The Aaron Hernandez murder conviction that was overturned following his suicide in April could get overturned again if prosecutors get their way.
Before his death, Hernandez was in jail because he was serving a life sentence after being found guilty for the June 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd. Following his suicide, Hernandez's attorney's asked that his conviction in the Lloyd case be vacated due to the Massachusetts legal principle known as "abatement ab initio."
Under that principle, a defendant can have a conviction tossed out if they're not alive to have their final appeals heard.
