Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez to be Questioned

Aaron Hernandez update: NFLPA reportedly will file grievance over bonus money

The Patriots released Aaron Hernandez after he was arrested and charged with murder, but they might still have some money left to pay him.

That is because the NFL Players Association is expected to file a grievance because the Patriots did not pay Hernandez an $82,000 workout bonus that was scheduled to be paid on Aug. 1, according to a report from Fox Sports writer Mike Garafolo.

Hernandez satisfied the requirements to receive the bonus by participating in the Patriots’ offseason workout program this spring. However, the Patriots did not pay Hernandez his check when it was due this month, according to the report.

This could be just the beginning in a battle between the NFLPA and the Patriots, as Hernandez is owed a $3.25 million payment in March — which is the final piece of a $12.5 million signing bonus he was set to receive after signing a contract extension last summer. According the collective bargaining agreement, the Patriots forfeited the right to recoup future signing bonus money when they released him in June.

The battle for Hernandez’s expected $3.332 million will be decided by an arbitrator’s decision — a process that will start soon.

The only thing dumb here is that you have an issue with the NFLPA making a filing in the first place. It is their job to do this and if the Patriots owe him the money per the cba they should pay it no matter what personal opinions/emotions are of the other issues.

Are u kidding me with this BS. He lost that right when he killed that man IMO. The right to freedom, the right to free world luxuries. This is this new soft world BS that is making the NFL flag football, thats making Mcdonalds put warnings about hot coffee every where. Letting people like Casey Anthony walk free.

The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. Not hernandez taketh away. Screw that dude and his so called money. And screw what people think is politically correct. He lost all rights IMO when he took a life, that money can be spent on things better than Hernandez's commissary in the Pen. Give me a ****ing break

You are incorrect. The NFLPA is doing what they should do based on the services Aaron rendered to the Patriots per his contract. The NFLPA should work to get the payment for him and if it is found that payment is due it should go towards whatever Aaron decides with his money, outside of a wrongful death suit

You dont lose all of your right for committing a crime or being accused of committing a crime. This has nothing to do with flag football, you should really read up on the McDonalds coffee case because you show your ignorance on the topic. McDonalds was liable, McDonalds ignored many warnings that its coffee was well beyond the range it should have been and the lady orginally asked for them to just cover her medical bills but they told her to F off, they got it in the end. Also to the Anthony case, it wasnt the system that failed, the system worked and it just wasnt to your liking. Same with the Zimmerman trail

This isnt about being politically correct either and again you are incorrect in saying he lost all his rights. Im not sure how someone can become so far detached from facts and reality but its clear your emotions have overthrown any idea of rational thought

I worked death row for nearly 3 years. And ur talking about governmental law, i dont give a damn about the laws the government has in place. The fact is when he decided to take a life he made the choice to potentially lose his freedom.

Has nothing to do with my emotion. I bet ur against the death penalty too ? I saw a man 3 days from execution who was on the heart transplant list get a heart. 3 days later he was executed. Haha yeah our government laws make so much sense.

Are u kidding me about Mcdonalds ? Did the lady ask for an ice coffee ? NO she wanted a hot coffee, Mcdonalds shouldnt of been liable for jack. This is the modern day sentiment that states noone is liable anymore.

Oh lord i dont get how some people think nowdays. He killed a man he shouldnt get anything, besides life behind bars. Rights, he shouldnt have any rights to anything he had or was going to get before then. UNLESS he is found not guilty. Which i dont see happening, but who knows nowadays with all the brilliance of humanity.

You clearly have never looked into the MCD case. If you would and stop just reading headlines and reacting emotionally you would see MCD had liability in the case.



Interesting you bring up the possible not guilty, seems to me that you have already removed all of his rights instead of letting the trial take place. Even after conviction you dont lose all of your rights. Take your death row heart transplant, if he got his transplant and the day of his execution he received a stay what then? What if they then tossed his conviction? Oh but before anyone is convicted they lose their rights, right? And you arent emotional about it ? :kubepalm:

You really should educate yourself before jumping to a conclusion. McDonald's was the ONLY restaurant around that exceeded industry standard temp and delivered coffee capable of inflecting 3rd degree burns. McDonald's had paid almost 800 prior claims. Most people don't need to be clubbed in the wallet 800 times to learn.

What if they would of over turned the death penalty ? Ok good for him he can live until his heart gives out. Give the good heart to someone who didnt decide to live their life behind bars after killing 6 people. Ohhhhh but thats in humane right ? Haha.

You are refering all to government laws, these are not the laws of humanity. I have lived on the other side, behind bars with these animals so i have seen what its really like.

