NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- A Massachusetts judge on Friday ordered all evidence in the prison suicide of Aaron Hernandez preserved, granting a request from the ex-NFL star's fiancee so the family can investigate the circumstances of his death.
Bristol Superior Court Judge Thomas McGuire said he thinks it's only fair that Hernandez's family, the government and the public know exactly how he died.
His fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins Hernandez, had filed court papers on behalf of his estate, asking that prison officials be barred from altering or destroying any potential evidence, including Hernandez's writings, video and audio recordings and medical records.
