Ex-NFL star Hernandez, serving life, acquitted in 2 slayings. BOSTON (AP) — Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, already serving a life sentence for a 2013 murder, was acquitted Friday in a 2012 double slaying prosecutors said was fueled by his anger over a drink spilled at a nightclub. Updated 8:48 AM PST, June 3, 2021. December 31, 2022 by Robin. In June 2013, former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was found guilty of the crime in April 2015 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Lloyd’s body was found in an industrial park near David Schwartz claimed that Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez's spending habits "merits scrutiny" after she allegedly requested $10,000 for dance less for her daughter, Avielle, whom she shared with Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancee of Aaron Hernandez, was a critical figure in the 2015 trial.

Since the trial of Aaron Hernandez for the murder of Odin Lloyd began in January, it has been repeatedly suggested to jurors that Hernandez’s love of smoking marijuana helps to explain his innocence. Hernandez smoked marijuana, which is legal in Massachusetts for medicinal purposes but illegal for recreational uses, on a daily basis. According to Hernandez’s attorneys, Lloyd was instrumental in satisfying Hernandez’s craving for marijuana. Lloyd was Hernandez’s so-called “blunt master” in supplying marijuana and skillfully rolled joints. Two nights before Lloyd’s death, the two men—who were connected through their romantic relationships with sisters Shayanna Jenkins and Shaneah Jenkins—smoked marijuana together at Hernandez’s “flop house” in Franklin (Mass.). The defense’s basic theory is that Hernandez not only had no reason to kill Lloyd but that Hernandez had every incentive to protect his blunt master. Shayanna Jenkins testifies in dramatic day at Aaron Hernandez trial On Monday, Hernandez’s legal team once again nudged jurors to conclude that marijuana helps to explain Hernandez’s innocence. In answering questions from Hernandez attorney Charles Rankin, Shayanna Jenkins testified that a mysterious cardboard box that she hastily—and covertly—removed from Hernandez’s home a day after Lloyd’s death “smelled skunky...it smelled like marijuana.” Jenkins, who began her testimony last Friday, also testified that Bristol County (Mass.) prosecutors had not previously asked her about the smell of the box at the time she picked it up in a storage room in Hernandez’s it have been merely marijuana in the box?Viewed from a light most favorable to Hernandez, it would have been logical for Hernandez to want marijuana removed from his home and for the removal to happen quickly and COVERAGE: Opening statements | Day 31 | Day 32 | Day 33Consider the circumstances at this time. Police had already searched the exterior of Hernandez’s home and it was only a matter of time before they would obtain a warrant to search the home’s interior. If officers discovered marijuana in the home, they could have arrested Hernandez and charged him with possession of more than one ounce of marijuana. That charge, if proven, would have carried a penalty of up to six months in jail. If officers found substantial amounts of marijuana plus financial records suggesting drug deals might have been conducted in Hernandez’s home, Hernandez could have also been charged with the illegal sale of marijuana. This more significant charge would have carried a penalty of up to two years in prison. Worse yet for Hernandez, if officers found more than 50 pounds of marijuana in his home, Hernandez (in theory) could have been charged with trafficking, which if proven would have carried a sentence of up to 15 years in wasn't only the courts that Hernandez had to fear when it came to marijuana. He also needed to worry about Bill Belichick and Roger Goodell. Had Hernandez been arrested for illegal drugs, he would have faced adverse consequences at the hands of his employer, the New England Patriots, and the National Football League. From this lens, Jenkins’s testimony about smelling marijuana from the box would make sense, as would the need to remove the marijuana from the home before the cops it is thus plausible that the box might have only contained marijuana, Bristol county prosecutor William McCauley, who helped to arrange for Jenkins to testify with immunity, did not seem to believe Jenkins during this portion of her testimony. Jurors might feel similarly, as explained below. Prosecutors contend that the box instead contained the .45-caliber Glock pistol used to murder Lloyd in an industrial park located approximately a mile from Hernandez’s