1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Breaking news, very sad and very strange. The former NFL

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: player Aaron Hernandez has killed himself inside his prison cell

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts this morning. Hernandez was found hanged with a

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: bed sheet on the window area of his cell. That

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old former Patriots player was just acquinted

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: of a double murder last week, but he was serving

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: a life sentence for a separate murder. Prosecutors had argued

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: that Hernandez felt he was disrespected after one of the

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: men spilled a drink on him at a nightclub. This

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: is current Stories with Nancy Grace. Hernandez a New England Patriot,

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: former Florida Gator drafted out of Florida by the Patriots

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: before that. He's from Bristol, Connecticut. Once a star tight

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: end for the New England Patriots, Hernandez has already served

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: two years of a life sentence in the two thousand

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: thirteen killing of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was found hanged with

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: a bed sheet on the window area of his cell.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: He was a football star. He was one of the

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: brightest and the best, and now Erin Hernandez is dead.

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: But not only was he a football star, he was

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: a murderer, I believe many times over. Erin Hernandez reportedly

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: hung himself behind bars on the very same day he

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: was scheduled to go to the White House with all

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: of his team members. Had he been on the team

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: that won the Super Bowl? But no, he didn't make it.

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: And this after a not guilty in court on two

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: of the murders. This is crime stories. I Nancy Grace,

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. How could such a

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: bright future have gone so badly wrong? How could it

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: all go so sideways for Erin Hernandez. What we are

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: learning is that Erin Hernandez committed suicide immediately following to

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: not guilty verdicts on double murders with a sheet in

32
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: his cell by using the window. There was a window

33
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: in his cell. And we are learning that he had

34
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: written John three sixteen across his forehead, which we all

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: know is for God, so love the world. He gave

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall

37
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: not perish, but have everlasting life. That's what John three

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: sixteen says. I believe it does anyway, I'm doing that

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. Alan, have you researched it?

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: Are you sure that's what it says it does? You

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: and I both being Methodists from Georgia, we used the

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: King James version back when we were kids, and that's

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: exactly the version that I that I memorized. I mean,

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: this guy, had he not taken a path of crime

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and murder and brutality in his life, would have been

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: at the White House today meeting with the President and

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the rest of his team members. But everything went so wrong.

48
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Let me first address the suicide. Okay, what do we

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: know about that, Alan, Well, we know he used a

50
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: bed sheet, of course, tied around his neck and then

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: tied the other end to something of a window in

52
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: his cell. He also used whatever possessions he had in

53
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: the small single bed cell to block the doorway, perhaps

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: to give him a little bit more time to die.

55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: It was about three fifteen this morning when a guard

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: doing a check noticed that he was in there in

57
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: that situation. They took him to a hospital and an

58
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: hour later, Aaron Hernandez was pronounced dead. He was discovered

59
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: in his cell by correctional officers at the SUSA Baronowski

60
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Correctional Center that since Shirley, Massachusetts. As Alan just said,

61
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: around three am and it was just another twist and

62
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: turn and shock in the life and the story that

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: was Aaron Hernandez a guy that was incredibly talented, and

64
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: along with his father, he really pushed him. He would

65
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: make him practice football hours and hours before he could

66
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: go out with friends or do anything else. Aaron Hernandez

67
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: was set to be a success, but then when his

68
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: father died unexpectedly from complications from a routine surgery, everything

69
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: went sideways. The first thing he did was he got

70
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: to college and he was embroiled in a drama there.

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: There was a an incident where somebody was sucker punched

72
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: and he was part of that. Then there was another

73
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: incident where a gun was pulled. He was part of that.

74
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: He managed to get through college without ever having a

75
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: felony record, but then man alan what happened after that.

76
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: He was at the University of Florida, a Gator playing

77
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: with Tim Tebow. Got into plenty of trouble there, but

78
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: he managed to survive it long enough to go to

79
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. But before the NFL would take him, the

80
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Patriots had some conditions. They were a little bit reluctant.

