What a waste of an opportunity to play pro football. Today, jurors convicted former NFL player, Aaron Hernandez, 25, in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd. The 1st-degree murder conviction carries a lifetime sentence without parole. He was also found guilty of firearm and ammunition charges.
The former New England Patriots tight end will serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder of the 27-year-old landscaper. He was found guilty of unlawful firearm possession and unlawful ammunition possession even though there were no eyewitnesses and no murder weapon was recovered.
Hernandez’s mother, Terri Hernandez; and fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, cried when the verdict was handed down.
