The Evidence: Damning and Circumstantial

The prosecution's case against Hernandez was built on a mountain of circumstantial evidence, including text messages, phone records, and eyewitness accounts placing him at the scene of the crime. The most damning piece of evidence was a surveillance video that captured Hernandez and two other men, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, driving Lloyd's rental car to an industrial park where his body was later found.

The defense, led by high-profile attorney Jose Baez, argued that the prosecution's evidence was circumstantial and open to interpretation. They presented witnesses who testified that Hernandez was a kind and generous man, and that he had no motive to kill Lloyd.

The Verdict: Guilty of Murder

After a six-week trial, the jury reached a verdict: Aaron Hernandez was guilty of first-degree murder. The judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The verdict sent shockwaves through the NFL and beyond. Hernandez, once considered one of the most promising young players in the league, was now a convicted murderer.

The Final Days: Suicide in Prison

Hernandez spent the next several years in prison, where he struggled with mental health issues and the reality of his situation. On April 19, 2017, he was found dead in his cell, an apparent suicide.