Wont argue with u about this anymore. Just think they should hold any bonus until the verdict. And if he is guilty he shouldnt get squat.

You wont argue anymore because you cant stay in reality. His contract appears to state if he conducted workouts he gets 80k. If that is true he should be paid even though you feel some outside force should change that
 
I'm certainly not defending Hernandez. I think he's guilty based on what's been leaked, but he has not been proven to be so in the court of law. Until then, it is the duty of NFLPA to treat him as another member and file the grievance as they've done. I have no problem with that whatsoever.

If I'm the Patriots, I make him come and get the money. I'm not writing another check voluntarily.
 
Aaron Hernandez to Appear in Court; Indictment Expected

Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is expected to be formally indicted for the murder of his friend, who was executed less than a mile from the NFL's star's North Attleborough home, ABC News has learned.

Hernandez is scheduled to appear in court for a probable cause hearing this afternoon. But instead of detailing what prosecutors contend is the overwhelming evidence investigators have collected against Hernandez, Bristol County prosecutors will instead officially arraign the former football player. He'll be charged with the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, who was allegedly shot five times execution-style on June 17, several law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Prosecutors pushed to get an indictment before today's hearing, sources said. That is significant because without an indictment Hernandez's lawyers would have likely argued for his release...

Report: Aaron Hernandez was heavy drug user and paranoid

By John Breech | CBSSports.com

August 27, 2013 11:03 pm ET

Since being arrested in June, Aaron Hernandez has written several jailhouse letters and in one of those letters he insisted that he's a 'great dude.' If you have a hard time believing Hernandez is a 'great dude' you're going to have an even harder time after reading new evidence uncovered by Rolling Stone.

In what could turn out to be a bombshell article, the magazine will be publishing a cover story on Hernandez in its October issue. The magazine released a small preview of the story on Tuesday, a preview that will probably make you want to read the entire article.

Here are five revelations from the preview:

•Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust (PCP), and had become so paranoid over the last year that he carried a gun wherever he went.


•He surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters, and cut himself off from his family and teammates.


•Hernandez had so infuriated his head coach, Bill Belichick, with missed practices and thug-life stunts, that he was one misstep from being cut.


•Both his parents, Dennis and Terri, had criminal records, as did much of his extended family.


•Terri allegedly cheated on Dennis before his death with a violent drug dealer named Jeffrey Cummings, then married Cummings after Dennis died and moved him into the house she shared with Aaron.


Although Rolling Stone only promised five revelations, they delivered on a sixth one and the sixth one might be the most damning.

From Rolling Stone:

In college [Hernandez's] coach [then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer] may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents -- an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.
Click to expand...

Unlike the first five revelations though, the magazine doesn't seem as sure about the Meyer revelation, using the word 'MAY have helped' isn't exactly an indictment on Meyer, so it will be definitely be interesting to see what exactly the magazine found to make the connection that Meyer covered-up anything for Hernandez.

Rolling Stone hasn't announced a release date for the Hernandez issue, but it will be on newsstands sometime in September.

I can hardly imagine what MORE will be detailed in the upcoming Rolling Stone piece. :kubepalm::wadepalm:
 
Another interesting part of this will be to see if the Patriots reconsider and pay his 82K workout bonus (that he earned). The NFLPA is digging in.
 
What I gather is that the NFL will catch you if you take adderall but if you take PCP you won't get caught? Interesting...

When I first read this, the first thing that came to mind was how was this missed on ANY NFL drug testing. PCP is included in the most basic of urine drug screens. Even though some sources cite up to 7 days detection for a single use and up to 30 days for a chronic user, the real numbers are in fact quite different. PCP can be detected for 2-3 months after just one use, and up to 6 months after chronic use. This is a drug that is essentially impossible to mask, with the only option left open to the subject is to substitute his urine.

If carrying a gun with you everywhere is a sign of paranoia, then 1/2 the people I know are in need of a psychiatrist.
 
What is PCP?

PCP, or phencyclidine, is a “dissociative” anesthetic that was developed in the 1950s as a surgical anesthetic. Its sedative and anesthetic effects are trance-like, and patients experience a feeling of being “out of body” and detached from their environment. Use of PCP in humans was discontinued in 1965, because it was found that patients often became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects.

...High doses can also cause effects similar to symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions, paranoia, disordered thinking, a sensation of distance from one’s environment, and catatonia. Speech is often sparse and garbled.

You've got the cart before the horse -- the paranoia creates the perceived need to carry a gun. Irrational/delusional thinking + lethal weapon = danger to those around them.