81
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: They knew he was talented and knew he could be

82
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: a star, but they didn't know if he could behave

83
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: well enough to be on their team. And he swore

84
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: that he would. He swore that he wouldn't even agree

85
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: to buy. Was it bi monthly or bi weekly? Pot tests? Regularly? Yes,

86
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: regular regular drug tests to make sure that he wasn't

87
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: using although now we know in hindsight he was a

88
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: regular smoker of marijuana, had it in his house, had

89
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it apparently. And now just before he

90
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: commits suicide, he's found not guilty on two counts of

91
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: murder for killing two men in a drive by shooting

92
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: outside of Boston nightclub. Now that was in two thousand

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: and twelve. Now it's kind of you need a flow

94
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: chart for Aaron Hernandez. Yeah, the two thousand twelve double murders.

95
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: And then you have the murder of own Lloyd, his friend.

96
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Now Lloyd murder, as I recall, was in two thousand

97
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: thirteen June two. Many people believe, including police, that he

98
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: really killed own Lloyd because Lloyd knew about these two

99
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: thousand twelve murders. He faced eight counts in all, two

100
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: of murder, three of armed assault, charges of witness intimidation

101
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: for allegedly shooting his former friend in the face in

102
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: an attempt to silence him. He was only found guilty

103
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: of one count of illegal possession of a firearm, and

104
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: as he died, he is dying an innocent man, believe

105
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: it or not, due to a twist in the law

106
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: that says, if you are not alive at the time

107
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: your case, even though it's a murder case, is appealed,

108
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: then it's vacated and you are innocent. So under the law,

109
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: he died an innocent man. So the two thousand thirteen

110
00:06:54,040 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: killing are Odin Lloyd, who was Erin Hernandez's fiance's sister boyfriend.

111
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: In other words, a potential brother in law. I mean,

112
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of the connection there, because Aaron Hernandez and

113
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: oh Lloyd were dating sisters. That's how he became friendly

114
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: with Lloyd. It's just to say it was always the

115
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: same m O with her Nandez. He would go out

116
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: to a nightclub, get a few drinks in and pull

117
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: a gun and pal shoot. Now, the night of this scenario,

118
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the two shootings, prosecutor's case was light on forensics, that's true,

119
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 1: and they relied heavily on testimony from a guy named

120
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Bradley who was with her Nandez during the last two shootings.

121
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Not Lloyd, Okay, Bradley had immunity juries, never like that.

122
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: But based on what was put together, they had been

123
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: in a nightclub, two guys passed him, and one accidentally

124
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: not to drink out of his hand onto the dance

125
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: floor and did not apologize, just smiled and didn't apologize,

126
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: and that made her Nandez so mad that he goes

127
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: out to the car and gets a gun out of

128
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: the engine block. Come on, now, that's some gangster right there, Alan,

129
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: When you hide a gun in your engine block. Hello,

130
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean I've never even done I've never even done that. Well,

131
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: of course you haven't. Okay, you're not in a gang

132
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: and you're living the good lies in your fancy luxury

133
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: high rise in Hollywood. Okay, So no, you do not

134
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: have your gun hidden in your engine block. Even my

135
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: redneck thug days back in Georgia, I never hit my

136
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: gun in the engine block. I used to wear them

137
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: maybe on a holster, in the leg or in the

138
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: small amount. That's just so you okay, Well, yeah, so

139
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Nandez hides his gun, his engine block and Bradley

140
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: describes him taking it out. They pull up beside the victims.

141
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: The testimony is he took pleasure in what he did

142
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: that night. The lead prosecutor said he wanted his victims

143
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: to see it coming. They were in her nandez vehicle.

144
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: It was her Nandez's gun, and Bradley says that he

145
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: reached out and shot. It was essentially a drive by.

