Judge erases Aaron Hernandez
And now we possibly understand why he committed suicide. He sacrificed himself to make sure his wife and daughter are taken care of. It's sad that the system could be manipulated like this. I like that his daughter potentially won't have to suffer for his bad decisions, but I can't act like this is some noble thing he did either.
What a crazy situation all around.
To me, once convicted, you are guilty. An appeal should be considered a mechanism for someone who is guilty to prove his innocence. The idea that appealing a court finding makes the original court finding invalid in a pending manner is silly.
