Boston Globe: A jury on Friday cleared Aaron Hernandez of committing a double murder in 2012, handing the former New England Patriots star his first significant legal victory since his shocking arrest for a third slaying in 2013.
But by day’s end, Hernandez, whose career highlights included a Super Bowl touchdown and a $40 million contract, was returned to Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, where he is serving a life sentence without a chance of parole for his earlier conviction for fatally shooting Odin L. Lloyd in June 2013.
His latest trial lasted a month, and the jury deliberated for six days. He nodded and choked back tears when the verdict came down Friday afternoon — not guilty on every charge except one, a gun-related crime. read more
At least he’ll still rot behind bars. What a meaningless legal victory.
@Jerry M – Yes. Meaningless for 99.999% of us, but a deep disappointment for the relatives of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, the two victims.
Not that I care more than a sliver of a smidgen.
OT/ Man the shits hitting the fan in Bezerkly again.
