Those Patriots and their loopholes again. Robert Kraft can now say they've never had a murderer on their team.*

If he did kill himself it means his family gets to keep his money. In Mass, when the conviction gets overturned due to death the victims families can't sue his estate. So maybe he did it for his kids.

Why is this person still a celeb? He's been gone from the game for 5 years and never was that good anyway (0 pro bowls in his 3 seasons)


So he killed some people, great. Not sure why the hype is here

So Hernandez ended up killing 4 people (that we know of)

I wonder if him and Belcher are both sitting next to each other on the bench now?

Bill "Hannibal" Belichick was whispering to him from the next cell until he offed himself like Multiple Miggs.

We will never know for sure.

He killed himself because he knew he was spending life in prison. It's not difficult to fathom. The high of winning the acquittal.....followed by the realization that it was meaningless....going back....forever.

He can't be sued civilly?

Apparently not from what I've read. If the conviction is overturned he died an innocent man in the eyes of the law. Therefore there would be no legal grounds for a civil suit.

So according to Massachusetts law, that guy who got pressed to death in the Salem witch trials is officially innocent, right? Just confirming.

Assuming he had an appeal pending, yes.

He was a thug at Florida too. They were just able to keep it under wraps.

He is still guilty of killing Odin Lloyd, he wasn't acquitted of that. He isnt an innocent man.

The whole thing is tragedy, especially for the families of the victims; FAR moreso than for Aaron Hernandez and his family, but there I was just speaking about things from teh point of view of his family.

There is a 4 year old girl who is completely blameless whose father just committed suicide and whose mother is probably completely beside herself.

Hernandez left nothing but devastation in his wake, and I care nothing for him or his death.

We will never know for sure.

In a cell, where he was alone, where he attempted to barricade the door and with video cameras pointing at the hallways outside?

I'm sure it will be investigated, adn I'm sure that he just killed himself because he realized that even after winning the double murder trial, he was in prison for the rest of his life with no possibility of parole.