And we're up to at least 4 firearms incidents associated with Hernandez from 17 to 23... that we know of.

Maybe, maybe not. I can't glean that much off of one sentence referencing a "revelation" that is going to be made by someone in the future.

I was being tongue-in-cheek, but the comment did strike me as a little anti-gun.

Exactly my point. The article made it sound like carrying a gun the last year was a sign of paranoia when in reality he has been a gun-toting thug his entire adult life.
 
Rolling Stone--The Gangsta In The Huddle

Aaron Hernandez might have been one of the NFL’s all-time greats, but he could never escape drugs, guns and a life of violence
The first text pinged him around nine that Sunday night: I’m coming to grab that tonight, you gon b around? I need dat and we could step for a little again. For Odin Lloyd, this was bang-up news, proof that his luck had turned around. Aaron Hernandez, the Pro Bowl tight end of the New England Patriots, was coming by later to scoop him up for another five-star debauch, just 36 hours after he’d taken Lloyd out for the wildest ride of his life. All night Friday, they’d kicked it at Rumor, popping bottles and pulling models up the steps of the VIP section of the Boston theater district’s hottest club. “Shit was crazy,” Lloyd told friends the next day at his niece’s dance recital. “The girls were off the chain. We smoked that super-duper and Aaron dropped 10 G’s like it was nothing. We kept rolling past dawn at his big-ass mansion, then he tossed me the keys to his Suburban.”

Big doings for a semipro football player and underemployed landscape helper, though there, too, fortune smiled on Lloyd, 27. He’d just gotten word that he’d have shifts all week, his first steady hours in some time. And now he was about to burn it down again with Hernandez, the $40 million man with the restless streak and a bottomless taste for chronic. The problem, Lloyd said, was it didn’t end there with Hernandez and his how-high crew: “Them boys is into way worse shit than herb.”

How much worse? About as bad as it gets, say longtime family friends. In exclusive conversations with Rolling Stone, those friends, who insisted they not be named, say Hernandez was using the maniacal drug angel dust, had fallen in with a crew of gangsters and convinced himself that his life was in danger, carrying a gun wherever he went. Sources close to the tight end add that throughout the spring, when players are expected to be preparing themselves for the marathon NFL season, Hernandez had missed workouts and sessions with a rehab trainer, and had been told by his head coach, Bill Belichick, that he was one misstep from being cut...

Click to expand...

Playoffs, you're absolutely right.

Forgot all about Senylan. In the mid 70's, I would be called on to perform occasional reconstructive surgery on some of the injured New Orleans Zoo animals. It was used as a human dissociative anesthetic like, if you have heard of, a drug called Ketamine that is still used today. But Senylan was strictly a veterinary anesthetic. The way it worked, like Ketamine, was that patients felt the pain, but forgot having pain a second after they experienced it. This went on for as long as the surgery lasted. It did not have any use in large medical center environments except for research. Actually after its use was discontinued because of horrendous post anesthetic effects on animals beyond its unique anesthesia, it was actually produced by the manufacturer in small quantities, sort of under the radar of the FDA, for certain limited institutions and research purposes, though somehow finding it's way mostly into the hands of the non-medical, non-veterinary population for recreational use. The FDA finally caught wind of the latter and put an end to the manufacturer's production, I believe, somewhere near the end of the 70's. The street formulas took over after that.

Maybe. It looked like his dad realized his mistakes and when he had kids really tried to turn 'em around, make sure they didn't end up like him, and succeeded with Aaron's older brother. Too many tragic things happened to that family.
 
"I saw Bill today and asked, 'Did Aaron ever tell you his life was in danger?' He's like, 'Absolutely not,' " Kraft said. "If a player had told Bill that his life was in danger, Bill would say, 'We're calling (security chief) Mark Briggs, we're calling the authorities.' His response wouldn't be, 'We're going to get a safe house and you're going to lie low.' I know Bill, that's not what he would say."

Kraft also said Belichick never threatened to cut Hernandez if he slipped up one more time.

"If we had known what people seem to think what we know about Aaron Hernandez, we would not have done that deal (the five-year, $40 million extension he signed last year), and Bill would never threaten a player with being cut 12 months down the road," Kraft said. "It makes no sense both in terms of how you're interacting with the player and in terms of the (salary) cap."

The screws are finally being turned.

Grand jury indicts Aaron Hernandez’s fiancee
Posted by Mike Florio on September 27, 2013, 3:15 PM EDT

Prosecutors have believed that Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancee of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, engaged in “overt attempts to hide evidence . . . and to hinder and mislead” their investigation into the murder of Odin Lloyd.

