"Former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez has been convicted on all counts in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, including first-degree murder."

"The murder charge comes with a mandatory sentence of life without parole."
The verdict represents a stunning fall from grace for the former tight end, who just three years ago signed a five-year contract extension worth up to $40 million with the New England Patriots.

Yay!

Now he has his next murder trial coming up.

There was a bit of worry that the judge would declare a mistrial because some news reporters "accidentally" tried to interview one of the jurors last week.

Maybe he can share a cell with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

His execution will take place in 2050 if all appeals fail, and President Chelsea Clinton doesn't pardon him.

I still think that the jurors should be issued rifles and allowed to kill the convicted murderers after the condemned get their breakfast meal.

So I was in Union South here, and of course CNN is breathless about it.

How is this National News? I could see it to be regionally interesting in New England, or Gainesville.

How come Boston gets all the best trials?

Betrayed by his own security camera.

I wonder if being a psychopath helped him compete on the field. At the time of his arrest, i recall reading that he aced a psychological test given before the draft that is supposed to give clues to the mental stability of the player. So the teams picking player who do well will either get a well-adjusted human or a psycho. Which do they prefer?

He was betrayed by his lawyer who decided to argue he was there, but someone else was there too so that is a reasonable doubt.

That was stupid. Thr reasonable doubt was whether he was there or not and a jury could hang an acquittal/pardon on that far easier than "he was there but was confused."

I'd have advised Hernandez to open a restaurant or maybe buy a car dealership.

I understand Lawrence Phillips has an empty bunk in his cell.

They could talk football.

Barry, you have it almost exactly backwards. Although he scored a perfect 10 in one test of mental quickness, he got the lowest possible 1 out of 10 in social maturity. He also scored 17 on the Wonderlic test, which is below average, but above the minimum acceptable. www.wsj.com/.../SB100014241278873244361045...

Gronk is a much better tight end.

Boston gets the good trials cause we have wicked murders.

Titus म्हणाले...

he's hot and this is Bos/Was corridor news so of course it is big!

अनामित म्हणाले...

..and the Patriots win without him.
Most cities have teams. Boston has a franchise.

Forty million dollars is no protection from being stupid.

This can't be. A black man gunned down and he wasn't killed by a cop? It destroys the narrative.

Not to worry!

In about a week or so Aaron Hernandez will suddenly become a "white hispanic", so "narrative-power re-energize"!!

Fall from grace? He never had any grace to fall from. Well, maybe at birth, but he had fallen long before this conviction.

The interesting question is how many other people did he kill? I realize "none" is a possible answer, but there's some nasty rumors out there.
