00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.359
Callarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Thursday, January first,
2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.839
twenty twenty six. Happy New Year, Welcome to the final
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.399
stretch of our twelve Crimes of Christmas series, and today
4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.079
the NFL star who had everything and threw it all away.
5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.000
June seventeenth, twenty thirteen, North Attleborough, Massachusetts, an industrial park
6
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.479
early morning, a jogger finds a body riddled with gunshots
7
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.960
five wounds. The victim is faced down less than a
8
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.039
mile from a one point three million dollar mansion owned
9
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.960
by New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. The victim
10
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.039
Odin Lloyd, twenty seven years old, semi pro football player
11
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.039
for the Boston Bandits, dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
12
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.880
Lloyd's final text to his sister, sent hours before his death,
13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.280
did you see who who I am with? His sister responded.
14
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.120
Lloyd replied, NFL. Then one more message, just so you know,
15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.079
just so you know, Like he knew something bad was coming,
16
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.680
like he wanted someone to know who he was with
17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.879
when the worst happened. Nine days later, Aaron Hernandez was
18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.239
arrested at his home, charged with first degree murder. Ninety
19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.560
minutes after his arrest, the New England Patriots released him.
20
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.680
The forty million dollar contract signed just eleven months earlier,
21
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.719
was worthless, but Odin Lloyd wasn't Hernandez's only alleged victim.
22
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.159
Prosecutors would later charge him with a twenty twelve double
23
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.319
murder two men shot dead over a spilled drink at
24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.439
a Boston nightclub. Six weeks after those killings, Hernandez signed
25
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.439
his massive contract and played another full season in the NFL.
26
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.079
April twenty seventeen, Hernandez was acquitted of the double murder.
27
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.599
Five days later, he hanged himself in his prison cell
28
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.159
with a bed sheet. He was twenty seven years old.
29
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.680
His brain showed stage three chronic traumatic encephalopathy, one of
30
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.400
the worst cases of CTE ever found in someone his age.
31
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.599
I'm reed, Carter. This is celebrity trials today, Aaron Hernandez,
32
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.840
from Super Bowl to suicide, from NFL star to convicted murderer.
33
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.400
Someone has to say their names. Aaron Joseph Hernandez was
34
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.599
born November sixth, nineteen eighty nine, in Bristol, Connecticut. His father, Dennis,
35
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.680
was of Puerto Rican descent. His mother, Terry, was Italian American.
36
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.080
By all accounts, Dennis Hernandez was a complicated man, former
37
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.800
high school football star, pushed his sons hard in athletics,
38
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.240
also allegedly abusive. Aaron's mother threw Dennis out of the
39
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.439
house multiple times, but always let him back. But Dennis
40
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.400
kept Aarin focused, kept him out of trouble, kept him
41
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.000
on the football field, where his talent was undeniable. Aaron
42
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.080
was a star at Bristol Central High School, all styed
43
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.479
in football, also played basketball, had college scouts watching him
44
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.199
by sophomore year. Then in January two thousand and six,
45
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.599
Dennis Hernandez died unexpectedly during routine hernia surgery. He was
46
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:26.280
forty nine, Aaron was sixteen. That death changed everything. Without
47
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.800
his father's discipline, Aaron started running with a rougher crowd,
48
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.240
started making decisions that would eventually destroy his life. But
49
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.800
first football. Aaron Hernandez enrolled at the University of Florida
50
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.000
in two thousand and seven. Played tight end under legendary
51
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.479
coach Urban Meyer, teammate of quarterback Tim Tebow. The Gators
52
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.199
were a powerhouse, won the BCS national championship in two
53
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.080
thousand and eight. Hernandez was electric, fast, physical, could catch
54
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.439
anything thrown near him. In two thousand and nine, his
55
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.560
junior year, he won on the John Mackey Award as
56
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.759
the nation's best tight end. Projected first round NFL draft pick,
57
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.199
but there were red flags failed multiple drug tests for marijuana,
58
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.520
implicated but never charged in a two thousand and seven
59
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.160
bar shooting in Gainesville. Questions about his associates, his judgment,
60
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.920
his temper. Teams noticed. When the twy ten NFL draft
61
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.600
came around, Hernandez fell first round nothing, second round nothing,
62
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.079
third round nothing. The New England Patriots grabbed him in
63
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.079
the fourth round, pick number one hundred thirteen, a steal
64
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.759
for a player with his talent, a risk for a
65
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.360
player with his baggage. Head coach Bill Belichick was famous
66
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.120
for getting the most out of troubled players he thought
67
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.759
he could control. Hernandez thought the Patriots way would straighten
68
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.800
him out for a while. It seemed to work. Twenty ten,
69
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.399
Hernandez's rookie season forty five catches five hundred sixty three
70
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:03.920
yards six touchdowns, impressive for a fourth rounder. Twenty eleven,
71
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.319
even better, seventy nine catches nine hundred ten yards, seven touchdowns.
