Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez to be Questioned

~2500 jerseys returned as Kraft states that "If this stuff is true, then I've been duped and our whole organization has been duped." He goes on to reveal some additional interesting facts re. Hernandez and his "vows" to the Patriots

Kraft then shared a letter written by Hernandez before the 2010 draft in which Hernandez addressed his alleged use of marijuana at the University of Florida and agreed to biweekly drug tests throughout his rookie season if the Patriots drafted him. Hernandez also agreed to tie any guaranteed portion of his 2010 compensation to drug tests.

"I ask you to trust me when I say you have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to me and the use of recreational drugs," Hernandez wrote on the letterhead of the agency that represented him, Athletes First. "I have set very high goals for myself in the NFL and am focused 100 percent on achieving those goals."

The Patriots drafted Hernandez in the fourth round that year, 113th overall, an area where Kraft said the team has taken risks with players in the past.

As for the level of risk with Hernandez, Kraft said, "The only thing I was aware of was in this letter." He added that Hernandez was "putting his money where his mouth was" by agreeing to reimburse the team for part of his contract if a drug test was failed.

In August 2012, as Hernandez entered his third NFL season, the Patriots signed him to a contract extension through 2018 that included a $12.5 million signing bonus and could have been worth almost $40 million.

Kraft said he was told by coach Bill Belichick that after the extension, Hernandez had one of the best training camp performances of any player on the team. When asked whether the Patriots had Hernandez on any "team- or coach-imposed short leash," Kraft said the team wouldn't have signed him to that type of contract if that was the case.

"It obviously wasn't the correct decision," he said.

At the time, Hernandez donated $50,000 to the Myra Kraft Giving Back Fund.

"He spoke to me about wanting to be a role model in the Hispanic community," Kraft said. "... I believed him. ... He knew how to push my buttons."

Kraft pointed to his family's 20 years of ownership, and all the players signed by the club, in saying "by and large, the organization has done a good job."

The Patriots will absorb a $7.5 million salary cap charge in 2014 by releasing Hernandez, which will affect the club's ability to field as competitive a team as desired. While the Patriots could have waited to release Hernandez, and perhaps not taken such a big salary cap charge, Kraft said "principle is more important than money."

"There are big costs, big distractions; everything we don't want happening," he said.

Kraft also said the team also had about 2,500 Hernandez jerseys returned to its pro shop over the last two days, with fans exchanging them free of charge, which cost the club around $250,000. He said the Hernandez jerseys turned in would be "ground up and recycled."

In the vein of a true sociopath, AHern could turn on the charm.
 
Looks like a judge is lifting the gag on lots of info that has so far not been released. Should be interesting.

As prosecutors continue to build a case for murder against Aaron Hernandez, they’ll be required to share a lot of the evidence with the public.

According to the Associated Press, a judge on Monday granted a request made by news organizations to lift an order sealing the search warrants issued in the case. The warrants will be released on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. ET, absent a challenge from lawyers for both sides, who wanted to keep the information secret.

Per CNN, the order encompasses the search warrants, the affidavits submitted to support the issuance of the warrants, and documents reflecting the evidence that was recovered.

So, basically, we’ll find out what the police wanted, why they wanted it, and what they found.

The information could be extensive. Most of the evidence disclosed, for example, in the investigation of customer fraud at Pilot Flying J came from the lengthy affidavit submitted in support of the request for search warrants.

It’s a fairly simple process. The Fourth Amendment protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures. (The page apparently fell out of the NSA’s copy of the Constitution.) To overcome that protection, the authorities must persuade a judge that probable cause exists to believe that evidence of a crime will be found during the search.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former tight end Aaron Hernandez had a tight bond during the player's three seasons with the team.

Hernandez would often greet the owner with a kiss on the cheek and donated $50,000 to a charity created in honor of Kraft's late wife. Kraft said that the former Florida standout volunteered to take biweekly drug tests if the Patriots took a chance on him and that Hernandez informed him on draft night that the first jersey he ever owned was that of former New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe.

