Earlier this year Aaron Hernandez hung himself from a prison window. Fast forward to last week where it was discovered that he had the second most severe case of CTE, a degenerative brain disease, caused by repeated severe blows to the head. But did Aaron Hernandez actually have CTE?

He was allegedly, a frequent drug user. I heard from two different sources that Mr. Hernandez did drugs like marijuana and angel dust, or PCP. Could they have contributed to his brain’s decadence?

We still do not know about whether or not it was CTE that claimed the life of Aaron Hernandez. His rampant drug use, allegedly, likely was the main factor and, contrary to popular opinion, not CTE. So what can be done to combat this?

Two things can be done to marginalize the number of cases like Aaron Hernandez...

Now that former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no shot at parole, I’m going to give you my thoughts on the case. They are:

1. Why did the defense only call three witnesses? Why didn’t they put forth a better effort? Right now no one knows, but the prosecution, even with circumstantial evidence, still managed to get a jury of twelve to convict Mr. Hernandez of first-degree homicide.

2. Did the jury know about the other case, the double-homicide in 2012? If so, they might have been biased, therefore depriving Mr. Hernandez of a fair trial.

I expect at some point in the future that there will be a retrial or even a overturning of the verdict because of these facts.

This afternoon I checked a photo that got on my Facebook wall showing Aaron Hernandez with a gun after the murder. As people learn new things regarding a case frequently their opinions change. Unless the defense is slick enough to say that photo should’ve remained sealed and the presiding judge would agree with that, I no longer see Hernandez being acquitted of murder at the state level. If he is convicted for killing a witness to the 2012 double homicide, which I think is a federal offense, he could face the death penalty if the FBI gets involved.

At about 12:15 PDT I learned on Pro Football Talk the Aaron Hernandez case could go federal, meaning the death penalty could be in play. The murders all happened in Massachusetts but the case itself spreads to Connecticut and Florida, making this an interstate crime. That is probably why the federal government is potentially involved and perhaps why Hernandez could be executed.

Given this new info at 12:24 PDT, I now doubt Hernandez is going to walk from this situation now, with the federal case being the reason why.

About two weeks ago I was reading an article from Pro Football Talk and I was shocked to learn that now-former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez not only was arrested in connection with the death of Odin Lloyd, but charged with killing Lloyd himself. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

From a football perspective: The Patriots released Hernandez within two hours of his arrest, according to profootballtalk.com and espn.com. The Patriots are already short a tight end with Rob Gronkowski having forearm and back surgeries this offseason. I don’t know if Tom Brady will have any reliable receivers to throw to unless Gronk gets healthy super-fast...