72
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.600
Pro Bowl selection Hernandez and fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski
73
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.399
formed the most dangerous receiving duo in football. Gronk and
74
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:23.560
Hernandez the two headed monster that terrorized NFL defenses. February fifth,
75
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.120
twenty twelve Super Bowl forty six Patriots versus New York Giants,
76
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.800
Hernandez caught eight passes for sixty seven yards. The Patriots
77
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.920
lost twenty one to seventeen, but Hernandez had played on
78
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.360
the biggest stage in sports. He was twenty two years old,
79
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.160
superstar tight end, Super Bowl veteran, endorsement deals, celebrity girlfriend,
80
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.240
living the dream. August twenty twelve, the Patriots signed Hernandez
81
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.519
to a five year contract extension worth forty million dollars
82
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.279
twelve point five million dollars guaranteed. He was set for life.
83
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.040
Except six weeks before he signed that contract, Aaron Hernandez
84
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.519
allegedly murdered two men over a spilled drink, and eleven
85
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.920
months after he signed it, he allegedly murdered Odin Lloyd.
86
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:29.079
July sixteenth, twenty twelve, Boston Cure Lounge nightclub in the
87
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.560
Theater District around one thirty am. Aaron Hernandez was there
88
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.879
with his friend Alexander Bradley. They had VIP access were
89
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.560
only inside for about ten minutes. Also at the club
90
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:47.480
Daniel Deebro twenty nine, and Saphiro Fertado, twenty eight, immigrants
91
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.319
from Cape Verde, close friends who'd attended high school and
92
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.399
served in the military together before coming to America, working
93
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.120
class guys out for a night of dancing. According to prosecutors,
94
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.720
dea Bro accidentally bumped into Hernandez on the dance floor,
95
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.680
spilled his drink, then smiled at him. That was it.
96
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.879
A spilled drink and a smile. Hernandez took it as disrespect.
97
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.600
Surveillance video showed Bradley trying to calm down and agitated
98
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.639
Hernandez as they left the club, but Hernandez wasn't calming down.
99
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.120
He was hunting. For two hours, Hernandez and Bradley drove
100
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.800
around the theater district looking for dea Bro, looking for revenge.
101
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.399
Around two thirty am, they found him. Dia Bro was
102
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.800
driving a BMW with Furtado in the passenger seat and
103
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.560
three other friends in the back. They stopped at a
104
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.920
red light at the intersection of Shaalmud Avenue and Harald Street. Bradley,
105
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.720
driving a silver Toyota four Runner pulled up alongside the BMW,
106
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.720
rolled down his window. According to Bradley's testimony, Hernandez leaned
107
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.920
across him called out yo DEA bro looked over. Hernandez
108
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.959
called again, what's up now? N word? Then Hernandez fire
109
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.199
five shots into the BMW. Daniel Debreu was hit in
110
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.639
the chest died at the scene. Saphiro Fortado was hit
111
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.639
in the head died at the hospital. A third man,
112
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.160
Aquilino Frere, was shot in the arm but survived. Bradley
113
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.879
drove away. Hernandez wiped down the gun, threw it and
114
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.600
the shell casings out the window, had his cousin, Tanya Singleton,
115
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.120
pick up the fore Runner and hide it in her garage.
116
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.079
Two men dead over a spilled drink and aaron Hernandez
117
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.440
went home like nothing happened. Six weeks later, he signed
118
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.960
his forty million dollar contract. Played the entire twenty twelve season,
119
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.960
caught fifty one passes, scored five touchdowns. Nobody knew but
120
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.960
Alexander Bradley knew, and in February twenty thirteen, Bradley made
121
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.799
a remark about the double murder that Hernandez didn't like,
122
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.600
so Hernandez allegedly shot Bradley in the face. They were
123
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.840
leaving a strip club in Miami. Hernandez pulled a gun,
124
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.240
shot Bradley in the forehead, dumped him in an industrial
125
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.360
park off in ninety five near Riviera Beach, left him
126
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.200
for dead. Bradley survived, lost his right eye has a
127
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.320
massive scar across his face to this day. He didn't
128
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.879
go to police. Initially he was a drug dealer with
129
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.360
his own legal problems, but when Hernandez was arrested for
130
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.799
odin Lloyd's murder four months later, Bradley started talking became
131
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.679
the prosecution's star witness in the double murder trial. The
132
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.440
gun used in the daa Bro and Fertado killings was
133
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:32.519
never found, but prosecutors pointed to Hernandez's tattoos as confessions.