“He was a New England kid who was a Patriot," Kraft said of the Bristol, Conn., native. "I thought it was cool.”

So it's no wonder that Kraft says that he and the rest of the organization were fooled if the murder charge against Hernandez is true.

Florida Football's Top Lawyer -- Huntley Johnson Represented Aaron Hernandez and Many Other Gators; NCAA Rules Allow Pro Bono

PJ-BP225_SP_PRO_G_20130708192602.jpg


Aaron Hernandez arrived at the University of Florida in 2007 with a few disadvantages: He was far from his home in Bristol, Conn., and was only 17 years old, having graduated early from high school. But because he played for the Florida football team, he had a powerful ally from the moment he arrived on campus: criminal defense attorney Huntley Johnson.

In addition to donating at least $4,500 to Florida's athletic fund since 2011, according to booster-club records, Johnson, a 66-year-old graduate of Florida's law school, has become the go-to attorney for Florida athletes who get into trouble with the law. Over the past two decades, the Gainesville lawyer has represented dozens of Gators players in criminal cases ranging from allegations of misdemeanor assault to felony burglary. So prevalent is Johnson at the side of accused Gators that in a 2009 article, the Orlando Sentinel described him as the football program's "defensive MVP."

Gainesville police records show that during Hernandez's three years at Florida, in which the team won a national championship, Johnson provided counsel on at least two legal matters...

Cops: Hernandez slammed door on homicide detective
Tuesday, July 9, 2013

By:
Christine McConville, John Zaremba

Ex-Patriots star Aaron Hernandez slammed his front door on police and groused about "all the questions" they had for him while probing the execution-style murder of a semipro football player, according to court papers released this afternoon.

Hernandez, using his high-tech home surveillance system, spotted cops approaching his $1.3 million North Attleboro manse on June 18 -- the day after the murder of 27-year-old Odin L. Lloyd of Dorchester -- and "became argumentative" after meeting them outside the house, according to a state police affidavit released today in Attleboro District Court.

"Aaron Hernandez then became argumentative with the officers, and asked 'what's with all the questions?,'" state police trooper Eric J. Benson wrote in an affidavit to obtain a search warrant of the home.

When police told him they were investigating a death, he wrote, "Mr. Hernandez slammed the door and locked it behind him. Aaron Hernandez did not ask officers whose death was being investigated nor did he display any outward signs of concern."

Tweets read bottom-to-top, give a bit of a timeline...

Maria Cramer ‏@GlobeMCramer
Police are still looking for that missing rear view mirror.

Hernandez said he didn't know how it happened. "explained that he just came outside and saw that the vehicle was damaged," docs say

When Hernandez returns the car to enterprise one day after murder, he apologizes to the manager for the damage.

The Altima sustains damage to driver's side and loses side view mirror.

One last detail then I gotta start writing. Police mention that at some point the night of killing...

Lloyd's pockets had his wallet, two sets of keys for a black Chevy Suburban, a cell phone and $64.75 in cash.

at 3:33 am Hernandez is back home. video shows him standing at the entrance of his basement, moving what looks like a gun from hand to hand

Employees of a business not far from murder scene were on a break between 3 and 3:30 when they hear several gunshots.

A silver car pulled up at odin lloyd's house at 2:30 am and picked up lloyd, Victim's sister later tells police

At 1 am, three men leave the home in a silver car that looks like the Nissan Altima used in the crime, docs say.

Early Monday morning, video surveillance shows Hernandez in his living room holding what looks like a gun.

That night they had gone to rumor nightclub in Boston where a club employee said Hernandez had what looked like a gun in his waistband

Docs provide good tick tock of events leading to killing: Friday night, 6/14, Hernandez and Lloyd got drunk and slept outside Lloyd's home

When police were searching for Hernandez they stopped by home of unidentified pats coach. Told them he hadn't seen him since practice 6-13

Hernandez called her while she was talking to police and told her his agent said she should stop talking, report says.

