Hernandez’s Secret
Above all else, I’m a Bostonian first. So, I have followed the Aaron Hernandez murder trial(s) with some interest. Once he committed suicide, I was perplexed. He just was acquitted of murder, and his current lawyer was sure he could get an appeal going for the first murder sentence. This is not when I would expect someone to commit suicide – Scripture passages notwithstanding. But his death brought forth some revelations which helped make sense of a lot of things. Apparently the first murder victim (a guy who was dating the sister of Aaron’s fiancé) allegedly knew that Hernandez was bisexual. That at least gives Aaron a motive for murder – to prevent the rumor from getting out. Is the story true? Who knows. But allegedly Hernandez left three notes – one to his fiancé, one to his daughter, and one to someone described as “his prison boyfriend”. It has also been alleged that the prison beau is a significant beneficiary in Aaron’s will. You mean there was money involved? Shit, I would have been up for a conjugal visit had I known that!
