Kind of odd timing after being acquitted of his double murder charge a few days ago. Of course he was still going to spend the rest of his life in jail after his other conviction despite Jose Baez's claim that he was going to appeal that conviction and get him out of jail. What a strange and cautionary tale Aaron Hernandez is. I read up on him and apparently the death of his father in his teen years altered his life forever. That said, I feel zero sympathy for him. I hope his victims' families can take solace in the fact that he's no longer here and can't hurt anyybody else. Living the thug life doesn't mesh well with being an NFL star.
