Aaron Hernandez just killed himself.

[LisaM]

I don't even like the guy and I am in shock.

1. Same.

[amuse bouche]

2. Just read that on HP.

He stupidly went down the wrong path. Such a wasted life.

He was mad talented on the field. 27 years old

3. What an end to a cluster fuck

He was a thug but I'm not dancing on his grave. Plenty others will do that

[CanSocDem]

4. Life in professional sports,

...short, brutal and way beyond the joy of our backyard games. The elephants in the room are steroids and concussions.

Oh yeah, and the corporate 'culture' of professional sports.

5. I think it's beyond the obvious.

I am not defending him, but he was just cleared of some other charges, then left alone to commit suicide in a jail cell? Something is off.

[JonLP24]

6. I was thinking the same thing

Plus I could see prison officials looking to dodge a homicide investigation they likely aren't going to solve but I have no idea.

7. Casey Anthony's lawyer got him off these charges and planned on appealing

his current sentence, so this is a bit shocking.

[joeybee12]

8. Agree

The acquittal made his appeal stringer. But I doubt we'll ever know for sure.
