Isn't it time for him and all those who believed in Hernandez to finally admit that they really did not know him as well as they thought?
Guilty or not I'm not buying that this was a suicide. It seems just as likely that the number of things jammed up against the door were staged to help someone else get away with murder.

The items were, reportedly, jammed up against the door on the INSIDE and he was in a single person cell...come on Sherlock...think!

I don't really understand the conspiracy theories either. I mean, this guy was HUGE. It would take more than one person to subdue him enough to hang him and I don't hear anyone reporting any external injuries on him.

Always expect conspiracy theories.

I remember when a collector showed me an original item he'd won at auction that he was worried was a fake. He brought up all these details, which I said weren't a problem. I finally said "You're just going to have to accept the fact that it's authentic."

Don't let the facts get in the way of baseless speculation now.

Who reported that? A prison official? Has anyone seen proof of what was jammed up against the door, or that only Hernandez could have done it? If that has been released I haven't seen it. Until then I will have my doubts. If nothing else the timing alone is suspicious.

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?

I just saw this card. Polar opposites I guess.

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.

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!

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.