home. Jenkins’s testimony did not preclude the possibility that the box contained the gun—it’s possible the box contained marijuana and a firearm—but it certainly did not advance the prosecution’s theory about the box’s down Jenkins’s recollection of removing and discarding the boxJenkins on Monday admitted that Hernandez had instructed her by phone that it was “important” she get the box out of the house and that she do so without others noticing. She then testified about how she followed Hernandez’s instructions. Jenkins’s explanation likely left many questions for jurors about her believability and Jenkins told it, she retrieved a trash bag from the kitchen and used the bag to carry the box out of the home in a concealed manner. Jenkins also testified that she placed baby clothes over the box. The baby clothes, Jenkins explained, were to ensure “nothing was exposed,” although she curiously added ““I wasn’t necessarily hiding [the box] from certain individuals.” Jurors watched surveillance video taken from Hernandez’s home security system of Jenkins during this sequence. At one point, the video displays Jenkins walking by her sister, Shaneah, who dated Lloyd and was in Hernandez’s home for support as she grieved Lloyd’s likely questioned the truthfulness of Jenkins’s account when she asserted that Hernandez never told her what was inside the box. They probably also found dubious Jenkins’s explanation that she neither asked Hernandez about the box’s contents nor did she attempt to look inside. While it’s plausible that Jenkins would not look inside the box—Jenkins, after all, had no legal duty to look inside—it constituted an unlikely reaction. This is especially so given what had already occurred by this point in time: Jenkins had asked Hernandez if he had killed Lloyd (Hernandez responded he had not). It would seem peculiar that Jenkins, whose questioning of Hernandez suggested she had imagined a possible link between Lloyd’s death and Hernandez, would not peek inside the mysterious box that Hernandez urgently wanted out of the moreover, delivered inconsistent testimony about the weight of the box. She told McCauley on Monday the box weighed between 35 and 40 pounds, but in 2013 Jenkins told grand jurors it weighed about 25 pounds. Either weight would have constituted a substantial amount of marijuana, particularly for a user of marijuana rather than a dealer. Of course, it’s possible the box might have also contained such marijuana paraphernalia as a bong or pipe. Nevertheless, between Jenkins appearing completely incurious about what was inside the box and the box’s suspicious weight, jurors might struggle to believe might also be scratching their heads in regards to Jenkins’s testimony about how she discarded of the box. She testified that she borrowed her sister’s car and then “drove around” nearby towns for a while before finding a dumpster to discard the box. She didn’t recall the location of the dumpster, attributing the aimlessness of her journey to “nerves” and the need to “play a neutral role” between “trying to comfort” her sister and—though Jenkins did not directly say it—looking out for her fiancé’s best interests. One of the towns she drove through was Foxboro (Mass), where the Patriots play their games in Gillette Stadium. Jenkins then returned home from the mysterious dumpster, parked the car in Hernandez’s driveway and brought the baby clothes back to ContinueSI RecommendsPerhaps Jenkins’s least believable statement occurred when she testified that she didn’t recall ever speaking to Hernandez again about the box—even to confirm that it had been discarded. For jurors who were told that Hernandez stressed to Jenkins the importance of the box’s removal, they are likely wondering why Jenkins didn’t verify to Hernandez that the box was gone for Memory?While Jenkins seemed foggy about what took place with the box, she exhibited precision in recalling most other pieces of information. For instance, Jenkins told jurors about her history with Hernandez, whom she had met as a classmate while in elementary school. Jenkins elaborated on how their relationship evolved from a friendship in elementary and middle school into an intimate relationship while in high school. Jenkins later testified in detail about various home improvements, including the addition of a personalized Patriots pool table and an enhanced exercise room. She even recalled the individual who had installed the home theater in Hernandez’s home and at what time the installation occurred. Further, Jenkins demonstrated a clear memory in remembering positive experiences in the weekend preceding Lloyd’s death on Monday, June 