Aaron Hernandez Convicted of Murder; Sentenced to the New York Jets
Okay, so it's not that bad-- sentenced to life in prison.
Former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez has been convicted on all counts in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, including first-degree murder. He has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of 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....
Hernandez also faces two murder charges for a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston's South End. That trial does not yet have a starting date.
I never even heard of those charges.
