Surprised it took him this long to do it really. Thought because he's been in jail for a while he wasn't going to do it. Oh well.

Pure waste of talent.

I said to myself when I saw OG's thread that I would not comment on this as he does not deserve to have any sort of mention but I couldn't help it. As NikW71 said, what a waste of talent! The guy could have made it really big, on that team especially. How mentally unstable can you be to kill (and try to kill) multiple people without any consequences?!

Guess that conscience kicked in yesterday night.

Was it though? or was it him taking the only way out of prison he had - not being able to deal with the future he created for himself?

I didn’t want to stir anything up, I just was shocked to see it because he’s been in jail for 4yrs now (I think) and now he does it right after his 2^nd murder trial. Personally to me he saw what his actions did again and being in jail for 4yrs wore him down.

But I was definitely not expecting this as his end.

It could very well be that as well.

I found this interesting. He was acquitted of other charges recently and I'm wondering if this is his way of going out "officially" clean even though his legacy as a person will always be tainted.

aren't the patriots meeting at the white house today? that might have been the tipping point, the guy went from being a star living a life millions would envy to being in prison.

Interesting timeline with the Pat's Whitehouse visit today and the recent acquittal of some of his other allegations.

On a more human note, he has a young daughter. Unfortunate news for his family.

I know this may be dark. but she was very young when this all happened i think in 2013 (like new born), so she's maybe 4-5. I thought i read last yr or the yr before saying his Fiance and daughter didnt want any interaction with him. So If that still stands, she's never met AH and likely wouldn't unless she wanted too. Might be better off not knowing him at all

The hardest part would be having to explain to your daughter that your dad is in jail because he killed your uncle over speculation that your uncle might have been talking about a previous murder your dad committed.

A sad ending to a sad story

Hardest part indeed haha.
Oh 100%, she will grow up with nothing but haunting stories in place of her father. I think I remember an image of him blowing her a kiss in court of something like that. Not important though

He was showing signs of becoming a star but he was also in a great situation to pad his numbers.

for the past week i was watching hernandez videos. kept thinking what a tragedy this all became. young man had it all then threw it all away and was living a tough life in prison.