A grand jury now agrees. Via the Boston Globe, Jenkins has been indicted for perjury.

The grand jury also indicted Hernandez’s cousin, Tanya Singleton, on charges of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact. She had been jailed on contempt of court charges after refusing to testify before the grand jury.

Carlos Ortiz, who previously faced weapons charges, has been indicted as an accessory after the fact. The weapons charges have been dropped.

The charge against Jenkins means that she lied under oath. Which likely means that prosecutors believe she lied when testifying before the grand jury.

The news charges will serve to put increased pressure on persons who have collateral roles in the case, with the hope that someone will provide clear and persuasive testimony or evidence that can be used to convict Hernandez for murder.

Good. I missed the latest news.

I'm guessing the prosecutor will leverage jail time for Ahern's fiancé against a plea. We will see if he's a man or a mouse when it comes to family - women - going to prison on his behalf.

I'd throw them all in the calaboose and lose the key.

OH $HIT! YOU MEAN I LEFT ONE ALIVE?!




Witness claims Aaron Hernandez pulled trigger in 2012 Boston double shooting
October 02, 2013

A man who survived a 2012 shooting in Boston that killed two people has claimed that then-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was the man who pulled the trigger.

The man, who asked that his identity be kept secret out of concern for his safety, made the claim in an interview with WFXT television in Boston, and said he recognized Hernandez as the man who fatally shot two of his friends in July 2012 after the former NFL star was arrested this past June for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

The man claimed that the shooting occurred shortly after 2 a.m., the time when the Boston nightclub where they'd spent most of the evening closed its doors. The men were waiting at a red light when an SUV pulled up alongside them and a voice shouted "What's up, Negroes?" before the shooting began.

"Things happened so fast. I was trying to defend myself," the witness said in the interview. "They were shooting everywhere inside the car, front to back. They just came to kill. That's it."

The driver of the car the men were in, Danny Abreu, was killed, as was a passenger, Safiro Furtado. Both men were Cape Verdean immigrants, as is the witness.

"When I see (Hernandez's) face, I just recognize his face. Compare his face that night to his face now. It's that face that I remember," he said.

The word of the witness is not the only evidence police have that Hernandez was involved in the shooting, which occurred just months after he caught one of two touchdown passes thrown by Tom Brady in New England's 21-17 Super Bowl 46 loss to the New York Giants. Investigators believe Hernandez was at the same nightclub where the victims were the night of the shooting. MyFoxBoston.com reports that surveillance footage shows Hernandez in the same area as the victims.

Also, court documents show investigators found a silver SUV with Rhode Island license plates wanted in connection with the Boston shooting during a June search of a Bristol, Conn. house frequented by Hernandez's relatives and friends. According to the documents, the vehicle was rented in Hernandez's name.

A gun believed to be used in the 2012 murders was found in June of this year in the trunk of a car driven by Jailene Diaz Ramos that crashed. Diaz Ramos is also from Bristol, Hernandez's hometown.

MyFoxBoston.com also reports that investigators believe Hernandez's former right-hand man, Alexander Bradley, may have been in the car with Hernandez the night of the Boston murders.

Bradley is currently suing Hernandez, saying that the former football player shot him in the face after a night at a Florida strip club this past February.

Bradley was supposed to testify last month before the Suffolk County grand jury investigating the Boston murders, but did not appear. A warrant is currently out for his arrest.

Why didnt he tell the police who the shooter was the day it happened? Hernandez' face was all over television during January football. Sounds like someone trying to get paid to me.

This Alexander Bradley strikes me as a particular ignoramus. Hernandez shot him in the face and drove to an industrial area of Miami to dump his body leaving him to die. He lives disfigured from bullet to the head but does no report the crime. Later sues. And now no-shows the grand jury.

Prisons were built for dumbazzes like Bradley. If he lives long enough.

Aaron Hernandez fiancee pleads not guilty to perjury charge in Odin Lloyd murder case

In court on Tuesday Mr Bomberg said that the day after Mr Lloyd was killed, [Shayanna] Jenkins, at the request of Hernandez, retrieved a box from the basement of the home she shared with Hernandez in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, put it in a trash bag, covered it with baby clothes and drove away with it.

Jenkins repeatedly told grand jurors she threw the box in a dumpster but couldn't recall where, according to Mr Bomberg.

Jenkins, who has turned up to support Hernandez at his court hearings, also allegedly denied asking her maids to sign non-disclosure agreements after Mr Lloyd's death, the Courant reported.

The maids, who reported seeing guns at the house, later testified before the grand jury that Jenkins did ask them to sign documents, copies of which have been submitted as evidence, Mr Bomberg said.
