Former Patriots Tight End Aaron Hernandez
Opening:
The
case against Aaron Hernandez is unfortunate. Too often we see rising stars fall
into negativity and loose it all. As I have been following the case very
closely I have heard from legal analyst that Aaron Hernandez was arrested on Wednesday,
June 26, 2012 because police say they have enough evidence to press charges
against Hernandez for First degree murder.
Evidence:
Text
messages, gum, and a shell casing are just some of the evidence presented
during the arraignment. We know that there is evidence in this case that may
point Aaron Hernandez to the murder. Now it’s the defenses job to place doubt
in a jury’s head. Since there still has not been a gun found it makes the
prosecution’s case a little more difficult.
Media
Reaction: There
are people on both sides of this case. Some believe Aaron Hernandez indeed
murdered the victim and others do not believe it. I came across an Instagram
post which read “That’s what he gets for committing murder”. But there was also
a post that read “Thoughts and Prayers go to both Families.”
This is an unfortunate case all around. Whether Hernandez
did it or not his life and career will never be the same neither will the lives
of the victims’ family. Odin Lloyd (the murdered victim) is gone and his family
has to mourn his death for the rest of their lives. And Hernandez’s family has
to deal with a grueling case against a relative. There’s a very good lesson to
be taken from this. Watch the company you keep. Hernandez may have or may not
have murdered Oden Lloyd but there was enough reason to link him to the murder.
If you know the people you hang out with are involved with illegal activity or
may have dangerous personalities or a dangerous lifestyle STOP hanging out with them.
Keep them at a distance. Yes, it’s nice to have people to talk to and hang out
with but you have to be careful. Not everyone has good intentions and their
defaults can drag you down with them. So remember to be safe, and think smart.
If your gut is telling you no listen to it.
Stay tuned for more developing coverage on the case. My news