17, 2013. These experiences included having breakfast with Hernandez’s mother, going out to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse with Hernandez and their daughter and planning a picnic for her contrast in detail and recollection between Jenkins’s testimony about the box and her testimony about most other topics was striking. The fact that Jenkins spoke eloquently and fluidly about those other topics while struggling to talk about the box only accentuated this contrast. Unfortunately for Jenkins—and Hernandez—the contrast could lead some jurors to find her lack of memories about what took place hours after Lloyd’s murder to be more suggestive of an unwillingness to implicate Hernandez than a willingness to truthfully portrays Hernandez as unfaithful in their relationshipOne of the more moving sequences in Monday’s testimony occurred when Jenkins spoke about difficulties in her relationship with Hernandez. Jenkins acknowledged that Hernandez was unfaithful. She also described how her relationship with him “was worth fighting for” even if it required “compromising” and accepting infidelity. She added that she and Hernandez had planned to wed on April 12, 2014 in California. Shayanna Jenkins's testimony will be vital in Hernandez murder trial Jenkins’s testimony about Hernandez cheating on her could hurt and help Hernandez’s case in the eyes of the 15 jurors, 10 of whom are women. From a negative standpoint, Hernandez cheating on his fiancée and the mother of his infant daughter reflects poorly on his moral compass. Jurors have already heard that Hernandez tried to kiss the babysitter, Jennifer Fortier, at his flop house and dance with a woman, Kasey Arma, at the Rumor Nightclub in Boston. Now they have heard from Hernandez’s fiancée that Hernandez may have often been a womanizer. To be clear, character evidence is inadmissible in a trial unless the defendant makes his character an issue. But prosecutors often try to “indirectly” get in character evidence. Hernandez being unfaithful doesn’t make him any more likely to have murdered Lloyd, but Hernandez’s attorneys do not want jurors to dislike or resent him—especially if they ultimately find his guilt or innocence to be a close the other hand, Jenkins portraying Hernandez as a womanizer suggests she had reasons to leave him and fewer reasons to lie on his behalf in this trial. This makes her testimony supporting Hernandez arguably more believable. Jenkins describes Lloyd and Hernandez as close and friendlyIn addition to her crucial testimony about a marijuana odor emanating from the bag, Jenkins advanced Hernandez’s defense by describing a close bond between Hernandez and Lloyd. She detailed the first time Hernandez met Lloyd, which occurred at Hernandez’s home after a preseason Patriots game in August, 2012. Thereafter, Lloyd and Shaneah Jenkins would occasionally stay over Hernandez’s home. Hernandez and Lloyd, Shayanna Jenkins explained, would smoke marijuana in Hernandez’s “man cave.” She did not speak about any hostility between the men, instead describing them as friends and marijuana in mind, the prosecution is expected to rest its case by next week. Although motive is not a required element for a murder conviction, jurors typically want an explanation as to why the defendant would have intentionally tried to kill the victim (or, though joint venture, shared the intent to see the killing occur). Prosecutors have yet to establish a clear reason why Hernandez would have wanted Lloyd murdered. Jenkins’s testimony on Monday did not help the prosecution in this describes Carlos Ortiz as an outsider: possible preview of the defenseIn a potential preview of Aaron Hernandez’s forthcoming case-in-chief, Jenkins framed co-defendant Carlos Ortiz as something of an outsider in the group. She mentioned that while she knew co-defendant Ernest Wallace, she knew very little about Ortiz, who was at her house the night of Lloyd’s claimed she had only met Ortiz once before, and it was at an inn in Newport ( Rankin tried to pounce on this testimony, asking Jenkins “Would it be fair to say that [Ortiz] tagged along [spouse of Hernandez cousin] Singleton” when they met at the inn. McCauley objected to the question and Judge Susan Garsh sustained, but to me it was a telling exchange. Ortiz—who along with Wallace will face separate trials—has reportedly tried to cooperate with prosecutors but has been deemed non-credible. Wallace, in contrast, supposedly remains close to Hernandez, who some reports suggest is paying Wallace’s legal fees. If Hernandez were to try to blame Lloyd’s death on someone else, there’s an excellent chance that person is Ortiz.

