Plenty Of Blame To Go Around In the Aaron Hernandez Case

One of the last things anyone needs in their life is the assurance that their bad behavior will go unpunished. Just ask Aaron Hernandez.

When news of Aaron Hernandez's guilty verdict and subsequent life sentence without the possibility of parole was announced on Wednesday morning, I couldn't help but think of Rae Carruth, the former Carolina Panthers' receiver who shamefully decided to hire someone to murder his pregnant girlfriend back in 1999. Unfortunately, Cherica Adams didn't survive the attack and although his unborn son did survive, he suffered permanent brain damage after his oxygen supply was cut off for over an hour.
