BOSTON (WHDH) - After six days of deliberations, the jury in the double-murder trial of Aaron Hernandez found him not guilty for the 2012 murders of two men in Boston’s South End.

The former New England Patriots tight end was on trial for the killings of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu after one of them accidentally spilled a drink on him at the Cure Lounge.

Throughout the trial, his lawyers argued that it was Hernandez’s friend, Alexander Bradley, who shot the men in a drug deal while parked at a stop light.

Well that means he lost a couple years of his life and his career for nothing.

OOPS...he’s already in jail for life. “The 27-year-old Hernandez is already serving a life sentence in the 2013 killing of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd.”

Not exactly. But keep posting when you have not read the article and no nothing of the case.

To save you the time, He is presently serving a life sentence ... for murder.

Well thankfully he was convicted earlier for a murder and is currently serving a life sentence.

No, he’s already serving a life sentence. This was for additional murders, separate crime.

Most likely the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard could not be met here, since the case depended heavily upon testimony of his depraved criminal partner who could have been the triggerman himself.

No doubt at all that Hernandez is a murderous scumbag, but in this case it was possible to dispute whether he actually pulled the trigger.

The defense blamed his buddy and the jury bought it

After the verdict, Hernandez was quoted saying:

“Yo brah, I be right back with my team soon as I finish this life sentence.”

Who knows, Tom Brady might still be the quarterback then.
