>> FORMER NFL STAR AARON HERNANDEZ WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS
PRISON CELL TODAY.
THERE HE IS.
IS AT THE END OF A LONG SORDID
TALE THAT INVOLVES MURDER AND SPORTS.
HERE IS THE FULL
TIMELINE.
IN 2012 HE SIGNED A FIVE-YEAR $40 MILLION CONTRACT
WITH THE PATRIOTS.
IN 2013 HE WAS CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF
ODIN LLOYD.
THE PATRIOTS THEN RELEASED HIM FROM HIS CONTRACT.
THEN IN MAY 2014 HE WAS CHARGED WITH TWO MURDERS.
IN APRIL 2015
HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF THE LLOYD CASE AND SENTENCED TO LIFE
WITHOUT PAROLE.
FRIDAY HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY IN THE
ADDITIONAL TWO DRIVE-BY MURDERS, AND THEN HE WAS FOUND DEAD IN
HIS CELL TODAY.
>>I GOT CONFUSED BEFORE SO I'M GLAD YOU DID IT.
BAEZ IS HINTING THAT THIS IS MURDER.
>>YES,
HIS ATTORNEY WILL INVESTIGATE THE DEATH FOR HIS FAMILY.
>>AS MY QUITE FREQUENT CRITICISM OF ALEX JONES TELLS YOU, BUT
FROM TIME TO TIME THERE ARE
THINGS THAT ARE COVER UPS.
THE ONE
PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT IT
WAS A SUICIDE IS THAT HE TRIED TO BAR PEOPLE FROM ENTERING BY
BARRICADING THE DOOR FROM THE
INSIDE.
THAT IS SOLID EVIDENCE IT WAS A SUICIDE.
HIS FAMILY
MEMBERS AND FRIENDS SAY HE WAS NOT REMOTELY SUICIDAL.
HE WAS
BLOWING KISSES TO HIS DAUGHTER
IN THE COURTROOM.
I WOULD JUST DO A SUPER INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION.
I AM ALWAYS SKEPTICAL THAT GUYS WANT TO HANG THEMSELVES.
>>IT IS NOT UNHEARD OF.
WE CAN'T REALLY SAY WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
BUT
WE DO NEED IT TO BE FAIR.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT HAS HAPPENED
SO MUCH THAT IT WOULDN'T BE
CREDIBLE WITHOUT THAT.
>> IN THIS CASE I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY SUCH ALLEGATION.
REMEMBER PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD
HAVE FRIENDS.
AGAIN TOTAL SPECULATION HERE.
BUT HE GETS
ACQUITTED OF THAT CRIME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WANTS IT THAT
AFTERWARDS IS IT FRIENDS OF THE
DECEASED?
I'M NOT TAKING THE AUTHORITIES WORD FOR IT 100%.
>> FOR ME THE WHOLE STORY IS JUST THE EPIC SHAKESPEAREAN
NATURE OF SOMEONE WHO SIGNED A
DEAL FOR $40 MILLION.
IT IS THE FALL OF IT ALL GOT FOR HIM TO BE
FOUND GUILTY IN A SEPARATE CASE, HE IS AT THE LOWEST POINT YOU
CAN IMAGINE.
AND THEN TO HAVE IT REACH THAT LOW AND GET TO THE
POINT WHERE HE IS EXONERATED, I
HAVE NO STAKE IN THIS GAME IT IS
JUST A STRANGE FEELING.
>>I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ñ
>> TODAY THE PATRIOTS WERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> MAYBE HE KNOWS THAT AND HE GOT DEPRESSED OVER THAT.
WE
DON'T KNOW.
IT IS EASY FOR US TO JUDGE AARON HERNANDEZ GIVEN HIS
CONVICTION ON MURDER.
LITERALLY SOCIETY HAS JUDGED HIM.
I READ A
LITTLE BIT INTO HOW HE GREW UP.
HE GREW UP UNDER TERRIBLE
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT AFFECTED
WHO HE WAS.
ALL I'M SAYING IS YOU MIGHT'VE REACTED DIFFERENTLY
TO THE $40 MILLION.
I WOULD OF BEEN LIKE I NEVER WANT TO GET IN
TROUBLE AGAIN.
>> I WOULD HAVE TO BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON TO
BE A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE.
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME WOULD HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT.
>>FOR HIM, HE HAD A DIFFERENT REACTION TO THAT SITUATION.
THAT IS WHY IT IS HARD FOR US TO RELATE.
EITHER WAY HE HAS PASSED AWAY.
>> IF YOU WERE IN PRISON CONVICTED OF SOMETHING WHAT YOU
THINK ABOUT IT AND ENDED IT?
>>NEVER.
>>I DON'T KNOW, IT IS HARD TO SAY BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN
THERE.
I'M SURE YOU GET VERY DEPRESSED AND FEEL LIKE THE
WORLD IS CONSPIRING AGAINST YOU.
>> LET ME BE CLEAR, IF ANYONE SAYS I COMMITTED SUICIDE IT IS
NOT TRUE.
ONE I AM GENERALLY A HAPPY GUY.
SECOND OF ALL, EVEN
UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES MY
ANSWER IS HELL NO.
I DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
