driveway and three people get out, and odin lloyd isn t one of them. jurors see video of the crime scene, and odin lloyd s bullet-riddled body. a lab scientists shows jurors lloyd s shirt with bullet holes and blood. an investigator testifies that impressions he made of the altima tires match tracks found at the scene. did you show the jury the overlay? after hernandez returns the rented altima, the afternoon of the murder, the manager on duty makes a startling discovery. i found a piece of chewed blue gum, and i looked up and saw what i thought was a bullet. that s the type of gum purchased by hernandez hours
a week later what say you, madam foreperson? guilty of murder in the first degree. aaron hernandez is found guilty of murdering odin lloyd. his mother and fiancee weep, but he shows no visib reaction. i raised my hand and said, thank you, jesus. my baby can finally rest in peace. we came to the conclusion that he did have a part in it. jurors tell cnn their decision wasn t easy, but, for them, the circumstantial evidence was convincing. aaron was the only one who knew where he lived, who drove the car, who drove home. they got out of the car. we saw the video. like nothing happened. four of them were in the car. three of them came back to the house. it s horrible.
would give odin lloyd money to buy marijuana. cnn obtained his photograph of a stack of blunts, said to be made of marijuana supplied by hernandez. sources tell cnn aaron hernandez also used angel dust and that could have made him paranoid. one says he felt he was a target, that people were coming after him. the combination of those drugs, depending on the long-term use of the drugs and the amount of drugs could cause someone to become violent, could cause someone to become very paranoid, could cause someone to overreact to a situation, appear to be more impulsive. his one-time buddy, bradley, describes odd behavior. he said he was being followed. that kind of behavior doesn t describe the aaron hernandez many remember growing up in bristol, connecticut, where his family was celebrated as a local sports dynasty.
over the next several days, investigators search his home and cars, removing bags of possible evidence, including hernandez s cell phone, but a law enforcement source says it s badly cracked, possibly intentionally, before it was handed over. june 26th, 2013, nine days after the murder of odin lloyd, hernandez is arreste the charges, first-degree premeditated murder and having illegal weapons. his plea? not guilty. and he s no longer a new england patriot. i and other members of the organization were shocked and disappointed. hernandez is canned before he reaches the courthouse. mr. hernandez is charged with a very serious crime, but that shouldn t be enough to hold him without bail. and he s staying in jail. his attempts at bail denied. i think the commonwealth presented a case that s circumstantial to be sure, but very, very strong.
they believe aaron hernandez killed odin lloyd, but they still have a big unanswered question. is there anything that, if you had the chance, you would want to ask aaron hernandez yourself? why. why did you do it? but why never had to be proven. people continue to ask, this is a young man who had it all, why would he do something like this? just by the fact that you have money and opportunity does not mean that you have character. so, yes, he had a lot, but he didn t have it all. nor the victim s mother says, did he have much feeling for her pain when the jury wasn t around. i felt like he was taunting me. why would you be always looking at the victim s mother? and smiling? he smiled at you. he smiled. he kept laughing, you know.