Here’s what we know about Jenkins, her baby girl and her relationship with Hernandez, whom she was dating at the time of his suicide in prison last year. 1. Hernandez Isn’t the Father — Whom Jenkins Has Not Publicly ID’d Sources close to the family confirmed to PEOPLE that Hernandez, 27, did not freeze his sperm before he killed himself in April 2017 and is not the baby’s father (whom Jenkins has not publicly identified). Jenkins has another daughter, 5-year-old Avielle, with Hernandez. “I thank everyone for the continued support and appreciate the respect for our privacy that has been shown,” Jenkins posted on Instagram on May 22 when she revealed she was expecting. Aaron Hernandez Court Appearance Aaron Hernandez (right) in August 2013 2. Hernandez ‘Would Be Happy’ for Jenkins Jenkins’ surprise pregnant announcement left many who knew the former football player wondering what Hernandez, who was serving a life sentence in prison for murdering Odin Lloyd, would have thought of the latest developments. “Aaron had demons; we all know that. But he really was devoted to his daughter. Boy, did he love her,” said a former teammate of Hernandez’s from the University of Florida. “I think he’d be very glad to know that she was going to have a little sister.” Would Hernandez be okay with the fact that Jenkins has moved on with her life? “She was so loyal to him,” said the former teammate. “He would be happy for her.” 3. They Dated for 10 Years Before Hernandez’s Suicide Hernandez and Jenkins had a complicated relationship. They started dating in 2007 and welcomed daughter Avielle in 2012. In November of that year, the two also became engaged and Jenkins publicly began using Hernandez’s last name, although they never married. Lloyd, the man Hernandez was convicted of murdering, had dated Jenkins’ sister. Still, she supported him while he was on trial for Lloyd’s murder and attended the trial along with Avielle. “In many ways, Shayanna was the best thing to ever happen to him,” the former college teammate told PEOPLE in May. “He was crazy about her. She knew a lot of things about him, and she accepted him anyway.” shayanna-jenkins-2-2000 Shayanna Jenkins (center) reacts after Aaron Hernandez is acquitted in April 2017 of double murder | Credit: AP Photo/Stephan Savoia, Pool 4. Jenkins Said She Didn’t Think Hernandez Killed Himself — Authorities Disagree “I don’t think this was a suicide,” Jenkins said in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw that aired in May 2017 on the Dr. Phil show. Hernandez was serving a life sentence for Lloyd’s 2013 murder and his appeal was still in its early stages. At the time of his death, he had recently been acquitted of double-murder charges in the 2012 shooting deaths of two men outside a Boston nightclub. Citing his recent acquittal and pending appeal, Jenkins-Hernandez told McGraw, “That would make me doubt that he took his own life. He was very positive, so excited to come home.” She added that Hernandez had recently spoken with Avielle after his acquittal and told her, “Daddy’s gonna be home.” Jenkins spoke with her fiancé the night before his death, she told McGraw. “The feedback I was getting from our last talk had nothing to do with suicidal thoughts,” she said. Hernandez was found unresponsive in his cell at Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts, about 3 on April 19. According to Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Henry N. Nields, his manner of death was suicide and the cause was asphyxia by hanging. Worcester County, Massachusetts, District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. told reporters that there was no sign of a struggle in Hernandez’s cell.

