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 Bostons 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 Hernandezs friend, Alexander Bradley, who shot the men in a drug deal while parked at a stop light.

His brother is sick of Aaron. His brother is the new coach of Ledyard High. Good team in Connecticut.
Aaron, you should’ve gone to UConn like your brother. Who knows maybe you would be as honorable as Dan Orlovsky is, not an idiotic Gator...
“Cause he didn’t do it, or ‘cause they couldn’t PROVE he did it?
Yeah, UConn is a real football powerhouse.
He is a sociopath who became a POS while being raised in Connecticut.
I am guessing the latter. Another option might be the jury didn't think it was first degree murder but would have convicted for a lesser charge such as manslaughter or second degree murder..
That’s why I’d like to see three verdicts: Innocent, not guilty or guilty. Not guilty means we couldn’t prove it, innocent means it was proven he didn’t do it.
My understanding is that the evidence was unclear as to which scumbag did which thing beyond a reasonable doubt, and Hernandez’ companions were semi-coherent and not particularly credible.
The issue was likely who did what.
Life WITHOUT the possibility of parole. So he is serving real life, not the liberal version of life. I wonder if he will break the record for longest incarceration of 68 years. I think he could if he reaches his early 90s in age.
