After putting out 4 posts in the span of about 2 and a half days on this subject, I haven't written anything on the Aaron Hernandez situation in about 5 days. Why: because there really hasn't been anything definitive to report.
Back on the 21st of June, it was reported that a warrant for the arrest of Hernandez had been issued yet mere hours later, that report was forcefully shot down as the local police denied allegations that Hernandez had been charged with "obstruction of justice"
Nevertheless after 5 days of continued searching and a few various confiscations of evidence, the news surrounding this case blew up as just before 9 am this morning, 5 police officers marched up to the front door of Hernandez' 1.7 million dollar home ringing his buzzer doorbell once before waiting about 5 minutes with no answer from Hernandez. After buzzing the home once again, Hernandez finally came to the door and appeared surprised at the police’s presence as he had no shirt on.
Officers walked into the home handcuffing Hernandez' all before he emerged from the home now with a shirt on and was placed inside the confinement of one of the black police sedans in his driveway.
Yet less than 2 hours later perhaps the most current piece of news was made. Exactly 90 minutes after the arrest, a statement released on the Patriots website stated the shocking truth that after being drafted deep in the 4th round the star Patriots tight end has been released from the team’s roster simply because "it is the right thing to do".
At this point in time, the charges presented against Hernandez have not been named as he is still yet to be arraigned and is expected to be brought to local court at some point in either the next hour or early afternoon.
Hernandez was brought into this situation about 9 days ago after a teenage jogger reported finding the bloodied body of a 27 year old semi pro football player who was later identified as a man named Odin Lloyd. As more and more news came out regarding the death, the situation was ruled a homicide, and it was made evident that Hernandez had been drinking with Lloyd the night of his death.
Hernandez was signed to a 5 year 40 million dollar contract last August.
