Aaron Hernandez won't be out in the exercise yard any more...

It happens sometimes. You teach them and show example by the way you live and sometimes it just doesn't take.

Hopefully he becomes the next in a long line of lessons young people should learn. If you murder your friends, nobody will want to hang out with you.

I see what you did there.

He had issues going back before the NFL. No doubt that repeated concussions have ruined the lives of several atheletes but I don't think that is the case here.

He probably had more than a few blows to the head before the NFL, too.

I'm not excusing his actions, or even saying that was a primary cause, but we're learning amazing things about brain injuries. Even having a concussion just once--"getting your bell rung"--can have permanent effects.

Mass. Appeals Court likely to vacate Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction.

Aaron Hernandez very likely won't be known as a convicted murderer for much longer.

The death of the former New England Patriots tight end Wednesday will almost certainly lead to the expungement of his 2015 first-degree murder conviction for the slaying of Odin Lloyd since the case was still under appeal in Massachusetts.

I think he is serving a life sentence and that is the way it should be.

I fixed that for you.

I fixed that for you.

Thank you!

Interestingly, it looks like his conviction will be reversed:

Wow...Surely he knew this was a possibility last week?

Read the story; it'll be reversed because he's dead. Interesting quirk of law.
