I used to feel I could trust everybody and be good toward everybody. It took a little away from me. All the way around, it took a lot out of me. I'm not the same Chico I used to be. That's sad, but that's the truth.
Corrales is angry about two situations that have occurred in the past year.
The first involves a legal situation in which he is accused of beating his pregnant 98-pound wife, Maria, last summer in their Sacramento, Calif., apartment. Corrales vehemently denies the charges but said the media tried and convicted him before he ever had his day in court. Every day, he said, he awakened to read reports about himself on the Internet. That kind of stuff would have an impact on anybody. You read stuff about yourself that's not true and see people saying things when they don't know one fact, it hurts.
