Aaron Hernandez, persona non grata in Boston and nationwide, just solidified his position as a scumbag in the public eye. Currently on trial for the murder of his associate Odin Lloyd, Hernandez is also charged with a double homicide that took place in 2012. While his lawyers scramble to put up road blocks for the prosecutors, like trying to suppress cell phone records as evidence, men's style magazine GQ has named Hernandez the second sleaziest person in sports behind racist former NBA owner Donald Sterling.
Aaron Hernandez definitely has the right people on the job because those slippery litigators are really good at finding and attacking loopholes. Any improper procedure in the investigations, most especially in the gathering of evidence, will likely be found and exploited by Hernandez' defense attorneys (via ABC News):
"The judge last month granted Hernandez's request to suppress evidence from two other cellphones and three iPads taken from his home because they weren't listed in a search warrant. In July, she rejected a defense request to suppress evidence from his home surveillance cameras."
It sure would be hard to convict Hernandez without any evidence. Hopefully the cops followed at least some procedures correctly over the course of the investigation.
Outside of the courtroom, Hernandez' guilt seems incontrovertible. GQ recently published a list of the biggest sleazebags in sports, and Aaron Hernandez made it to number two after a series of violent incidents and being accused of at least three murders (via Boston Globe):
"But No. 2 is former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who's no longer playing sports because he's sitting in jail accused of three murders."
Oh, well. He may not be playing organized sports, but they have hoops and weightlifting in jail, no?
