Aaron Hernandez Dead

[goheels22002]

Prof. Ronald Sullivan was quick to get media attention on Hernandez acquittal. Not sure it looks so good now.

The Latest: Attorney calls Aaron Hernandez 'very good' man

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Anyone on a life without parole sentence should be allowed to opt out and take a shot to the head. The only shame here is that Hernandez had to do it himself. I bet most on life without parole would rather die. I know I would

His life's been over for a few years now. His body is just now catching up. What a sad story.

I'm not sure what the point of this story is.

Also, regarding how "easy" it is, if the shoe fits....

If you're not sure what the point of the story is, I'd suggest you read it again.

Aaron made a deal with the devil and now he gets to pay him back....sad but as Bill always says "it is what it is"

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

If the Giants didn't score on their final drive, Aaron Hernandez would have had the game winning TD catch in SB XLVI.

Would have been a really strange piece of Patriots history...

This is one of the weirdest feelings I've had involving sports. I'm not one to celebrate death, Hernandez was a troubled, in some ways downright evil man, but he was also a lot of other things to a lot of other people. Whatever caused his brain to warp and twist itself into justifying the actions he took can really happen to anyone. Nobody is born a murderer.

I don't feel sadness for him, I just feel accute disappointment.

The latest word is, Bill traded Hernandez to the Cleveland Browns at 2 a.m. today.

The next step for the families of the victims Hernandez was recently acquitted of any wrong doing would have been a much easier to prove civil suite. This would have stripped Hernandez's family from whatever $$ that was left. This move by Hernandez keeps that $$ for his finance's account.

Are you sure about that? They could always sue the estate.....

 

[Jackson 2]

D&C saying he killed Lloyd because he knew Hernandez was gay ...interesting to come out now. In any case may he RIP and hopefully he talked to God and asked for forgiveness. Prayers for his loving family and especially his beautiful daughter.

The most appropriate ending for those 2 radio assholes would be if they were poured, while still alive, with the cement into a building foundation. As long as we're on the subject of good riddance...

My 14 year old daughter (who's become a big Pats fan because of me) said this morning, "I don't know why I feel sad for him, but I do." That about sums it up for me.

Greenberg (jet fan) is delusional. Not a chance in hell the white house trip is cancelled.

Well to be fair, as a Rats fan, it's not like Greenberg has a lot of experience with this sort of thing.

I wouldn't bet on it. They're all capable of ending it like Hernandez did if they want to, but Hernandez (and cases like his) are the exception and not the rule. Most people on life without parole do everything they can to avoid the Big Sleep.

They were found "not guilty". Not "innocent". Only babies and children are innocent.

It's impossible to say if they were. In the eyes of the law, they didn't commit those crimes. Do I personally think both of them did it? Sure. But that's why you have to lead with "in my opinion" or "allegedly".

That's ironic, you never qualified any of your indictments of Hillary Clinton that way and she was never even prosecuted.


Hernandez was a murderer, period. I'm not celebrating his suicide the way those right wing @ssholes Kurt and Callahate are but I won't miss him either. So save your sanctimony for someone else.

 

[jah]

Wow. AH's story is a tragedy in every way.

Also wouldn't surprise me if this was not a "suicide"...

Because you kill your self when you just beat a double murder rap

Not a chance in hell I believe this

My 14 year old daughter (who's become a big Pats fan because of me) said this morning, "I don't know why I feel sad for him, but I do." That about sums it up for me.

My daughter, who is certainly older than yours, texted this to me this morning: "I know Hernandez did awful things but I have to say I'm in shock and feel horrible." Must be a daughter thing...

 

[AtomicDawg]

Prayers for his mom and family. Just want to move on from this. Was hoping this offseason would be distraction-free. Guess not.

 

[pats4life12]

Mixed emotions right now, not really sure how I should feel. I feel worse for his daughter who is going to have to be explained all of this. Aaron was a scum bag he ruined many families. But his daughter is just adorable. If you watch the court footage of the verdict from last week she was just happy to see him it's heartbreaking.

The entire situation is bad day. I do hope they spend the time to investigate how this happened. Was this a private pay for profit jail?
