the field, the seats of the lower sections and a special parking for the 13 hours. match against the Baltimore Ravens.
Underwood informed Riley Fields, Carolina's director of community relations, earlier in the week, that he had tickets for Chancellor and Saundra Adams at the top. Fields, aware that the Chancellor was born with cerebral palsy, upgraded them to VIP access to facilitate their movement.
Fields told ESPN Friday that he did not have to ask permission from the team's owner, David Tepper, nor anyone else in the organization, to perform the upgrades.
The Chancellor was born with congenital anomalies because he had been deprived of blood and oxygen while he was lying in the womb of his mother, Cherica Adams, after being shot at four times in a plot developed by Carruth in 1999.
The Chancellor was born a few hours after the murder. Cherica has not survived.
Carruth, Carolina's first-round pick in 1997, was sentenced to 18-24 years for his role in the murder. Now 44, he was released Monday from a North Carolina jail and would live out of the country.
"If Jason had not approached, I do not think we would have known that they would be here," Fields said. "I just thought we could do something to make the experience more positive while they're at the stage."
Saundra Adams told The Charlotte Observer, who initially announced Sunday's plans, "It's a nice gesture on the part of the team."
"We are both very excited," she added.
