WORCESTER, Mass. —
The Worcester County district attorney’s office on Friday released a new round of documents from the investigation of Aaron Hernandez's suicide in response to public records requests filed by 5 Investigates.
The documents include the State Police death report from Hernandez’s suicide, his “classification report” kept by prison officials and interviews with more than a dozen correction officers who assisted in treating or transporting Hernandez on April 19.
The classification report lists Hernandez as a “verified member” of the Bloods street gang.
The report also documents a number of nicknames for Hernandez, including Boom, AA, Big Nose, Chico, A Money and Can’t Get Right.
The report also says he was enrolled in the 12-step program “AA,” presumably Alcoholics Anonymous.
The records also detail disciplinary incidents at the Bristol County House of Corrections, where Hernandez was held after his arrest for the murder of Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez was disciplined in November 2013 for “threatening to kill a corrections officer and his family,” according to the report.
Hernandez provided a urine sample in August 2013 that tested positive for the use of Neurontin, a prescription drug used to treat neuropathy and epilepsy. The drug is also known to be sold on the streets.
He was also disciplined for aggravated assault and refusing orders.
The interviews with officers at Sousa Baranwoski, where Hernandez was found hanged in his cell, detail the struggle to free him from the bed sheet used in the suicide. Officers reported having a hard time cutting Hernandez down from his homemade noose because of the shampoo that he dumped on the floor.
The documents report that it took “2 sets of shears by 2 officers” to free Hernandez so that they could began CPR.
I was trying to break new legal ground, like any Circuit Court Judge.
Try him in absentia (like the Soviets or ChiComs did).
For a new crime. Establish Gang membership, threats to kill an officer, ... something with enough teeth so the Patriots would not have to pay him.
Now my legal training comes from Perry Mason and Bull, so you know you can count on it.
He probably would have been one to join the White House boycott, too.
The Pats may owe his estate a pile of money in any case. I believe they withheld $2.5M that was supposed to be paid as a deferred portion of his signing bonus, and I’ve seen a number of lawyers suggest that they were on very shaky legal ground there.
