Former Patriots tight-end Aaron Hernandez has been found guilty in the killing of 27-year old Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player and the former boyfriend of Hernandez’s fiancee’s sister.
The murder took place on June 17, 2013 when Lloyd was shot half a dozen times less than a mile away from the former Patriots star’s home. At the time of the murder, Hernandez boasted a $40 million contract with the Patriots. The team released Hernandez less than two hours after the former tight-end was retrieved from his home in handcuffs by police in late June of the same year.
