N/S Hernandez questioned in Murder Case (update - charged with murder, released by Pats MERGED) (2 Viewers)

I think its time to let this thread die. We condemn ESPN for reporting stories like this over and over and over again. Yet we prove them right as a provider of sports ENTERTAINMENT by showing the interest. Lets stop immortalizing killers with recognition.

I don't follow this logic. It's an actual news story, not some ESPN manufactured sports drama like their Tebow obsession. It isn't going to go away. You can ignore it if you want, but reporting will continue.

I, for one, appreciate the update. I don't watch the news really or keep up with this so other than this thread I would've never heard this most likely.

Aaron Hernandez being officially indicted. There is also a probable cause hearing scheduled today for 1:00.

Also first I'd heard that his girlfriend is possibly being looked at also for involvement for possibly removing murder weapon from his house.

Also, Rolling Stone reports that Hernandez was a “heavy user of angel dust” (which may or may not have been purchased from Louis Winthorpe III), that Hernandez’s paranoia prompted him to carry a gun “wherever he went,” that he “surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters,” that his parents and “much of his extended family” had criminal records, and that his mother, Terri, cheated on Hernandez’s father before he died with a “violent drug dealer” whom she would later marry.
Finally, the report contends that former Florida coach Urban Meyer “may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents — an assault and a drive-by shooting outside a local bar.”Report: Hernandez was on short leash before arrest | ProFootballTalk

Was Billy Ray Valentine and the Duke brothers involved also? Things those crazy Dukes will do for a $1 bet..

Exactly. This case is far from over with. There is still tons of questions left unanswered, and with each passing day, more and more people are found to be involved in covering up for Hernandez. This whole thing is not over for the Patriots either. I'm still curious to know who the other players are who were with Hernandez when he got dropped off at practice after committing a double homicide.

Also just how much did Urban Meyer cover up? Makes you wonder how much Belichick covered up also. This case is far from over. It will die when it dies, but until then, its not dead.

Specifically, coach Bill Belichick is blamed for replacing the team’s security chief, a former Massachusetts state trooper named Frank Mendes, with Mark Briggs, a Brit whose background was in providing security for Wembley Stadium. The story suggests that if the Patriots had kept Mendes, they would have known a lot more about Hernandez’s dealings with what Rolling Stone describes as “thugs” and “stone-cold gangsters.”
Rolling Stone also goes hard on Patriots owner Robert Kraft, calling his claim that he was duped “arrant nonsense.” According to Rolling Stone‘s reporting, Hernandez was regularly using illegal drugs, hanging out with criminals and getting mixed up in so many bad situations that the only way the Patriots wouldn’t have known is if they didn’t want to know.
Rolling Stone also details a confrontation Hernandez had with the Lloyd two days before Lloyd was shot and killed, and the magazine’s investigation offers some evidence that hadn’t previously been publicly disclosed, including that Hernandez’s home-security system caught him screaming “You can’t trust anyone anymore!” shortly after he and Lloyd exchanged angry words at a nightclub. (Hernandez apparently destroyed some, but not all, of the footage from his home security system before police searched his house.)
Despite the chilling murder scene Rolling Stone describes at the opening of the article, the end of the article quotes legal experts suggesting that the prosecution’s case is not open-and-shut, and that Hernandez could be acquitted by convincing a jury that it was actually one of his friends, Ernest Wallace or Carlos Ortiz, who killed Lloyd.Rolling Stone story goes hard on Patriots

Unless one of those 2 have already been flipped and is a key witness for the prosecution.

Like NFL reporters, legal "experts" can only base their reports on what's been released or leaked but on a broader scale. I don't think anyone really knows yet if one of the other 2 participants has already turned a long term prison sentence into a negotiating tool against the others to preserve their own well being. Which if that is the case, would likely mean it'll be harder for AH and the 2nd one to get a deal now IMO.
