ESPN news just reported via their television programming that former New England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez has been found guilty of 1st degree murder in the death of Odin Lloyd.
The jury reached a verdict this morning after a week of deliberation. It was beginning to look like or at least many speculated that the jury could end “hung” because of the length of deliberation. Throughout the deliberation the jury asked for clarification on testimony and evidence lists, a sign they were being careful in the judgment.
The verdict comes with an automatic life sentence without the ability to gain parole.
