Post-Trial/Death

As soon as the verdict came back that Aaron Hernandez was guilty of first-degree murder, he had plans to appeal it. But it was that simple for Hernandez. Remember, he now has a double murder trial looming over his head that he still has to face. His attorney advised him to wait on the appeal for the Lloyd case because there was no point of an appeal if he were to be found guilty for double murder.

The Boston double murder wasn’t as obvious as the Lloyd murder. In this case, there was really no evidence at all. The only thing police knew was there were two dead men that had been shot at a stoplight in downtown Boston.

After identifying the two men, police discovered in their investigation that they had just come from a club down the street. Police looked at the video surveillance from that same club and noticed that Aaron Hernandez was in the same night club. Nobody expected Hernandez to be involved in any way. Remember, this was before the Odin Lloyd murder.

Two days after the double murder that took place in downtown Boston, Aaron Hernandez signed that 5-year, $40 million dollar deal with the Patriots. So if he had committed this double murder, he played a full season as a double murderer without showing any signs of trouble. How can one do that?

It was determined that due to lack of evidence and poor credibility from the person testifying against Hernandez, he was found not guilty of the double murder.

In the documentary, Hernandez’s attorney described Hernandez as happy and relieved and eager to appeal his case in the Lloyd murder.

Five days later on April 19, 2017, Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his jail cell in what was determined a suicide.