134
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.799
One tattoo showed a revolver with exactly five bullets, the
135
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.600
same number fired into the BMW. Another showed a gun
136
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.240
from a head on view, the angle Bradley would have
137
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.360
seen before Hernandez shot him in the face. Next to
138
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:51.559
both tattoos the words God forgives. That is not random,
139
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.519
that is not art, that is evidence. Prosecutor Patrick Hagen
140
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.399
told the jury that is a confession, but the jury disagreed.
141
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.159
April fourteenth, twenty seventeen, Aaron Hernandez was acquitted of the
142
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.840
double murder, found guilty only of illegal gun possession, an
143
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.519
additional four to five years on top of his existing
144
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.960
life sentence. The families of Daniel dea bro and Saphiro
145
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.200
Fortado sobbed in the courtroom. Two working class immigrants shot
146
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.279
dead for bumping into a celebrity at a nightclub, and
147
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.360
their killer walked on those charges. Daniel dea Brou was
148
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.279
twenty nine years old, Saphiro Fortado was twenty eight. They
149
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.320
came to America for a better life, found death at
150
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:39.080
a stoplight. Rest in peace. We'll be right back with
151
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.480
the murder of Odin Lloyd, the crime that finally brought
152
00:10:42.519 --> 00:11:02.679
Aaron Hernandez down. Odin Lloyd was born November fourteenth, nineteen
153
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.440
eighty five, in Saint croix Us, Virgin Islands. Moved to
154
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.679
the Dorchester section of Boston with his mother, Ursula. Ward
155
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.840
played football at John Do o'bryant's School of Mathematics and Science.
156
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.840
Enrolled at Delaware State University to play college ball, but
157
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.000
left within days. By twenty thirteen. Lloyd was twenty seven
158
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.879
years old. Played linebacker for the Boston Bandits, a semi
159
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.679
pro team in the New England Football League. Worked a
160
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.679
regular job, dreamed of bigger things. He met Aaron Hernandez
161
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:38.000
through a family connection. Lloyd was dating SHANEA. Jenkins. Her
162
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:43.360
older sister. Scheyanna Jenkins was Aaron Hernandez's fiance. The two
163
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:47.919
couples spent time together. Lloyd and Hernandez became friends, or
164
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.480
so Lloyd thought. Hernandez hooked Lloyd up with perks, tickets
165
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.279
to Patriots games, access to the celebrity world. Lloyd was
166
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.440
starstruck hanging out with an NFL's are, living a life
167
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:06.279
he'd only dreamed about. But on June fourteenth, twenty thirteen,
168
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.840
something went wrong. Lloyd and Hernandez went together to Rumor
169
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:15.360
nightclub in Boston. A witness later claimed Hernandez appeared upset
170
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.200
at Lloyd in the club and stormed out. Prosecutors suggested
171
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.039
Hernandez was angry because Lloyd was talking to people associated
172
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.639
with the victims from the twenty twelve double murder. Maybe
173
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.480
Lloyd knew too much, maybe he said something to the
174
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:34.440
wrong people. Maybe Hernandez was just paranoid, whatever the reason.
175
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:40.200
Three days later, Odin Lloyd was dead June sixteenth, two
176
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:45.120
thy thirteen. The night before the murder, Hernandez texted two
177
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.320
friends from Bristol, Connecticut, you can't trust anyone anymore. Then
178
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.000
he invited them to come to Massachusetts. Around two thirty
179
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:59.480
am on June seventeenth, Hernandez, Carlos Ortiz, and Ernest Wallace
180
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.080
picked up Odin Lloyd in a rented silver Nissan Altema.
181
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.519
Lloyd got in the car willingly thought he was hanging
182
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.080
out with his famous friend, but Lloyd sensed something was wrong.
