Aaron Hernandez hanged himself behind bars

I hear you, and that's one side of the argument.


The other side would be there are a lot of people thinking he's 100% guilty of that double murder. I followed that trial very closely, and to be honest with you, considering all the evidence, I for one thought he was guilty. I was surprised with the not guilty verdict. There, I said it. I thought he should have been convicted based on all the evidence.


So imagine how many people in that prison were ticked off by this guy who got away with murder(s) because he could afford a hot shot lawyer, while everyone else had to serve life. And imagine this lawyer is now on his way to a successful appeal, and imagine how pissed off these people could be. And imagine 5-6 people feeling that way and wanting to do something about it. Maybe 1-2 of those people were prison guards who were willing to turn a blind eye. Who knows?

It would be impossible to kill a man that size with your bare hands and not leave physical evidence, on his person or in the room, especially a small room like a cell. He's a high profile prisoner in custody, authorities will immediately prepare for a wrongful death law suit, they will bring in highly experienced professional investigators to investigate the scene.

To them or the coroner signs of foul play will be obvious, there will be obvious signs of a struggle and marks on the body inconsistent with suicide, if he has been strangled, by someone, likely 3 or four people there will be bruises in places there shouldn't be.

True. The coroner's report will be very interesting.
 
Dude killed himself so no one could touch his money so that his daughter would get it, probably the only selfless act he committed.
 
Yeah, but what was preventing it going to her even if he lived?

Apparently it's the NFL pension that he's after. Now that he's dead his convictions are apparently vacated meaning he is no longer a convicted felon in the eye of the law and his family is now entitled to the pensions.


That's the rumour going around ATM, but all this should become clearer in the coming days. Also what's not cleared is do the Patriots still have to pay him.

Most investment/insurance vehicles like this have proscriptions in the case of suicide though. I know a pension I am part of has this as a caveat. It pays out nothing in the event of suicide.

Yeah I don't know the specifics of an NFL pension plant so I wouldn't know. Hopefully we'll get more details in the coming days or weeks. But this rumour came about because of the Boston local talk show called Toucher & Rich and apparently they had this law professor on there to try and explain what could be the legal repercussion of what he did.

somehow though, with the issues of CTE among former NFL players, I would think their policies might be a little different regarding suicide - not that this would necessarily play a role in this situation, but given the higher rate of suicide among former players whose autopsies show signs of CTE - it just makes me think the NFL's policies regarding pension payouts might be more lenient in the case of suicide than a typical corporate plan


at any rate, this is all just speculation

and it's a tragedy when a person can't escape their demons, ever more when they have so much talent