146
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: They were actually on the street and pulled up alongside

147
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: the car, then out. In a February night two thousand thirteen,

148
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Hernandez then shoots Bradley between the eyes and leaves him

149
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: in a parking lot to die. Bradley testified he survived,

150
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and he lost his right eye. With friends like that,

151
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: who needs enemies, And of course it came back to

152
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: haunt Hernandez at least somewhat because of course Alexander Bradley

153
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: then testified against his former friend. Now, so we've got

154
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: him dead and the rights on killing Odin Lloyd. She

155
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: taking him out and shooting him dead. Okay, now you've

156
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: got Bradley. He shot Bradley in the face and he

157
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: lost his eye after a night drinking at a club.

158
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: So is there any reason I should not believe he

159
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: shot the last two people after drinking at a club.

160
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason. But there's this lawyer,

161
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: you know well, Jose Bias, who was able to convince

162
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: a jury in Boston that the prosecution hadn't proven that

163
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: he shot them beyond a reasonable doubt. The main way

164
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: he did that was his cross examination of Alexander Bradley.

165
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: They also prosecutors also point to her Nana as his

166
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: tattoos as confessions because one of his tattoos was a

167
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: gun similar to the murder weapon with exactly five bullets.

168
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: That's the same number as we're used in the two

169
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: thousand twelve shootings. He got a tattoo of an Alan.

170
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: He got a tattoo. It occurs to me the anthropologist

171
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: in the future, if they dig up Hernandez crypt in

172
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: his grave and look at the he's got a roadmap

173
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: to all of his crimes on his body, down to

174
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: the forehead where he wrote John three. You know what's amazing.

175
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: It just reminds me so much of my days prosecuting Alan.

176
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I mean, I was shocked when

177
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: I heard her Nandez had committed suicide. Ironically on the

178
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: day his team was meeting the President in the White

179
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: House for winning the Super Bowl. And I guess it

180
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: reminded me of all the years I prosecuted, because yes,

181
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I hated what the defendants did, and some of them

182
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,479
Speaker 1: I hated, But like Hernandez, when I think of him,

183
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: that sixteen year old boy who loved his dad and

184
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: who was being steered by his dad, and now his

185
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: life just went to thuggery after his father passed away,

186
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I look at so many lives that could have been

187
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: so awesome and what crime has done to them, not

188
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: just the victims, but the defendants too. And now I'm

189
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: not going soft. I'm just being honest about this. It's

190
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: just well, that little girl, that four year old little

191
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: child in a courtroom recently, she was there. I guess

192
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: that's the only time that Aaron Hernandez really could see

193
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: his daughter, who was born after his arrest, and he

194
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: blew her a kiss in the courtroom. Now that was touching,

195
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: but in the context you got to remember, it's also

196
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: kind of bizarre. You know another thing, Alan, I think

197
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: her Nandez is responsible for more murders I do, and

198
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: I think they were all alcohol fueled anger related I

199
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: just don't think he could control his rage. And I

200
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: just see such a horrible scenario, the way it played out,

201
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: of someone that was potentially so great taking a road

202
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: of crime that left a wake of pain behind him.

203
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: He can't possibly fathom. I mean, I know there's Odin

204
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Lloyd dead, these two men that he just happened to

205
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: me in a nightclub dead. I know what the jury said.

206
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: I disagree. Bradley shot in the face, he's lost in

207
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: the use of an eye. And now Hernandez commits suicide.

208
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Just all the people that he hurt, that's his legacy.

209
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: But he could have been so great, you know, It's

210
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: just it's just sad the whole, all the way around.

211
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: It's sad for the victims families, and it's sad for

212
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: his family. The girl that will never have a father,

213
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: his own father that would have been so proud of

214
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: him for doing so well in the NFL. I mean,

215
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Alan, I just I mean, I'm

216
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: not a shrink, I'm just a lawyer. A bit. I

217
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: don't get it. Now, are we supposed to feel sorry

218
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: for him because he put John three sixteen on his forehead?

