Patriots release Aaron Hernandez...Charged W/ Murder

[Steve]

I don't know anything about the legal side, but normally you would need to have a gun to prove that the person had anything to do with the murder weapon. Now they have a picture of a .45 caliber Glock in his hands at about the same time as the murder, bullets in the victim, with the distinctive 8 groove rifling from a Glock, and the knowledge that Hernadez was destroying evidence. Seems like, with the other evidence, they might have a good case. Normally, you (a reasonable person, not a lawyer) might argue that even a guy owns the right model of gun, was it stolen, or somewhere else at the time, there could be some doubt. But now, he is on tape with it, so that argument doesn't really work (at least to a reasonable person), since he has it in his hand.

Maybe not, but that along with a lot of other evidence is starting to become pretty damning.

I find it ridiculous that this moron took a picture with a glock and supposedly uses that same weapon to commit murder. That there is a potential double homicide connection just blows my mind.

They still don't seem to have the smoking gun, but at this point I doubt they even need it with all the surveillance they have supposedly.

Pats offering free exchanges on Hernandez jerseys

Posted by Darin Gantt on June 28, 2013, 3:35 PM EDT

Not only are the Patriots no longer selling Aaron Hernandez jerseys. They’re offering to take yours back if you bought one before he was arrested for murder.

The team announced they would exchange any Hernandez jerseys purchased from the team store or online for “a new Patriots jersey of comparable value.” The exchange policy has a number of provisions, and is only good during the weekend of July 6-7.

“We know that children love wearing their Patriots jerseys, but may not understand why parents don’t want them wearing their Hernandez jerseys anymore,” team spokesperson Stacey James said. “We hope this opportunity to exchange those jerseys at the Patriots ProShop for another player’s jersey will be well received by parents.”

The league has already scrubbed his stats off their website, and anything the Patriots can do to make anyone forget they were ever a part of this, they’re going to do.

The offer only applies to in-stock merchandise, and not custom orders, so if you want to trade in for a Tim Tebow, we’d advise getting there early

Chargers should do that with Ryan Mathews jerseys.

What about Ryan Leaf? Or did they all get burned?

No market for junkies.

I remember checking Hernandez's stats page on NFL.com right after he was arrested and the stats were innaccessible then, they took them down quick.

Pretty cool idea by the Patriots. I will give it to them, they know how to be a good organization overall.

Also, I know the dude looks extremely guilty but with how our justice system is supposed to work should not major organizations not jump to conclusions and be patient about the whole ordeal? Just a thought.

Hernandez is no longer about guilty or not guilty.

But rather, level of guilt

He AND his two buddys ALL pled not guilty so it will come out. Both were on the lamb one in Florida, the other at Hernadez uncles house...
