I'm amazed this story doesn't get more press, there's no doubt in my mind he'd have kept killing people if he got away. He was a ticking time bomb. A real deal psychopath that's portrayed in all types of movie roles and certainly in rap culture.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking the judge in the case to admit transcripts of the phone calls as evidence in Aaron's double murder trial.

Essentially, prosecutors believe the calls show Hernandez uses the word "try" as a way to describe being disrespected ... and talks to Pouncey about how he responds when someone "tries" him.

Officials say Hernandez felt the victims in the homicide case were "trying" him before he shot them to death later that night.

The first phone call with Pouncey went down on April 3, 2015:

"During this call, the defendant talks about how he has changed and now he would not want to even go in a club if there were 'black people there' because if they (referring to he and the Pounceys) go in 'imagine if I go in the club with y’all ****** and ****** try you, you already know what time it is, feel me?'"


"This statement is relevant as an example of the defendant’s use of the word 'try,' referring to being disrespected. Bradley will testify (and likely be subject to vigorous cross-examination) that the defendant repeatedly told him that he felt that people -- and, ultimately the homicide victims in this case -- were 'trying' him."

The second Pouncey phone call took place on April 28, 2015:

"During this call, [Hernandez] stated words to the effect of, 'I’m going to get another tattoo that looks like a stop sign that will say, ‘Beware, no hesitation.’ [Hernandez] said, 'You feel me? Like try me and there’s no hesitation.'"

It seems like a reach to connect "try" with "disrespected". as I understand it "try" in the context used is much more than disrespected, more like threatened or even attempt harm..

Crazy quotes tho. Probably the best rationale I've ever heard for getting a tat.. I mean, he wasn't lying.
 
So, there's nothing to be learned from this story?

I'd argue the opposite. This is a legendary fall from grace, it pretty much dwarfs Mike Tyson as far as I'm concerned..... He pretty much surpassed OJ too... This is tragic like Javaris Crittenton..

A cautionary tale with "cultural implications", behavioral elements, specifically certain mindsets that spiral way out of control.

There's also certainly a drug element involved, it's said he was a PCP user.

Damn, that's really surprising.


I actually watched the opening and closing arguments, and even though I thought the prosecutors were light on forensic evidence I thought there was still enough there to convict. I actually gave the prosecutors a 70% chance of conviction. Some of the things that were convincing to me were:


- Club's camera placed both Hernandez and Bradley there that night

- Both guys left the parking garage in Hernandez's car

- Streets video cameras placed both Hernandez and Bradley leading up to the actual murder scene

- Inside the car that got shot, the people that didn't die identified 'a thin-ish white male in light hat with colours' as the shooter (i.e., not 'round face black male' which is more what Bradley looks like).

- Hernandez' car went missing, later found at one of his relatives house and been collecting dust there for a year

- Lack of forensic: How could there be any in a drive by shooting?


Put all together I think there is enough there to convict. I sorta think maybe the prosecutors muddied the water themselves by giving Bradley immunity and letting him take the stand. It gave the prosecutors something to 'latched onto' and attacked in the closing argument. The defense's strongest argument to me was the lack of motive. Would you kill someone over spilled drinks? The defense asserted that it was Bradley's drug deal gone wrong in the club that led to the killing. Also the shooting came from the driver's side, Hernandez would have had to have gone over the driver to shoot out the window (no dispute Bradley was the driver). That whole thing about Hernandez shooting Bradley in the face - I thought that whole thing was trash - there was absolutely no evidence of that. The prosecutors made a mistake bringing all that in, to me it was all just a waste of time.


Do I think Baez do anything special in this trial? Not really. I think he threw up enough doubts there but most of the doubts were on Bradley which to me is a given anyway. Baez actually came across to me as this high profile lawyer, someone only a person like Hernandez could afford, and would say anything to get his client off. But apparently the jury didn't hold that against him.


Would be interested to hear someone else's take on the trial & what you think.
