He thinks my man went out like D Barksdale?

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

I feel bad for his daughter, knowing that she has no father in her life

This right here. Not that he would be much of a father in jail, but she is going to go through life as the daughter of a murderer and not really have a chance to get answers to questions she may have.

He is scum, but she is innocent.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

The coward reference is pretty close to accurate. The timing seems odd but who knows. He was a millionaire and used to living life a certain way. Perhaps going from that lifestyle to life in prison without parole was just too much for him to accept. Perhaps he thought suicide was his best option.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

His lawyer doesn't believe it was a suicide. He is going to launch an investigation into the death. Same goes for his agent.

I'll tell you what... the main shock I have over the result of this is the timing of it all. None of it makes sense. The man was literally acquitted five days ago of a double-murder case. He was already serving this other life sentence without parole. Why wait till this "better" outcome for himself? Why wait five days? No suicide note either, which in an instance like this you'd almost hope for/expect. The tipping point wasn't ever clear.

That being said, I don't want to pretend to know what prisons really look like or what this situation was (attempting to jam up the doors), but it seems pretty convincing that it was a suicide. If it was a frame job, then it's probably a damn good one. I don't want to speculate until/unless a serious investigation is underway on the matter.

Regardless of all this (and speaking of timing), while I feel very bad for the family (especially his daughter) after five days ago having that slight moment of respite, I also feel bad for the upcoming draft class who in one week will have their moment in the sun, and would like to get as much exposure and hype right now as possible. Instead, we'll be talking about this up until that time comes (and by "we" I mean the media). I'm sure the NFL doesn't want anything to do with the Hernandez story, but you know that unless Mel Kiper Jr. is front and center that Hernandez will take the limelight for now.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

How does it make him a scumbag though? He's not the one out there killing people. He's just making a living like the rest of us. Unfortunately in his case it requires defending criminals and potentially letting guilty people off the hook, but someone has to do it lol. People have rights to attorneys to defend them even if they're guilty as charged... and really it's the prosecutors job to build a case to get a conviction. Not his fault if their case isn't good enough.

People have rights to attorneys and public defenders that are required to represent people being charged with murder really are just doing their job. I expect them to do the best they can.

Taking a case and choosing to make a fortune helping killers walk the streets is disgusting.

Even worse, he's trying to make more money by investigating the suicide where he will find some poor protocols that were followed, sue the state and make him and the Hernandez a payday out of it all. Scum bag is too nice of a term for guys like this.

Oh he definitely has his sights on making money off of Hernandez's death. If they ever do a 30 for 30 or any other documentary on him this POS will be all over it.

Yea the timing is very odd. That's the main reason why I can believe it may be a staged murder. He just got acquitted in the double murder last week. And was about appeal the conviction for the murder he was convicted of a year or so ago. And there was a chance (albeit a small one) he could get acquitted from that one. And from all I have read from his lawyer and agent is that he was in a good place mentally.

To top it off, the night before / morning of his former team visiting the White House. Coincidence, bad timing?

As all have mentioned the timing is so damn odd.

I was thinking about this, and it made me wonder if he just wanted to get resolution from this trial. If he commits suicide before it, I'm guessing everyone will take it as assurance that he was guilty. Maybe he just wanted to get through the trial and hope for acquittal so he had some kind of closure for it?

I agree the timing is strange. You'd think he'd be somewhat optimistic, especially after his lawyer said they were going to appeal the Lloyd verdict.

That Aaron Hernandez reddit thread is full of very interesting speculation.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Or the timing makes perfect sense. He was already in the appeals process for his conviction. Now that he's dead, his conviction is vacated because the appeals process was never finished. Which now means that his estate has a lot of protection against civil suits like those that the families of the victims could bring for wrongful death.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

I mean, dude was involved in gangs and got "killed" in prison. This isn't really that strange/odd.

It makes sense that whatever money he has left for his wife and daughter is now protected from a civil suit for wrongful death.

He almost certainly had the info about his conviction being vacated if he died and was facing his daughter's future being drained by lawyers in his appeal. He had just gotten off for a double murder, then got to sit alone and think about how he had killed a guy because he was all paranoid over getting caught for something he got away with anyway. Really high probability the dude just hanged himself.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

What if this happened like a few months earlier? Would it have made a difference as far as his conviction being vacated?
