Netflix Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

[greasy]

One part that I thought was fishy;

- Hernandez kills himself
- Being in appeals, his conviction dismissed due to abatement law
- NE Patriots may then have to pay portions / all of Hernandez contract to his estate
- State of Mass is influenced to dissolve abatement law
- Hernandez conviction overturned (finding him guilty again instead of being grandfathered in)
- NE Patriots walk away from any financial responsibilities

If the law wasn't overturned the Patriots would have fought tooth in nail in court to not have to pay out that contract. Also who knows what clauses were in that contract that would have not allowed full disbursement. It is quite possible the Patriots saw a lower financial cost in incentifying Oden's mom to lead a charge to pull the law off of the books and lining the pockets of some lawmakers to push it through. No doubt the team has a ton of clout in the state.

What the Patriots would do to prevent pay out through legal means is not material (I.e., them fighting it via the courts).

I do question if there was any influence, and the overturning of the ruling due to a law change (lack of grandfathering)

The law is pretty dum and antiquated

The law was dumb, and antiquated, but at the time of his death it WAS the law. I thought it was really strange that they overturned it. Would they have done that for joe blow murderer? I am sure the Patriots were never going to pay out whatever they were on the hook for, but that is another matter.

Wonder how many more SB the Pats could had won with Gronk on the left, Aaron on the right... Obviously Brady throwing

Figure at least the 2 Manning won. And probably 1 or 2 more beyond that. Gotta figure the pats have been in the divisional championship game nearly every year for the past 11 years.

Plus Gronk may not have taken such a beating and still be playing