183
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.399
He texted his sister Shania, did you see who I
184
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:20.080
am with? She responded, he replied nfl then ominously, just
185
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.960
so you know, those were Odin Lloyd's last words to
186
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.639
his family, Just so you know, like he wanted someone
187
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.840
to know where he was, who he was with, in
188
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.080
case something happened. Hernandez drove Lloyd to an industrial park
189
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.600
less than a mile from his own mansion, secluded dark,
190
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.039
nobody around. What happened next was captured partially on surveillance
191
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.759
video from Hernandez's home security system and reconstructed through witness testimony.
192
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:53.320
Lloyd was shot five times back and side execution style.
193
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.840
Left face down in a gravel pit, Hernandez and the
194
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:01.559
others drove back to his house. Valence footage showed Hernandez
195
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.399
holding something consistent with a glock pistol as he entered.
196
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.960
The gun was never found. Hernandez allegedly destroyed it, but
197
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.120
Hernandez made mistakes, lots of them. He'd rented the Nissan
198
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.039
Altima in his own name. Surveillance cameras tracked his movements.
199
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.240
All night shell casings found at the murder scene matched
200
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.919
ammunition found in the Altema. Lloyd's phone records showed he
201
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.720
was with Hernandez when he died, and Hernandez destroyed evidence,
202
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.600
sloppily smashed his own cell phone, tried to destroy his
203
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.120
home security system, but the footage was already backed up.
204
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.200
Thought he'd gotten away with it. On the morning of
205
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:43.879
June seventeenth, a jogger found Lloyd's body. Police immediately started investigating,
206
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:49.480
and Hernandez's name came up fast. June eighteenth, police searched
207
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:54.519
Hernandez's home. June twenty sixth, Aaron Hernandez was arrested at
208
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.159
his front door, charged with first degree murder. Ninety minutes later,
209
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.240
the New England Patrints released him. His forty million dollar
210
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.200
contract was voided. His NFL career was over all for
211
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.320
Odin Lloyd, a semi pro football player, a man whose
212
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.759
only crime was knowing Aaron Hernandez Ursula Ward. Odin's mother
213
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.600
asked one question, why why did Aaron Hernandez kill her son?
214
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:25.320
Prosecutors never established a clear motive, Something about trust, something
215
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.519
about the nightclub, something Hernandez was afraid Lloyd might tell someone.
216
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.840
We'll never know for sure, because Aaron Hernandez never explained,
217
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:39.279
never admitted, never apologized. Odin Lloyd was twenty seven years old,
218
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:44.879
semi pro linebacker, devoted son, loving boyfriend. Should be playing
219
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.279
football today, should be building a life with SHANEA. Jenkins.
220
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.759
Rest in peace, Odin. Someone has to say your name.
221
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:02.600
January twenty ninth, twenty fifteen, Fall River, Massachusetts, Bristol County
222
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:08.759
Superior Court, the trial of Aaron Hernandez began. Prosecutor William
223
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:13.200
McCauley laid out the case. The text messages, the surveillance footage,
224
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.440
the shell casings, the rental car, the destroyed evidence, everything
225
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.600
pointing to Hernandez as the killer. The defense tried to blame.
226
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.639
Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, the two men in the
227
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.919
car with Hernandez that night, said there was no direct
228
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:31.159
evidence Hernandez pulled the trigger, no murder weapon, no eye witness,
229
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:38.000
but the circumstantial evidence was overwhelming. March twenty seventh, twenty fifteen,
230
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:44.960
Shyanna Jenkins, Hernandez's fiance, testified under immunity. She admitted Hernandez
231
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.480
told her to dispose of a box from their basement.
232
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.000
She drove it to a dumpster and threw it away
233
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:55.200
without looking inside. Prosecutors believed that box contained the murder weapon.
234
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.639
Seyanna Jenkins, the mother of Hernandez's daughter, disposing of evidence
235
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:07.039
for a murderer. That's love, I guess. April fifteen, twenty fifteen,
236
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.799
after seven days of deliberation, the jury returned its verdict
237
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.480
guilty first degree murder, all weapons charges. Aaron Hernandez showed
238
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.839
no emotion as the verdict was read. His mother sobbed odin.
239
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.759
Lloyd's family wept with relief. The sentence was automatic under
240
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.160
Massachusetts law, life in prison without the possibility of parole.
241
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.519
Hernandez was transported to the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Cedar Junction,
242
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.880
a maximum security prison located just one point five miles