Jenkins Knew Hernandez Was Bisexual and Was Supportive: Teammate One of the things that Jenkins’ accepted about Hernandez was his bisexuality. “She knew that about him,” a source told PEOPLE in May, “And she supported him.” Hernandez’s attorney, Jose Baez, previously told PEOPLE that one of three letters Hernandez left behind after his suicide was not for another male inmate, as the inmate publicly claimed, and that the speculation Hernandez had a jailhouse lover was untrue. TMZ reported that the recipient of the third letter was Baez, but he declined to confirm the report to PEOPLE. 5. Jenkins and Daughter ‘Are Beyond Excited About the New Addition’ When she announced her pregnancy in May, Jenkins also gushed about her “new addition.” “We are beyond excited about the new addition and chapter we will soon begin,” she wrote. “I couldn’t be a luckier woman to have such a perfect little girl that’s prepared to become the best big sister.” She continued that she was “even more blessed to welcome another baby girl to our home.” Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, the fiancée of Aaron Hernandez, said she initially thought news of the former New England Patriots star’s suicide last month was a prank. “I thought it was a hoax, that this was some cruel person playing a trick on me,” Jenkins-Hernandez said during an interview with daytime talk show host Dr. Phil, in her first public comments since Hernandez’s was found hanged on April 19 in his prison cell at a Massachusetts correctional facility, where he was serving a life sentence for the 2012 murder of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez reportedly left three suicide notes near his body – two of which were addressed to Jenkins and the couple’s young daughter. More on this... Jenkins-Hernandez said there was no indication Hernandez planned to kill himself, stating that their last conversation “had nothing to do with suicidal thoughts.” “I felt like we were looking so bright. We were going up a ladder to a positive direction,” Jenkins-Hernandez told Dr. Massachusetts judge opted this week to erase Hernandez’s conviction for Lloyd’s murder, citing a longstanding state legal tenant that renders rulings void if the defendant dies before the appeal process is reportedly told his fiancée that she was “rich” in one of the suicide notes, fueling rumors that the former NFL standout committed suicide to clear his criminal record and make it easier for his estate to protect or recover financial reportedly addresses the rumor during the Dr. Phil interview, which is set to air in two parts next Monday and legal expert told FOX Business this week that it’s unlikely Hernandez’s estate will be able to recover lost bonus or pension money from the Patriots or the NFL, despite the fact that his criminal record is technically clean. AARON Hernandez told his fiancee she’s “rich” in the suicide letter he wrote to her before killing himself in his jail cell last month.“Tell my story fully but never think anything besides how much I love you,” he wrote to fiancee Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez in the note, according to a copy obtained by NBC Boston. “This was the supremes, the almightys plan, not mine! I love you!”At the end of the letter, the former New England Patriots star urges her to look “after [Redacted] and [Redacted] for me — those are my boys. (You’re rich.)”Calling Jenkins-Hernandez his “soulmate” and an “angel,” Hernandez also tells his fiancee to “live life and know I’m always with you.”“I told you what was coming indirectly!” he says. “I love you so much and know you are an angel — literally! We split into two to come change the world!”Hernandez, who was serving a life sentence for the killing of Odin Lloyd, hanged himself in his cell at the Souza-Barnowski Correctional Center on April comes as more questions about his death were raised by the release of the official Massashusetts state Department of Correction report into his death was released. Hernandez was excited about his acquittal in a 2012 double slaying and did not appear to have thoughts of suicide in the days before he killed himself in his prison cell, according to a report from Massachusetts prison officials. The state Department of Correction report released Friday (AEDT) also said there were no drugs in Hernandez’s system when the former New England Patriots tight end hanged himself at the Souza-Baranowski prison on April 19 while serving a life sentence in a 2013 murder. Hernandez was found hanging from a bed sheet in his cell just five days after he was acquitted in the killings of two men in Boston in July 2012. The report described interviews with inmates who said that in the days before his death, Hernandez appeared happy about his acquittal and seemed to be looking forward to the future. “They stated that he was positive and even happily emotional, which was not usual of Hernandez,” the report states. An inmate who claimed to be one of Hernandez’s closest friends said he was shocked by Hernandez’s suicide because he seemed so upbeat after his acquittal. “Since Friday’s verdict he had been talking about the NFL and going back to play even if it wasn’t with the Pats,” the inmate said, according to the report. “He talked about his daughter and spending time with her,” the same inmate said. “There was absolutely no indication he would do anything like that.” A separate report released Thursday by state police said Hernandez wrote “John 3:16,” a reference to a biblical passage, in ink on his forehead and in blood on the wall of his cell. The Bible verse