Oh my goodness, is Hernandez comparing himself to a sacrificed Christ? WOW, this guy was nuts
He may have been acquitted in the double murders, but he wasn't innocent in the Odin Lloyd murder. He was, and is, guilty of that in the eyes of the law.
the law is the law and in the state of Massachusetts that is not the case, their abatement law supersedes the quilt or conviction in case of a death... so even tho he was founded guilty he was in the process of appealing the ruling and the law states that he was innocent of any crime at the time of his death...
Because he needed to stand trail for the other crimes he was accused of. If found guilty, it wouldn't have made a difference of him getting out true but justice would have been sort. It would have also given those other families closure. Besides; if he was found guilty, he might have gotten the death penalty
Yeah, I think if he put a bullet in one of our loved ones we'd want him to have to stand trial, something acknowledging the crime and hopefully some sort of punishment. Not that they got that...
Agreed
One less scum bag to house and feed.
You are right, technically. In this case, because he had an active appeal filed at the time of his death, the Lloyd murder conviction is off the books. Basically, his appeal is "successful" solely by virtue of him dying during it.
Note to everyone: In for murder in Massachusetts? Keep filing appeals, so that when you die, the murder will come off your record.
Patriots now might owe Aaron Hernandez millions
Now that Aaron Hernandez may have his conviction posthumously vacated — under an obscure Massachusetts legal doctrine — the Patriots could owe him money, a lawyer said Thursday.
The Pats may actually be contractually obligated to pay Hernandez’s estate a $3.5 million bonus that was stopped hours after his murder arrest in 2013, attorney William Kennedy told the CBS affiliate in Boston.
Kennedy represents the families of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu. Hernandez was acquitted in their shooting murders last week — only to commit suicide Wednesday in the Massachusetts prison cellwhere he was serving life without parole for another murder.
The Patriots may also owe Hernandez an additional $2.5 million in guaranteed base salary that was also halted after his 2013 arrest, lawyer Michael Coyne told CSNNE.com.
The Furtado-de Abreu wrongful death suit is one of three victim lawsuits still pending against the Hernandez estate; lawyers in the cases say they will continue seeking compensation despite the disgraced player’s suicide.
Sweetening that pot, legal experts believe Hernandez’s murder conviction — for the 2013 shooting death of his pal, semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd — will likely now be vacated under an archaic legal doctrine, memorialized in Massachusetts case law, called “abatement ab initio.”
Hernandez had been appealing the murder conviction at the time of his suicide. Since that appeal will now never be resolved, under “abatement” he would get a posthumous benefit of the doubt — meaning under the law, it would be as if he’d never been charged, tried or convicted.
A Patriots spokesperson told The Post that it was against team policy to discuss the financial details of player contracts.
It is unclear what the Hernandez estate is worth; four years ago, he signed a $40 million contract with the Patriots. He forfeited at least half of that when he was arrested for the Lloyd murder a year later, in 2013.
His sprawling, 5,600-square-foot mansion in the Boston suburb of North Attleborough was listed for sale a year ago at $1.5 million. But in a legal proceeding in 2015, a lawyer representing Hernandez in civil court claimed his client had run out of money, telling a judge, “There’s nothing left here as a practical matter.”
Hernandez is survived by his 4-year-old daughter, Avielle, and her mother, his former fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins.

This might explain his suicide. If someone, told him that this would be possible and he can leave some $ behind for his daughter, then I definitely see the suicide as legit and not some murder.
This whole story was always weird and bizarre. Even the prosecution's story doesn't explain how this guy just outright decides to murder someone. Let alone his future brother in law. I know society makes murder seem like an easy step for people, but it really isn't. There's something bizarre involved, and we will never know what it is.

Wrong. There's no way he would ever get the death penalty. He was being tried in all charges within the state of Massachusetts. That's a state court. Massachusetts does not carry the death penalty. If he had been tried in a federal court, he may have been eligible for the death penalty, but he was not.

Aaron Hernandez left behind a note for his gay prison lover: report
ANDY CLAYTON
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Friday, April 21, 2017, 12:38 PM
One of the three handwritten notes Aaron Hernandez left behind after hanging himself in his single cell was reportedly for his gay prison lover.
Although the existence of the notes was made public by prison officials Thursday, the Daily Mail is citing a "source close to the investigation" that one note was penned to a gay lover at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Mass.
The other two notes, according to the report, were written by the former Patriots tight end to fiancee Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez and their 4-year-old daughter Avielle.
Aaron Hernandez, a former New England Patriots NFL football player, was found dead in his prison cell from what officials announced was a suicide. He was 27. Five days prior a jury found Hernandez not guilty for the double homicide of two immigrants guned down in a 2012 drive-by shooting, though he was still serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
The notes were found next to a Bible opened to John 3:16. It was the same Bible verse that the convicted murderer had written on his forehead with a red marker, per Boston's Fox25.
Aaron Hernandez’s fiancée wants his death evidence preserved
Hernandez's gay lover is not identified in the Daily Mail exclusive, but he is reportedly on "eyeball to eyeball" suicide watch.
Hernandez, 27, the former Patriots star, was serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. The ex-NFL player had also been charged in a 2012 double-murder, but was found not-guilty of the crime just five days before he hanged himself using a bedsheet early Wednesday morning.
An autopsy performed on Hernandez's body confirmed suicide (asphyxia by hanging) as the cause of death.
Aaron Hernandez committed suicide early Wednesday morning at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts.
Citing a "well-placed" source, the Daily Mail also reports that Hernandez had covered the floor of his cell in soap in case he lost his nerve when trying to hang himself. He reportedly also gave away most of his personal belongings leading up to his Wednesday suicide.
Aaron Hernandez's kin to donate his brain for CTE disease study
Hernandez's lawyer, Ronald Sullivan, told the Boston Globe that the convicted killer had a telephone conversation with Jenkins-Hernandez about seven hours before his body was found. The Daily Mail's report suggests his gay lover was then the last person he spoke to before taking his own life.

I get your point, but I do think each crime needs to be adjudicated.
As far as the protection from civil litigation, I wonder if the court could still follow the appeals process and have his estate assign council to represent him. Then the appeal process could be exhausted, and Odins family could sue.

Looks like a judge threw out his murder conviction. Sorry, but HAHA!! And maybe the Pats would owe him/estate money since he is no longer a convicted felon.
Would this count against the Pats' cap?
It seems like it should, but this seems to be back payment. I'm not sure if it was already counted during the contract years. Don't worry, Belickek will find a way to sleeze out of it.
