Way too many pronouns in that sentence.

I was told there was a police report at time of incident but it was resolved quickly. What that means, I don't know.

It presumably means that the police checked it out, as they check out all gunshot wounds, and they elected not to pursue charges against Hernandez because the evidence that he did it was somewhere between non-compelling and nonexistent.

What i meant to say was that Hernandez likely knows something because he is so close to the victim and his death, If Hernandez knew who was murdered personally and by whom, he might be in trouble for not responding appropriately, especially if he hoped to protect the murderer.

Hard to imagine Hernandez didn't know something at this point.

Or it was determined to be an accident by all parties, including police.

Posted this in another thread. More bad news for our gun-toting tight end.

Aaron Hernandez Sued -- NFL Star SHOT ME in the Face | TMZ.com

The suit was dismissed.

aka..Hernandez paid the guy off.

...or after hearing a little, the judge said to the plaintiff "this is bull******, get outta my courtroom."

Has anyone considered the possibility the dude went to grab a pizza and got into a road rage incident? Dude gets out of the car, opens his big mouth, other guy pulls out a gun, shoots him in the head, and escapes the scene...

Car remains idling, the poor bastard's body is right next to it..... and AH has ZERO to do with it.

Most of us haven't considered any possibility because it's not worth the time or effort to fantasize about the ways a murder could have occurred. We have so little information that it's useless to speculate.

And, for what it's worth, one of the few pieces of information that we do have is that the victim's body was dumped where it was found, so your fantasy doesn't even work.

Dumped where it was found?

As in “I found my keys at the last spot I left them at”?


You mean the body couldn't have crawled by itself to another resting spot?

….genius….

Pretty easy to imagine it, from where I'm standing. Obviously all speculation, but say that Hernandez, the victim, and their girlfriends (who are sisters) were hanging out. The guy goes to pick up some beers/party supplies in Hernandez's rental car, and while he's out he gets shot for reasons that have nothing to do with Aaron.

That could explain everything that's happened up to this point. We obviously don't know, and probably won't for some time, but assuming the worst is no wiser than assuming the best.

 

[Salva135]

The fact that the body was just left there next to the car is really interesting. Why would Hernandez (or anybody) shoot a guy, just leave him there, and then leave the car? It makes no sense.

I've read this suggestion on another board, and it sounds somewhat plausible: that the victim was using the car rented out in Hernandez' name and went to the business park to meet someone for a drug deal or whatever, something bad goes down, victim gets shot when he's out of his car, and the shooter(s) drive off. Thoughts?

edit: similar to above

Can't speak for the guy you're quoting, but generally "dumped where it was found" would be taken to mean that evidence suggests that his body was moved after he was killed. We did hear that mentioned earlier this morning, so who knows.

Thank you. Don't quite understand why that was confusing.

I'm just speculating, but if they were dating sisters, my guess is Hernandez and the victim were probably friendly, especially if he's lending a car to him. That makes me think the victim was NOT killed by Hernandez. I'm thinking it could be one of the victim's gf's former boyfriends killing the guy out of jealousy. OR possibly a drug deal gone wrong. Just speculating, but the connection of the gf's being sisters, the first scenario makes more sense to me. Knowing the facts, Hernandez killing the guy makes no sense to me.

 

[Peachhead]

It does sound sketchy, but then again Hernandez hangs around sketchy people and has shown sketchy behavior. Wouldn't doubt it if he's the one who told the guy not to call police as it could jeopardize his career then promised to pay the guy's medical expenses, but the guy asked for way more than Hernandez agreed to.

Doctors have to report gunshot wounds to the police. So if Aaron told the guy "don't call the police" it wouldn't have done him any good AND would have done him a whole lotta bad. It would have opened him to all kinds of legal headaches. Witness tampering, etc.

I'm going with theory that the victim in that just wanted a mega-payday and wrongly accused AHern, then got laughed out of court, or dropped it after AHern's lawyer informed what a truly bad idea a frivolous suit against his client could be.

(That's if this lawsuit story is even legit. TMZ ain't exactly the NY Times or Washington Post.)

Not sure if this is on here yet, but here is a bit of analysis on the cap consequences for Hernandez, and to a less extent....Gronk.

Aaron Hernandez’ situation is a bit different as we are now looking at a potential off the field issue rather than an injury issue. I don’t think anybody knows what is really going on right now and its only fair to speculate that whatever is happening could prove to be a distraction to Hernandez. Hernandez already has a partial guarantee on his salary in 2014 and, unlike Gronkowski, no future options or vesting guarantees. He received a $12.5 million dollar signing bonus so the cost to release or trade next year would include $7.5 million in dead money just from that bonus. If the situation proves to be serious and Hernandez is unable to play in the NFL the Patriots would have the right to recover money already paid earning credits each year he is unavailable to the team. So the Patriots have plenty of protection in the event of the worst possible scenarios as we wait to learn more about what this ongoing investigation is really about.

If what's being said is true about Hernandez shooting a guy in the face after an outing at a strip club it's a real shame. I'd have to say he is a complete idiot who is ruining our season before it begins.

Miami police have NO report of a shooting

Chill

Several law enforcement agencies in Miami have told WBZ they have no record of alleged Feb.13 shooting incident involving Hernandez. #wbz

Typical fog of war confusion

In response to your comment about what a lawyer would do, I noted that I'm a lawyer. This is basic stuff.

But you're not a criminal lawyer, so really your opinion doesn't matter much.

Boy it must really really irritate you that as more comes out, it looks more and more like what I said was absolutely true.

Yes, I've responded to your posts. What does that have to do with my caring about what you think? You've made accusations which others might have been foolish enough to buy, so I've responded to them. If I ignore your posts, you'll claim I'm ignoring you because I'm afraid of you, or some other stupid thing.

Well I might say that, but if I did you'd look much less foolish that putting your foot in your mouth, which you have done repeatedly over the past 18 hours or so.

 

[SB39]

One stupid word I may say can cost me a suspension, or worse, being cut by the team.

Yes it is true one stupid word can potentially cost you a suspension or being cut by the team.

And you know what? Refusing to cooperate with the police can also potentially cost you a suspension or being cut from the team.

Define 'refuse to cooperate'....

I can define it as: "I refuse to answer any questions without my attorney present" - nothing wrong with that. It just the media likes to twist **** in the name of rating.
