The late NFL star and convicted killer Aaron Hernandez was granted an abatement on his conviction for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. What does that mean? It means the former New England Patriots star, who took his own life last month in prison, is now considered not guilty in the eyes of the law. Bristol County (Mass.) Judge Susan Garsh, who presided over the original trial, ruled in favor of the star’s estate, citing a bizarre law. Massachusetts law states that if a defendant dies while a conviction is still in the process of appeal, then the previous verdict is vacated. Hernandez committed suicide late last month while serving a sentence of life without parole for the murder of Lloyd. He was just 27. “Abatement is the law in this Commonwealth and this court is required to follow that precedent,” Garsh said. “The Court has no other choice.” The state is expected to appeal the controversial decision, which will most likely wind up in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. In other words, the legal battle is just beginning. Hernandez’s attorney, John Thompson, argued that neither his client’s cause of death nor any assumed motives should apply to the law. He also noted there was no precedent in any other ruling on the issue that called for abatement not to be granted in a similar situation. “[The original Lloyd ruling] is not a final conviction,” Thompson said, even though a jury convicted Hernandez of murder. “And that’s what matters.” Prosecutor Patrick Bomberg argued otherwise. Bomberg argued that Hernandez chose to die, thus making a conscious decision to forfeit his appeal as a means of being cleared. This is supported by the suicide note to Shayanna Jenkins that basically says as much, and was never, he says, the intent of the law. According to a state police report, Hernandez even mentioned to an unnamed fellow inmate that he was aware of the abatement law. In one of his suicide notes, he allegedly wrote “YOURE RICH” to Jenkins (above), his fiancee and the father of his four-year-old daughter. “The defendant should not be able to accomplish in death what he could not accomplish in life,” Bomberg said of Hernandez’s efforts. At stake is not just Hernandez’s criminal record, which is a moot point now, but his potential monetary payouts from the NFL franchise. The Patriots may no longer be able to withhold money owed on his contract due to a conviction for murder, as they have been doing. “We are arguing there is a motive to [commit suicide],” Bomberg said, noting the financial benefits; Garsh summarily dismissed that point. “This court cannot know why Hernandez took his life,” Garsh said, citing other possible motives, including the athlete’s increased spirituality. She also noted that other inmates heard via a Boston radio show that Hernandez might be gay or bisexual and trying to hide that. Also complicating matters is that if the Hernandez estate does get paid, the family of Odin Lloyd still has a wrongful death civil suit pending. They, in turn, may be able to access any or all money the Hernandez estate gets, if it comes to that (the Patriots are expected to fight this). The families of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, whom Hernandez was acquitted of murdering in 2012, may also be suing his estate. A civil suit requires a lower standard of proof than a conviction in criminal court (see O.J. Simpson’s $33 million judgment, for example). Hernandez estate is currently valued at $0.00. Lloyd’s mother and sister led a large group at the hearing of supporters for Lloyd, a former semi-pro football player and Boston landscaper. That group included Shaneah Jenkins, Lloyd’s former girlfriend and the sister of Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, who was not present. The Lloyd supporters wept at the ruling. After a lengthy trial, a Bristol County jury ruled in 2015 that Hernandez shot Lloyd six times in an industrial park less than a mile from his home. The Bristol, Conn., native won a national title at the University of Florida and played three seasons with the Patriots, appearing in one Super Bowl.

A few shocking new details regarding the suicide of Aaron Hernandez have reportedly been brought to light. According to an article in Newsweek, the former New England Patriots tight end and convicted murderer left three suicide notes this week prior to hanging himself in prison. One was to his fiancee. One was to his daughter. And the third was to his boyfriend in jail. All three hand-written messages were placed next to a Bible in Hernandez’s solitary prison cell in the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts. The Bible was opened to a section of the New Testament, John 3:16, which reads as follows: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him would not perish but have eternal life.” As previously noted, Hernandez had scrawled this same verse on his forehead with red ink, while also making marks on his hands and feet with that red pen. It was as if the disgraced athlete was mimicking the stigmata associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Newsweek continues: The 27-year-old ex NFL star – who was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for a murder he committed in 2013 – proceeded to jam the track of his cell door with cardboard to make it difficult for guards to enter. He also slicked the floor with liquid soap and shampoo. For what purpose? Investigators believe he did this make it harder for him to back out in case he lost his nerve. Hernandez then wrapped his bed sheet around his neck numerous times and tied one end of it to a bar on the window of his cell. A guard saw Hernandez’s dangling body around 3 a.m. on Tuesday; he was then transported to UMass Leominster hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:07 a.m. View Slideshow: Aaron Hernandez Commits Suicide; The Internet Reacts Hernandez was convicted in April of 2015 for shooting and killing his friend, Odin Lloyd. There was plenty of evidence to convict the former University of Florida standout, but his motive for the crime remained unclear. Now, however, interviews with multiple law enforcement officials closely tied to the case say Lloyd had information the football star did not want out: That Hernandez was bisexual. Ernest Wallace, a co-defendant in the Lloyd murder case, told detectives the victim had called Hernandez a “schmoocher,” which was translated at the time by Hernandez and his friends as a gay slur. Wallace, who is in prison for helping Hernandez get rid of the Lloyd murder weapon, also allegedly told his cousin during a jailhouse visit that he would not have assisted with this crime if he had known Hernandez was a “limp wrist.” Source tell Newsweek that Hernandez penned his third suicide note to a male lover in jail who is now on suicide watch. This same detailed article claims that Hernandez had a longtime boyfriend prior to being sentenced to prison. He was a high school friend and this man was interviewed extensively by authorities after Lloyd’s murder; he was even forced to testify in front of a grand jury. Law enforcement confirm that Hernandez moved a significant amount of money into three accounts shortly before his arrest for the Lloyd killing: One account was for his fiancée; a second was for his daughter; the third, where the majority of the cash was moved, was for this unnamed boyfriend. Officials have confirmed that Hernandez did, indeed, kill himself. Some people close to the ex-Patriots player have made controversial comments that Hernandez never would do such a thing. They’ve implied a murder is being covered up . But if the details of this latest extensive report are accurate, it may be the case that Aaron Hernandez kept a lot secret from those who thought they knew him well. Aaron Hernandez smiles here with his fiancee. The late tight end is believed to have lived a double life, afraid for years that his bisexual preferences would be made public We may never know every last aspect of his life. But we do know this life is now over. Hernandez leaves behind a four-year old daughter.
I’m not sure what this latest Bella Thorne photoshoot is for, but I’m not going to lie, I’m a little jealous. After all the posts I’ve done on her, some other lucky bastard gets to photograph her rolling around in bed? My phone takes great pictures! Anyway, I guess I just have to come to terms with the fact that the closest I’m ever going to get to seeing Bella naked in bed is looking at this photoshoot with my nose an inch from my computer screen. Oh well. Good enough!