She went to bed early but Hernandez went out.

Hernandez fiancée very cooperative in this report so far. Talks about how she and Hernandez went out for Father's Day for dinner.

Hernandez on the other hand slammed his door on detectives's faces. Didn't even ask whose death they were investigating, report says.

Very detailed police documents on #hernandez case. Describes how Hernandez fiancée wept when police told her Odin Lloyd had been killed.

--Carlos Ortiz

Documents: Hernandez admitted firing fatal shots

Documents show a man linked to the murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez told police Hernandez admitted firing the fatal shots.

Carlos Ortiz reportedly told Massachusetts investigators that another man, Ernest Wallace, said Hernandez admitted shooting Odin Lloyd in an industrial park near Hernandez’s Massachusetts home.

The documents were filed in court by the Miramar, Fla., police department to justify a search of Wallace’s home in that city.

The documents also say that while investigating Lloyd’s killing, police did searches in Bristol, Conn., that turned up a vehicle wanted in connection with a July 2012 double homicide in Boston.

Police say the vehicle had been rented in the name of Hernandez.

Hernandez’s legal team did not return email messages Tuesday.

Something's fishy about this...

Why would Hernandez admit to Wallace that he killed Lloyd -- and Wallace tell Ortiz who tells the cops -- if both Wallace and Ortiz were with Hernandez the night of the killing???

And who were these guys?

Prosecutors say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz drove with Lloyd in a rented Nissan Altima to the industrial park where Lloyd was fatally shot.

Ortiz told police that during the drive Hernandez told Lloyd that Lloyd had been "chilling" with people Hernandez had problems with, the documents say. But Ortiz told police the two men shook hands and the problem seemed smoothed over. However, the Altima soon stopped, and everyone but Ortiz got out to urinate, according to Ortiz's account.

The witness told police he then heard gunshots before Hernandez and Wallace got back into the car without Lloyd and the car sped away.

Ortiz said he couldn't see who fired the shots because it was dark. Back at Hernandez's home, Ortiz said, Wallace asked him to get a small gun out from under the driver's seat. Ortiz said he did and gave it to Hernandez once they were inside.

It's funny. For all of the evidence they have collected, including bullets, video with him with gun, gum, etc...there still hasn't been anything, as you said, like the smoking gun.

Indeed, but it kinda shows how brazen Hernandez was. He invited a Ortiz along for a ride and then killed a guy, making Ortiz an accessory to murder and putting his next 25-years-to-life in jeopardy.

I guess Hernandez figured making Ortiz an accessory would keep his mouth shut. Ortiz certainly was not told they were going to do homicide.

Hernandez may have felt untouchable after getting away with shooting so many other people. Dude is a serial killer.

If all goes to script, expect to hear someone has killed/attempted to kill Carlos Ortiz.

Wallace is old(41) and hard. I don't see him flipping on Hernandez, I'm guessing he mentored him.

Ortiz's court appointed lawyer said 1) he didn't have the $1000 to post if bail was only $10,000, and 2) he planned on arguing for bail but required discovery documents before doing so. Next setting for him is August 14.

I wonder if the DA will play a cat-n-mouse game with Ortiz by delaying the opportunity for him to request protective custody until they can secure his cooperation through a deal. Ortiz was described as "afraid, depressed, gentle, confused, and crying". Now is the most dangerous time for him.

Don't need that. You don't even need a body. It doesn't even matter if he actually pulled the trigger or not as long as he was the one responsible for the murder.

If there's enough evidence and it's damning, then he's gone.

Albert Breer of NFL Network has passed along the entire affidavit, and it paints a much more comprehensive picture of what Carlos Ortiz said, and when and where he said it.

Basically, Ortiz said everything he knows.

As of Tuesday, June 25, Ortiz was on probation. He showed up that day for a previously-scheduled meeting with his probation officer. When Ortiz got there, he learned that there was another purpose for that day’s meeting.

