How entitled, arrogant and stupid do you have to be to do what Aaron Hernandez [View all]
is charged with doing?
The prosecution in its first degree murder charge against the former NFL star tight end, alleges that the motive for the execution style murder of semi-pro player Odin Lloyd, was that Hernandez was angered by Lloyd speaking to certain people at a nightclub a couple of nights before Lloyd was murdered.
Hernandez was wealthy, physically talented and young. He inked a deal with the New England Patriots in 2012 worth $40 million dollars. He has an infant daughter.
The evidence may be largely circumstantial but it's pretty substantial. It includes the tracking of Hernandez' movements via his cell phone, text messages from the victim moments prior to his death and incriminating video and audio just prior to the crime. Hernandez, it is alleged had two accomplices and they are shown/heard on the aforementioned video and audio evidence.
Did the fact that he was a star on one of the most prominent teams in a wildly popular sport and very wealthy lead him to believe he was untouchable? Or is just unbelievably stupid? Because this has to be one of the worst planned crimes I've ever heard of.
