Massachusetts prison officials say former NFL star has hanged himself in his cell and has been pronounced dead at a hospital. He was 27.kinda strange, as he was just found not guilty of another killing so his prison sentence wouldn't have been extended. link

Sad end to a wasted life.
Can't extend a life without parole sentence anymore than it is. Guess he felt like he couldn't do the time. The callous person in me says he just saved US taxpayers a bunch of $$.

And acquitted at that ... hope the full story eventually comes to the surface ... son of a gun ... Cheers. He was found guilty of murder (Odin Lloyd)in 2015, and was serving a life without parole sentence at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. Known as one of the most high-tech prisons in the US. He was found not guilty of two murders (Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado) last week, but was to continue serving his life sentence for the previous murder. |

If I'm not mistaken, this trial he was acquitted for is for events that took place before the murder he was convicted on. One of the factors that the jury into consideration during that trial was that the victim knew too much about Aaron's activities. It added to the premeditation of the murder, and is part of why he likely got life without parole. Had it been in a state with the death penalty, he'd likely have received that. |

I didn't follow his situation all that closely because it didn't interest me ... come to think of it, I might be one of the few people who didn't pay too much attention to the OJ Simpson murder trial either ... don't get me wrong, I saw the opening of the trail and its ending, but I didn't really follow it all the way through ... Hernandez's trial was similar to me ... I could have looked it all up myself, but I'm not on the internet near as much as I used to be ... thanks for the info ... Cheers. |

One strange and maybe even disturbing aspect of Hernandez' death is that his original murder conviction will probably "disappear". "Under Massachusetts law, defense attorneys can seek to have convictions vacated when a defendant dies before an appeal is heard." (This quote comes from a story on The Score.) Apparently it's been done in the past. That would be a real kick in the gonads for the family of Odin Lloyd (and any others that Hernandez murdered).

That might be the only good thing to come out of this. That said, I believe there is a civil wrongful death suit in the works so that might complicate things. |
