Aaron Hernandez found guilty of first-degree murder
FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Did he convert to Islam yet and change is name to Mohammed Dirka Dirka Jihad?
Didn’t have a DA that got glare blinded. Really that era of prosecution in LA was just pathetic. Remember that’s the same team that needed two tries to get the Menendez brothers (hung jury first time) and they admitted it.
A great guy associating with Hernandez?
Who knew?
Thats what a 48 foot Rybovitch is for.
Motive was never established.
And these are only the ones he got caught for. Who knows what this thug has gotten away with.
Well bottom line is that he is going to be behind bars for life and his fiance is going to have to raise his child penniless because the lawyers are going to get all the money.
But hey, he's got his street cred...and his tats. I guess this is what that subculture calls "keeping it real."
I am very much is surprised that when he attended University of FL, the coaching staff did not kick him out for that shooting.
