The Tampa Bay Times reports that despite the media swarm, Rae Carruth, who now goes by Rae Wiggins, kept schtum as he exited the Sampson Correctional Institution in 2018. Carruth, who never admitted his guilt or acknowledged any part in the murder of his girlfriend, had been an English major at UNC.

“I bet you’ve never sensed the animals’ pain, humility or rage. Because it’s impossible to conceive unless you’ve lived on both sides of the cage,” it ends. However, unlike gorillas, giraffes, or gazelles, Carruth could enjoy exercise breaks, as many ramen noodles as you can eat, phone calls, and visits with loved ones.