Investigators provided Ortiz with the so-called Miranda warnings (“you have the right to remain silent . . .”), and Ortiz nevertheless agreed to speak. Both the video and audio were recorded.

Ortiz said that he and Wallace arrived at Hernandez’s home in North Attleboro just after midnight on June 17, 2013. Hernandez and Shayanna Jenkins weren’t home; a babysitter let Wallace and Ortiz into the home.

Ortiz saw “a small and large handgun” in the home, and when Hernandez returned with Jenkins, Ortiz saw Hernandez “carrying a handgun.”

The three men — Hernandez, Ortiz, and Wallace — left the home at 1:09 a.m., stopping once for gas and then picking up Odin Lloyd and traveling back to North Attleboro.

Ortiz told police that, on the drive back, “he overheard Mr. Hernandez state directly to Mr. Lloyd that he was ‘chilling’ with people that [Hernandez] had problems with.” Ortiz said that Hernandez and Lloyd “made up by ‘shaking hands’ and added that ‘it’ was squashed.”

Ortiz then fell asleep. He woke up when the vehicle stopped, and Ortiz saw the other three men — Hernandez, Wallace, and Lloyd — get out of the car “to urinate.”

Ortiz then heard gunshots.

Hernandez and Wallace got back in to the car “without Mr. Lloyd,” and the vehicle “fled” the scene.

Because he had been asleep and stayed in the car, Ortiz didn’t know who had fired the shots, which makes Monday’s report that Wallace told Ortiz that Hernandez fired the shots now more sensible.

When the vehicle returned to Hernandez’s house, Wallace asked Ortiz to get a small gun located under the rear of the driver’s seat. Ortiz got the gun, carried it inside, and gave it to Hernandez.

Ortiz said that he then went back to sleep.

The affidavit confirms that it was Ortiz who told police about the things Hernandez said to Lloyd in the car, but Ortiz’s version as explained in the affidavit differs from the representations made in court by prosecutor Bill McCauley during Hernandez’s arraignment. For example, McCauley mentioned that Hernandez spoke about not being able to trust anyone, and that Hernandez wasn’t upset about Lloyd “chilling” with people Hernandez had issues with but that Lloyd had actually said something to them that called his trustworthiness in to question. Also, McCauley said nothing about Hernandez and Lloyd making up.

Still, if Ortiz repeats his story in court, it will be very hard to overcome the clear and complete picture it paints. While Hernandez’s lawyers surely will try to paint Ortiz as a liar, the reality is that Hernandez specifically asked Ortiz and Wallace to come to Massachusetts from Connecticut. As a practical matter, Hernandez is pretty much stuck with whatever Ortiz says happened, unless Hernandez and Wallace plan to offer an alternative explanation on the witness stand at trial.

More questionable occurrences prior to the murder.

Police: Aaron Hernandez put in system after break-in attempts
By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
July 13, 2013 10:30 am ET


Aaron Hernandez's in-home security system is a major focus in the investigation into the death of Odin Lloyd. Not only did Hernandez intentionally destroy the system before turning it over to police, but it's believed the system could contain footage critical to the case.

Why did Hernandez have such a complicated security system? According to a police report obtained by the Boston Herald, it was for personal protection -- Hernandez's, fiancee Shayanna Jenkins, told police that "there had been several recent break-in attempts at their residence."

"Shayanna Jenkins further stated that this video surveillance system would allow for the viewing of both the front of their residence as well as the street," the police report reads. "Shayanna Jenkins went on to say that the video surveillance system records and plays the video on their home entertainment system."

There's no telling why Hernandez was, according to his fiancee, the target of multiple break-ins at his house. And it's perhaps telling that he didn't involve the local authorities in the matter of these attempted break-ins (or likely didn't -- surely the police would've known about the alleged break-ins before Jenkins told them if Hernandez had called the cops).

