I guess it's different when you know his story. But in my eyes a killer is a killer no matter what his day job.

And again everyone knows that, and as others have said it's not about feeling bad for him, more the story and all the lives affected by the trouble he created.

Selfish thing to do to his family, I feel bad for them, especially the child, though in time I'm sure she will get over it somewhat with help from family and therapy.
Got no love for the thug life though. If you can't do the time you shouldn't do the crime.

Terrible ending.

Such wasted talent, too. He wasn't some over hyped player and I bet he would have eventually been a rock star. All those millions down the toilet, too. This shows that when your support network is replaced with bad individuals, fame and glory mean nothing.

Good riddance? The guy killed multiple people yet I see sympathy for him here. I don't see how this is any different from the manhunt guy who killed himself yesterday.

Yeah he was a piece of shit gangbanger that killed people not even connected. Bye.gif as far as I'm concerned.

Sooo that same sentiment should go for anyone who goes off the deep end kills people. They all have families they all made a bad decision and those other stories could have been avoided.

I'm not dying on this hill but.. a piece of shit is a piece of shit.
Good riddence.

I mean, is anyone saying other families shouldn't also get sympathy? My offering of sympathy for his family isn't taking it away from another. Like, at all.

Not really, he killed Lloyd because he (Lloyd) got drunk and told people that Hernandez was involved in a double murder, this motive still holds up regardless of whether or not Hernandez was found to have committed the previous murders.

Motive is not required for a murder conviction
Intent to kill is different from motive
The double murder was not part of the prosecution's argument for the Lloyd murder

Kirk and Callahan has a friend of Hernandez saying he spoke to him and he did it because of the homosexuality rumors.

The phone call was probably recorded and will most likely leak in some way.

Totally unverified, but they seem to trust this "Rabbit" guy.

The man who was sentenced to life and acted smug about it in court for four years finally decided to kill himself because someone called him gay?

Yeah, that sounds like the kind of bullshit that should be expected from that racist, sexist, Trump-supporting morning show.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot that the show is also homophobic.

He wasn't going to skate on the Lloyd murder. Yeah, he dodged those other two but life without parole is life without parole. He was gonna spend the next 50 years or so in prison either way. That's gotta weigh on a younger dude who goes in.

Him crying after being acquitted and seeing his daughter cry probably set him off. That was an ugly acquittal last week.

He was a murdering piece of shit, who got his wife to lie for him and was living the life of a gangster.

Don't forget that just because he was really good at catching the ball.

Still a chance. The double murder acquittal removed the intent from the Lloyd case I believe.
Click to expand...

The prosecution wasn't allowed to mention the double murder at the Lloyd case in the first place. It played no part in the trial. They didn't need it with the wealth of physical and recorded evidence anyway. He was never going to get out of prison.

First thing that popped in my head. Even though he was sentenced to life without parole, his family could still visit him right? his baby daughter could've still visited him through out her childhood right?

He should've manned up and made the best of what ever shitty life he got himself into. If anything, for his family.

I don't know the rules...but he took the easy way out of the fucked up life he chose to have.

That's because it is. There is no validity to that show. It's a morning zoo sports show with a history of making their own homophobic comments and a host who sends out anti-Muslim, pro-Trump tweets while re-tweeting Ann Coulter and James Woods.

Hard to imagine the "what could have been" when the Patriots still went on to win a Super Bowl but I believe they could have won one more with him opposite of Gronk.

Same. Talented or not, he's a murderer and a piece of shit. No sympathy.

The victims families are who to feel sorry for.

anyone with common sense would recognize that a family would be BETTER OFF without a murderer in their midst. all the crazy shit he's done over the years, who knows how abusive he was to them.
Click to expand...

Right. That doesn't mean you can't still feel bad for the family because THEY still love him and are likely feeling the biggest heartbreak of their lives.

Yes, Hernandez is trash. No, he doesn't deserve sympathy.

But you asked why people feel bad for the family, it was explained to you and you then ignored it and nonsensically replied with a weird "Why would you feel bad for him?" despite no one replying to you with that.

The acquittal last week was literally the first piece of good news this guy has gotten in almost four years. It was a massive win. It meant he now actually had a shot at getting out of jail.

But now he kills himself? I don't understand this one.

Was thinking the same thing, but I'm not just jumping down no rabbit holes.

There is more to this story, the guy had a legit shot of getting out after the double murder acquittal.

He was never getting out. The Lloyd case wasn't getting overturned and he had gun charges that were going to add more time to his already life without parole sentence.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Well I feel bad for those around him but this guy sounded terrible through and through and for the longest of times. We're most likely better off with a dude who killed people for such stupid petty reasons.

How the fuck was he allowed bed sheets and a window? You don't give a dude bed sheets when he's given life. Your just asking him to off himself.
