He's all done. He'll be screwed on the double-murder charge anyway even if he had an appeal overturn the conviction.
Of course. That will seal the deal. He's done. Those families deserve justice as well, no matter what those guys were up to. He's gonna get punked if he goes to Shirley. Probably getting PC'ed to Norfolk. With his high profile he's basically going to an isolation unit for about 15 years.
A couple of comments on the comments
1. I was pleasantly surprised by the jurors' results when I first heard. I was getting worried that they weren't going to find him guilty. The fact is that although the circumstantial evidence was strong, the lack of the gun, motive, or much physical evidence could have made it tough to convict if you saw it that way.
2. I am a proud, born and bred, native of MA. We aren't perfect (see our driving), but as a state, we've proven to be more often on the right side of things than not.
3. I was particularly proud of how our citizens handled the Boston Marathon Bombing and the next few days. There was no rioting or looting. The most stubborn and independent people in the country, actually obeyed the authorities and stayed offf the streets the next few days and allowed the criminals to be caught. There were no repercussions after their capture toward innocent Moslems, or Chechnyan's Boston Strong was more than just a logo on a tee-shirt
4. I felt that same pride when the verdict came out. It was clear to all who saw juror press conference that these were ordinary citizens who did their duty took it seriously and worked at it. Reporter after reporter couldn't say more about these people after hearing them out. Like many said, juries like this are what show why the jury system works" "The Jury system at its best", etc, etc "Clearly it wasn't about THEM, it was about the process"
5.Aaron Hernandez is a sad morality tale of a terribly wasted life. Regardless of the life he grew up into, there was no longer a need for him to still be in it at that stage of his life. I hope that at some point of his incarceration THAT realization strikes home. In the end it could simply be that the guy is a certified sociopath and he's where he best belongs.
6. Easy of critics to dump on the Pats that they should have known in advance. But the fact is that until his arrest, Hernandez had never missed a meeting, practice, or charitable obligation during his time with the Pats. It was like he had a double life that he kept separate.
7. The fact is that if the Pats hadn't drafted him, someone else would have within the next round and he would have shown the same success for some other team those first 2 years. And when it all blew up, like it did, there would have been the same kind of surprise, followed by the legion of "I told you so's", by the judgmental. mediots.