It's even more telling that, according to the police report, Hernandez had a security system expert visit his house in May and show him how to cut off portions of the security system to avoid being recorded.

"He showed Hernandez how to disconnect specific cameras from the recording device," a police report says according to the Herald. "[He] went on to say that he clearly labeled the connections so that Aaron Hernandez could more easily disconnect cameras at locations within his home where and when he wanted to avoid surveillance recordings."

Like almost all the evidence that we've seen in this case, the alleged facts surrounding this police report only present a pile of circumstantial information. But having a series of unreported (?) break-ins that causes you to install a high-powered security system that you get a tutorial on how to shut off at certain times and places ... none of that in and of itself is that damning.

Former teammates of Aaron Hernandez at the University of Florida, the Pouncey twins, Maurkice (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Mike (Miami Dolphins), wore hats apparently supporting the former New England Patriots tight end at a club Saturday night.

Both Maurkice and Mike Pouncey's names were mentioned in a 2007 incident report, released by the Gainesville (Fla.) Police Department, from a double shooting in which investigators had wanted to talk to Hernandez -- but Hernandez invoked his right to counsel.

On TMZ where this picture was first released, they ran a disclaimer that the hats could have been digitally manipulated.

But if indeed the pics are authentic, with the NFL and Goodell watching this Hernandez situation as a terrible embarrassment, the Pouncey brothers should buy another set of caps to wear............one with "DUMB" and the other with "DUMBER"................

Source: Highway search pertains to Aaron Hernandez murder investigation



For the second day in a row, authorities searched an area of 128 South, including the concrete barriers, in connection to the murder investigation involving Aaron Hernandez, a source told FOX 25.

Mass. State Police troopers and officers returned to roughly the same area along Route 95 in Dedham Wednesday to resume their search for something they may not have found Tuesday or possibly for something of value.

According to a law enforcement source, the searches are connected to the murder investigation involving former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez.

Seven investigators were out on the highway between Route 1 and Route 109 in Dedham scouring the area. They walked the shoulder and grass closest to the far left travel lane; however, it was unclear if anything was found.

Authorities believe Hernandez traveled this route on his way back to North Attleboro the night Odin Lloyd was shot and killed. At some time during that trip, authorities suspect a side mirror from Hernandez's rental car came off or was tossed from the vehicle.

Police have not said what they are looking for; however, the Bristol County District Attorney's Office has made two public pleas for help finding the mirror making it clear they want to get their hands on it.

In addition to the mirror, the same law enforcement source said detectives may also be looking for ballistic evidence – evidence that could show a gun was fired from the rental car as it sped down the highway. It is possible authorities could be looking for shell casings or bullets on the ground.

Now they're convening a Grand Jury for the 2012 Murders. Not looking very good for the boy.:kitten:
Case against Hernandez for July 2012 double murder is building momentum

Posted by Mike Florio on July 23, 2013, 8:50 PM EDT


At a time when a grand jury in Bristol County, Massachusetts likely is closing in on an indictment of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez for the June 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, a grand jury in Suffolk County, Massachusetts could likewise indict Hernandez for the July 2012 shooting deaths of Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu.

Two unnamed law-enforcement officials tell Maria Cramer of the Boston Globe that prosecutors have begun making the case to a grand jury that Hernandez should be charged with two more counts of murder.

The process involves evidence only from the prosecution, with no defense presented by Hernandez’s lawyers and a low standard of proof. If the grand jury believes probable cause exists to conclude that Hernandez is guilty, the grand jury can issue an indictment.

Still, few prosecutors seek an indictment unless they believe that the higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt can be met at trial.

Absent testimony from one or more persons who witnessed Hernandez fire the shots that killed Furtado and Abreu, the case against Hernandez will be based on circumstantial evidence. That doesn’t mean he’ll be acquitted; still, it’s always easier to prove the case when there’s a witness who can credibly say that he or she saw the defendant do what he allegedly did.
