Judge erases Aaron Hernandez’s murder conviction
So pats are now on the hook to pay his girlfriend the 2012 signing bonus and extension money.
The law in massachusetts is screwed up, but it seems to be clear. If you die while your case is pending appeal you are not guilty.

The outcome could make it impossible for the Patriots to deny further payment of the signing bonus that Hernandez earned in 2012, and likewise to reclaim all money he earned under the contract extension. Given the acquittal for the double murder that came five days before his death and the expungement of the murder conviction, Hernandez in the eyes of the law is not guilty of murder.
