the car was a rental in hernandezs name, the cops went to check on the car and found it had been cleaned, in the trash they found a bullet casing that the girl who cleaned the car said she found under the seat
whoops #2
the shell was stuck to a piece of blue bubble gum when it was found under the seat by the cleaning girl. the shell has the dna of hernandez on it from the gum
WHOOPS
It's over. Aaron Hernandez found dead in jail cell. Apparent suicide. What a waste of a life that once had a lot going for it. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...ad-prison-cell
That's a shame.
Good riddance. He finally killed someone who fully deserved it.
Big parts of humanity are lost. So sad.
not the gansta, he wanted everyone to think he was, after all.
OK, I'll say it. He was murdered. At least that's what I originally thought. No big loss to society.
Something very odd happened to this kid in what publicly seems like the space of 10 years (actually less).
He lost his father while he was in high school. I wonder if that not so much precipitated his decline but removed someone he could rely on to control it. He went south very quickly after this (father died of complications due to surgery when he was 16).
Radio is all over the map on this guy today, engaging in hoary stereotype after hoary stereotype. Both Dan Patrick and his producer Pabst made mention of his tough upbringing. When they actually had a guest on who knew his story (Tom Curran) it was pointed out that he had a thoroughly middle class childhood with two parents living and siblings.
And he was charming enough to sway Robert Kraft and the team to give him that contract. This was after a shady record at Florida that saw him leave school early in a decision that seemed to be applauded by both the player and the college. His behavior in college was the reason he dropped in that draft.
I would not be stunned if he had mental health issues predating all these things.
Its a terrible story that has taken a huge toll on a lot of families.
he was bully and a thug. we all knew guys like that growing up. on top of that he got the special treatment that star athletes get so he was used to getting his way with no consequences.
The timing of this does seem strange. He hangs himself a few days after being acquitted on a double murder change. His attorney was preparing to appeal his conviction in the Odin Lloyd murder. Seems like a strange time for him to commit suicide.
reportedly had a bible verse written on his head.
I don't remember that translation of John 3:16

That was my original thought KY. Joe said a lot of why, the timing was oddly curious. Apparently Maryland law says his conviction is overturned if he dies before an appeal is heard. If his contract is unvoided and his daughter gets his money, I can see that as motive for hanging himself. If he had any chance of winning his appeal it is very strange timing.
I've seen that same speculation in other places - this was a way to get his girlfriend and daughter some money. Hard to tell who will be first in line for whatever is left. His lawyer is also making rumblings about looking into his death, he sees more billable hours I'm sure.
Does anyone know how the payment of his bonuses from the Patriots worked out? There were some unpaid amounts that were 'guaranteed', including a deferred part of his signing bonus, and the team was trying to get out of paying them.
the $ go to the daughter thing...http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/al...of-mail-042117
Apparently there is verbiage in the contract with N.E. that says any legal trouble that makes Aaron unavailable to the team could void portions of his contract.
Like I said it was just speculation. And with the possible motive, who knows what he had going through his head at the time.
The timing is still curious for me.
