Former New England Patriot and convicted killer Aaron Hernandez has been indicted on a new charge in connection to a 2012 double murder.
Hernandez has been charged with witness intimidation for allegedlly shooting a witness to the 2012 homicides of Daniel de Abreu and Safrio Furtado in Boston's South End.
On the morning of Feb. 13, 2013, Hernandez allegedly shot this former associate in the face and left him to die in Rivera Beach, Florida. The victim survived the shooting.
While the Suffolk District Attorney's Office did not identify the victim of the shooting, Hernandez's former friend Alexander Bradley filed a lawsuit against him in Florida, saying Hernandez had shot him in the face following an argument at a Miami strip club.
Although this shooting took place outside of Massachusetts, the Suffolk District Attorney's Office says Hernandez can be prosecuted in the Bay State because he willfully caused physical injury with intent to impede a criminal investigation. The charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in state prison.
In connection to the double murder, Hernandez was previously indicted on several charges including two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed assault with intent to murder, and single counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Hernandez is currently serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
Cuz Hernandez was trying to deflate his former associate’s head by shooting him in the face?
I think A H was making about forty million a year. Now he has his cubicle to live in...
Maybe having something to do with under-inflated balls = triple murder...yeah.
Maybe he can room with Ray Caruth.
He is a chilling portrait of a man. Some doctors think he is a true sociopath and possibly psychotic.
I knew he liked soft balls but rubbing off on a teammate is a new low.
As someone who watched Aaron Hernandez at Bristol Central, he was not like his brother (who I thought was more talented). DJ, his brother, was a QB, who kept his word about going to UConn, Aaron lied and went to UF. I think he would be a better citizen if he went to UConn.
