After the murder of Odin Lloyd in New York City, NFL player Aaron Hernandez decided to write a letter to his fiancee, urging her to “keep off social media.” The letter was sent from behind bars, and has gone viral, costing TMZ sports more than $18,000 in traffic. The letter was written to an ex-convict named Karl, whom he knew only as “a little brother.”
In August 2012, Hernandez signed a contract extension with the Patriots after failing a drug test during his junior year at Florida. Two months later, the Patriots released Hernandez, and the NFLPA filed grievances on his behalf. The team announced that Hernandez would be freed from his sentence and would not be eligible for the Super Bowl. TMZ reported that Hernandez had a history of substance abuse.
After a failed drug test, Hernandez is indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and other charges in the shootings. He pleads not guilty and is then charged with assault after a fight with a fellow inmate. His trial continues for the murder of Lloyd, which carries a mandatory life sentence of life without parole. A year later, he is indicted for another charge, witness intimidation. After a two-year trial, he is acquitted of a double homicide charge. He was pronounced dead at 4 a.m.
The trial is ongoing. Although the trial is in its early stages, Hernandez has already confessed to violating a drug test during his sophomore year at the University of Florida. His arrest is made public in February 2011, and he was convicted of both charges. He is still serving his life sentence in prison. He is also charged with a second charge of witness intimidation. In March 2014, Hernandez was acquitted of both counts of double homicide and acquitted of the other. However, the day before his execution, he is pronounced dead.
On February 21, Hernandez underwent hip surgery to correct his hip injury. He had injured his hip in Week fifteen of the previous season and was forced to take time off from football. His fiancee was in jail with him at the time of the shooting. She was later arrested and found guilty of the murders. After the trial, she was able to return home. In January, she gave birth to her first son, who died at age of 21.
The family of Hernandez has also been the subject of much speculation. While the family and friends are concerned about the young Hernandez’s safety, their children and the lives of his parents are not. While he did not commit a violent crime, he suffered physical abuse from his father. In February 2011, he is arrested for murdering her father and receiving a life sentence. Despite his incarceration, the Gators win the BCS championship for the second time in three years.
In June 2013, Hernandez is indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and two other charges. After a trial, he is convicted of both counts. He was indicted for double homicide in 2012, but was acquitted of the charges. He had been arrested for a second murder in the same neighborhood, but he had been acquitted of the murder.
In September 2012, Hernandez is indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and several other charges, including aggravated assault. He pleads not guilty to both. He is later indicted for the murder of Lloyd, a charge that carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without parole. In April 2013, Hernandez is acquitted of both counts. In the same day, he is sentenced to death.
In 2012, Hernandez was charged with murdering Safiro Furtado in the South End neighborhood. The incident occurred after he failed a drug test in his college days. The following year, he was released from the Patriots. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. After the trial, he was indicted for a second time, but acquitted.