219
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: I can think of a Bible verse that would have

220
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: been better. Why didn't he put Leviticus seventeen? Nancy, you're

221
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: a good methodist. Can you quote that one? I don't

222
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: know what. I'm sure you've got it right in front

223
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: of you right now, and you're totally cheating. No, you

224
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: know it's in just it's in my head. Yeah. If

225
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: a man takes the life of any human being, he

226
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: shall surely be put to death. You're totally rating. Okay,

227
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: you're rating. Give me, please, forgive me. But okay, I

228
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: got more. Now you're cheating. I don't think his forehead

229
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: was big enough for all that. No, please save it.

230
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that his forehead was really big enough

231
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: for all that. No, well, just to write Leviticus. Maybe

232
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: he could do it on his on his chest or something.

233
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Leviticus seventeen. As a prosecutor, you should know that one

234
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: isn't Leviticus in the Old Testament? Well, what's wrong with

235
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: the Old Testament? Nancy? Are we going to get in

236
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: that methodist read the Old Testament? Well, hold on just

237
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: a minute, there, just a minute. Sometimes the Old Testament

238
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: is a little harsh. Yeah, and so saith Nancy Grace,

239
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: Why don't we just get back on the case instead

240
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: of you preaching to me about Leviticus. Just a second,

241
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to Aaron Hernandez. Could I stop

242
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: a second and write a notation in my In my

243
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: diary April nine teen, seventeen, Nancy Gray said, levite is

244
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: a little harsh. Okay, oh, okay, all right, you went

245
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: on this, But I still say, you know, I still

246
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: think it makes me sad to think about how great

247
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: he could have been, and by choosing a life of crime,

248
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: he has caused so much pain and even in the

249
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: end causing pain, causing pain to his family. But the

250
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: thought of being locked away from my children, I don't.

251
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could have stood that. Apparently

252
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: he could, they're growing up. He couldn't. I don't know.

253
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: All I can say is God bless his victims. May

254
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: they all rest in peace. And he's meaning his maker now.

255
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: So that look, I know how to try a chase. Okay.

256
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Other than that, I'm gonna leave that to the Lord. Okay,

257
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm out of it. So that's all I can tell you.

258
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: When his trial, the Odin trial was going on, and

259
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: I was watching it very closely and writing about it.

260
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: I was in touch with people who actually I had

261
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: a contact inside the jail where he was being held,

262
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: someone who was an inmate there who had just been

263
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: released from the jail in the middle of the trial.

264
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: I know you're working out to a point, Alan, what

265
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: is it? This guy had some things that this is

266
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: this is the human side of Aaron Hernandez. Aaron Hernandez

267
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: wanted to help this guy that had befriended him in jail.

268
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: He wrote out some things like autographs and letters and

269
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: everything to give to that guy so that he could

270
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: then sell them to help his family out. That's what

271
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Hernandez did for one of his jail buddies. I

272
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: don't know if that makes him sympathetic or not. Well,

273
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: it's another side to him. It doesn't erase the murders

274
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: or the pain he's caused, but there is there was

275
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: another side to him. All I know is this is

276
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: a case that has taken one twist after the next.

277
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when I first heard Aaron Hernandez arrested for murder,

278
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: had no idea that there were going to be so

279
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: many murders and so many other cases that were never

280
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: even prosecuted. What do you think about the possibility that

281
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: some people have raised that Aaron Hernandez himself is a

282
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: murder victim, that he didn't kill himself. Does that happen

283
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: in prison? It happens all the time. But given these

284
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: circumstances where he tried he tried to barricade his door.

285
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: I know they're calling for a murder investigation right now

286
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: as to whether he really committed suicide, But given that

287
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: he barricaded his door, I think I don't. I don't

288
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: see a possibility that anyone else could have done it

289
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: but him, But I'm anxious to get the answer. I

290
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: believe this is the end. This is the final chapter

291
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: on Aaron Hernandez. Can we agree on that? Yes, I

292
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: would agree on that that it is now in the

293
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: history books. Okay, then in that case, Nancy Grace with

294
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Crime Stories, signing off, goodbye friend,
