Aaron Hernandez girlfriend Shayanna Jenkins was crying after guilty verdict

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday, and his fiancee Shayanna Jenkins immediately burst into tears after hearing the verdict.

Jenkins, who had been granted immunity to testify, said very little that could have convicted Hernandez while she was on the stand. It became clear almost immediately that she was not going to “flip” on the father of her child, though she did very little to help Hernandez’s case.

Hernandez continued to show little emotion after learning that he is likely facing life in prison without parole.