says: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hernandez’s right middle finger had a fresh cut and there was blood on adjacent fingers. There also appeared to be a large circular blood mark on each of his feet. A Bible was nearby, open to John 3:16, with the verse marked in blood. Some inmates said Hernandez had become increasingly spiritual during his time in prison. “They felt that his suicide had been some sort of religious message,” the Department of Correction report report also said Hernandez knew about Massachusetts case law that says a prisoner’s convictions can be erased if he dies before his appeal has been heard, as Hernandez did. One inmate said Hernandez had recently mentioned that legal principle to him. “The rumour was that if an inmate has an open appeal on his case and dies in prison, he is acquitted of his charge and will be deemed not guilty,” the report said. Hernandez’s lawyers in his double-murder trial have also said Hernandez showed no signs he planned to kill himself, and they have pledged to conduct an independent investigation into Hernandez’s death. In a statement, the defence team blasted state officials for leaks to the media of some of the information contained in the reports. “The unprofessional behaviour of those entrusted to impartially and professionally conduct an investigation into Aaron’s death has caused grave concern as to the validity and thoroughness of the investigation,” the lawyers said in a statement. “Accordingly, we intend to fully, completely and impartially review all of the evidence in this matter.” Hernandez, 27, played three seasons for the Patriots before he was released by the team hours after his arrest in June 2013 in the killing of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder in that case and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2014, he was charged in the drive-by shootings of two Boston men in 2012. He was acquitted in those killings last month. — with AP Readers seeking support and information about suicide prevention can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14. Shayanna Jenkins Bio, Wiki Shayanna Jenkins was the fiancee of NFL star Aaron Hernandez, and the mother of his child. Aaron wrote a suicide note to Shayanna, calling her his soulmate. Hernandez was an American football tight end in the National Football League and convicted murderer. Hernandez was sitting in prison, at the time he hanged himself in his cell, for the murder of Odin Lloyd, who was dating Shaneah Jenkins, the sister of Shayanna. Shayanna Jenkins & Aaron Hernandez Hernandez began dating Shayanna Jenkins in 2007. They had been friends since they were in elementary school and were high school sweethearts. Their daughter was born in 2012 and they became engaged in the same month. Also that month, Hernandez purchased a $ million, 8,130 square foot (755 m2) four-story home with an in-ground pool in North Attleborough, Massachusetts where the family lived together. Judging from the recent Instagram post, Shayanna never her lost affection for the NFL star, “Life has knocked me down, it showed me things I never wanted to see, I experienced sadness and failures. But I always get up.” Although she never got to live her dream of marrying Aaron, her childhood sweetheart (a judge approved her request to change her last name in 2015 to match her daughter’s.) Jenkins Hernandez is the mother of Avielle Jenkins-Hernandez, Aaron’s daughter. The tragic downfall of Hernandez – who went from football phenom to convicted murderer – is featured in a new Netflix series called Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez. It argues that Hernandez was leading a secret gay lifestyle that may have contributed to his turmoil. Shayanna has spoken out about the news that emerged that Hernandez had sexual relationships with men. The Daily Mail wrote that Jenkins wrote a forward in a book called “Unnecessary Roughness,” by Jose Baez. “There has been much speculation about Aaron’s sexuality since his death. I can say this: Aaron was very much a man to me,” Jenkins wrote in the forward. “I saw no indication that he was gay or homosexual. I wish I had known how he felt, just so we could have talked about it. I wouldn’t have disowned him. I would have been supportive. I can’t fault him if he was feeling that way.” Shayanna Jenkins Lawsuit According to ENews, Shayanna launched a lawsuit on behalf of Avielle against the NFL. After his death, he was diagnosed with severe CTE. The $20 million lawsuit alleged the league was “fully aware of the damage that could be inflicted from repetitive impact injuries and failed to disclose, treat or protect him from the dangers of such damage,” according to Enews. “Aaron Hernandez succumbed to the symptoms of CTE,” the suit continued. “As a result of the defendants’ conduct and the injury experienced by Aaron, Avielle Hernandez was deprived of the love, affect, society and companionship of her father while he was alive.” The suit was thrown out by a judge based on her determination that Hernandez was basically retired at the time. Hernandez left an estate worth almost nothing in the end. Shayanna Jenkins Fiance (Dino Guilmette) A year after Aaron’s suicide, Shayanna had another baby with a different man. According to RadarOnline, in 2018, she and fiancee Dino Guilmette welcomed a girl. “I’m going to have my hands full, but I’m happy about it,” he told RadarOnline. “I’m excited. It’s my daughter. She will have two sisters. I have another daughter from a previous relationship and then there’s Shayanna’s daughter with Aaron. It’s very exciting.”
