Aaron Hernandez: A downward spiral (2017)

[@k94875]

He had everything. He had talent of playing football, had a family, fame, and success. He threw that away for a different life, of killing innocent people and pretending to be a tough man.

[@obidianudokem858]

What a waste of talent.

[@obidianudokem858]

He had it all, fame, success, money, and a family, but he threw it all away for a gangster life.

[@splinterbyrd]

It was subsequently established that he had a certain amount of brain damage, along with aload of other mental health problems.

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

He had one of the most severe cases of CTE discovered so far. He was also smoking PCP

He thought he was larger than life until life put him in his place. I feel no pity for this dude at all

[@Jamietheroadrunner]

When they did his autopsy his brain was like shredded cheese. He had the most severe case of CTE ever seen at the age of only 27 so it’s not like he had any self control left. It wasn’t because he was evil.

Nobody asked for your pity anyways.

[@davidpage3893]

Hernandez believed like you said thought he was indeed larger than life. For the ones he bullied and threatened it was inevitable that Hernandez was going to make mistakes that in the end brought him down. His upbringing and lack of parental love and guidance made him fall into his demise. So sad, but how many more like him are out there that will be caught?

For the judge to have excluded the text from evidence because [in his words] it was not proof Odin thought he was going to die, was rather short-sighted, and in my view, an error in judgement. For although the text did not prove Odin was thinking he was going to die, it proved a state of mind that realized he was not in a good position that night and needed a third party to know. Fortunately for the case, enough evidence existed to secure a guilty verdict. Some judges. SMH.

I think it all has to do with brain chemistry.

Little fact Chandler Jones who has been acting crazy lately saying Aaron didn’t kill himself played with Aaron on patriots around the time of murders. Well Chandler was best friends with Aaron and was known to smoke spice with him. Chandler got hi one night and ended up walking to police station butt naked screaming craziness. He was on spice you can literally google this story. The police station is right near the patriots stadium and a bunch of players live in the neighborhood….

As Dolphins fan, also a Christian, it is sad how The life of Odin Llyod and the other 2 guys were Shattered, In Aaron Hernandez case, I remember back when I found out about Aaron, I was in Shocked for what he did, one lesson learn if you have a carear like NFL, it is important any bad habit to abandonned it and never fall into it again, as a Christian, I cannot say I have No Symphaty for Aaron, but yes He lost all my respect and trust whatsoever, my heart goes to all who lost their lives.

I am surprised this wasn't bigger then the OJ trial. Only because of how many layers are in this tragic story.

OJ Simpson was already long retired from football and was in movies by the time his situation happened. Aaron had just started his NFL career

[@fpshooterful]

@@Dcjc25 True... but just talking about modern times. Aaron still had somewhat a decent track record, for football that is, prior getting into NFL.

[@jadmohsen8880]

This case is awful and tragic but all in all don’t think it’s fair to judge somebody who had the most advanced case of CTE known at the time. It’s a hard pill to swallow but we have to understand that mental illness is a real thing and can manifest in horror. Hernandez was very sick, while we definitely should hold him accountable, I think it works against us to demonise him.

[@penieljesuszuniga]

The Bible is rich when it comes to offering advice on how to live. For example, it warns that "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD" (Proverbs 16:18). His fame and financial standing made him pompous, thinking he is above the law, and now “How the mighty have fallen . . ." (2 Samuel 1:25)

[@bonznthuzs]

Bringing attention to the video of the three people getting in Aaron's car in his driveway all three are wearing white t-shirts getting in the vehicle but when they returned to Aaron's house shortly after 3:00 the back passenger gets out with the heavy dark black coat over his shoulders reviewing the tape of the passenger in the backseat when he comes to Aaron's front door he has no jacket on and he's pulling up his trousers wearing a white shirt we see this person again in the background when Aaron goes into the house and it does appear that he has something in his hand SECONDLY when we view the video of Odin getting in the vehicle from his apartment we see that he has a big dark jacket on possibly a dark hat. QUESTION: Did at the scene of the crime of Odin's murder was he found with a jacket on or off his body? MURDER suspect commonly keeps a souvenir( especially serial)t PERSON in the backseat of Aaron's car he has on a heavy jacket larger(3x) than his size returning into Aaron's house QUESTION: Did someone tamper with the evidence? iL appears to me when they have a video of the Altima lights and no movement e IF you watch the video, there's a SECOND SET of Lights appears. access road, but nothing's mentioned about it. That's my theory. My opinion

My son used to play football. Hes still young but kinda build like aaron in his teen years. And let me tell u, one day at a game another player. Flipped him from his helmet onto the ground.
