My God, can we please move off of Hernandez? He was a piece of garbage, period....Also, the timing of his suicide could be in accordance with his former team going to the White House on the same day..Depression maybe?

This is just too much....If you made a movie about it nobody would believe it. ESPN in the last two days has consumed their programming with this animal. Please people forget the fact that he was a great NFL tight end, he was an absolute thug that had tons of money, but still wanted to be a thug...I feel bad for his 4 yr. old daughter, but screw him big time...

Guess the medical examiner/DA's office who ruled it a suicide are in on the plot, and the three suicide notes they found are fake too.

Maybe, but it seems the abatement ab initio finding is something the Plaintiff's lawyers believe may require the Patriots to make a multi-million dollar payment, previously withheld, to Hernandez' estate. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/20..._Pos1#comments

Ironically, it is possible the suicide may bring the parties together on a settlement. Plaintiff may be less interested in vengeance with Hernandez dead and might, just might, have a degree of sympathy for allowing some money to remain with his little daughter, especially if one alternative is to watch the pot shrink as litigation drags on to the primary benefit of the estate's defense lawyers. Time will tell.

Isn't that the point of litigation?

It was initially reported that there was no suicide note. Now they found not only 1, but 3. If I see a hand writing analyst's report that he did write the letters I will believe it. For now I have my doubts.

If he knew this was the only way to pass his estate to his daughter, because his first conviction would be vacated, then the timing and suicide make sense.

It's a conspiracy!! And the DA is part of the cover up.

In spite of everything, isn't it just wonderful to get to hear from Jose Baez again?

I almost throw up every time I see his Cheshire Cat smile.

He gives lawyers a bad name!

It depends on if we are talking about population control or not. Who writes 3 notes? I have never heard of anyone doing this before.

Get over it. He killed himself.
You ask who writes three suicide notes? How about someone who is crazy and about to commit suicide? Actually, when we think about someone killing themselves does anything else really matter or sound more crazy?

I know some handwriting analyst's who will say anything about anyone's handwriting. We have discussed all their attributes on Net54.

From what I've read the notes weren't suicide notes. They were just things he wrote. He is also said to have smoked K2 before killing himself. If you've ever seen any videos of people after they've smoked K2 it's not hard to believe that they wrote something insane before they died. The bible verse on the forehead should be a good tip off to his mental state at the time.

Hernandez's older brother, Jonathan "DJ'' Hernandez, meanwhile, took to Facebook on Thursday to wish his mother, Terri Hernandez, happy birthday. "I know if Aaron was here one more day he would have said he loves you,'' he wrote. "Keep smiling because I know Aaron and Dad are both smiling down on you [and] us right now.''

His brother got it wrong not smiling "down," should have said looking "up."

I don't even follow football, at all. I watch it for the commercials. I guess you didn't pick up on my subtle humor.

But yes, I would say most people don't sit down and do revisions on their suicide note. I would find it odd, no matter how crazy the person is. I can't recall ever hearing about a suicide where there was revisions of someone's last words.

They were NOT suicide notes. They were notes to his family. They were separate notes, not revisions.

Whatever was written on the three notes, reportedly one was for his fiancée, one for his daughter, and one for a fellow inmate that, shall we say, he had become very close to.

So now, because of the screwed up Massachusett's laws, the Patriots may have to pay out the rest of the scumbags salary. Not only that but Odin Lloyd's family is also looking for a handout from the Patriots lest they may file a wrongful death suit against them. What's wrong here besides everything?

I'm a firm believer of being against suicide, but I guess he looked at it as a permanent solution to a permanent problem

I doubt that the patriots owe his estate money based on what i have read.

For years after one of the men got out he was forced to register as a sex offender even though another man had confessed to the crime the court convicted him of. The system's excuse was that because he had served a full sentence he wasn't eligible for exoneration. It took a full pardon from the state before he was allowed to stop registering as a sex offender for a crime another man confessed to.
No, that is fake news. They can sue civilly; they cannot rely on a guilty verdict to automatically establish civil liability. OJ got nailed in a civil case after he was acquitted.

As for the suicide, good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope every murderer kills himself shortly after being convicted. Saves the taxpayers a lifetime of expense.

I see many people questioning the timing, but there is a lot about the timing that makes a good deal of sense. Realize that Hernandez was staying in a holding cell for his trial, and once the trial ended, it was back to prison. With that trial over, there was nothing else to look forward to but slow aging in general prison population.

In combination with the aforementioned possibilities of legal loopholes and their consequences, nothing about the timing seems suspicious to me at all. But people do love conspiracy theories.
