Aaron Hernandez convicted of first-degree murder


Jurors in the trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez have found him guilty of first degree murder, which carries a penalty of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Hernandez was on trial for the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in a Massachusetts industrial park in June 2013.

Prosecutors took months to present more than 130 witnesses to build their case. The defense wrapped its witnesses in less than a day.

Prosecutors say Lloyd was seen June 17, 2013, around 2:30 a.m. with Hernandez and Hernandez's friends, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, in a rented silver Nissan Altima. Later that day, a jogger found his body riddled with gunshots.

Wallace and Ortiz, who were also charged with murder, have pleaded not guilty, and will be tried separately.

I wonder what other crimes Hernandez has been able to cover up in his past, because of his athletic abilities ?

Oh darn, and to think I have all his albums.

they'll just go up in value now that he is a lifer !!

Guess I'm really out of it. I had no idea who he was or anything about the crime till this thread.

I believe he has 2 more murder charges to face as well. He won't be seeing the outside again.

Wow, he must be a really bad guy.

"they" say he lived a double life.
One day he was Mr. Pro athlete and the next he was Mr. Thug on the street.
