1
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:15,023
How were you going toget home from the gym on that afternoon?
2
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:16,984
I was gonna run...
3
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:24,855
but I went straight, and it's a path thatturns from pavement to gravel and dirt.
4
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:28,402
I want to show youa series of photographs and ask you
5
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:30,236
- if you recognize them.
- Okay.
6
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:32,199
- Do you recognize that?
- Yes.
7
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:34,532
And what do you recognize
that to be?
8
00:00:34,617 --> 00:00:35,737
The man I discovered.
9
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,876
The discovery of a bodyin North Attleboro
10
00:00:41,958 --> 00:00:43,538
has taken a dramatic twist.
11
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:48,589
Sports Illustrated reporting yesterdaythat Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez
12
00:00:48,673 --> 00:00:53,603
has been questioned in connectionwith what is now a homicide investigation.
13
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:56,845
The police presence comes
14
00:00:56,931 --> 00:01:02,811
after the body of a 27-year-old Boston manwas found in an industrial park
15
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:06,516
less than a mile awayfrom the NFL star's home.
16
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,606
The Patriots organizationreleased a statement
17
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,907
saying they are awareof what is happening,
18
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:15,991
but as long as there is
19
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:19,446
a police investigation going on,they won't further comment.
20
00:01:20,371 --> 00:01:21,871
When you lookat the New England Patriots,
21
00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:24,746
you look at Bill Belichick,obviously, and Tom Brady.
22
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:27,212
You marvel at the excellence
23
00:01:27,295 --> 00:01:29,705
of the New England Patriotsand what they are.
24
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:35,183
Drafted in 2010,Aaron Hernandez made a splash in the NFL.
25
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,271
Hernandez had recently signed
26
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:43,389
a new mouthwatering contractworth $40 million.
27
00:01:45,313 --> 00:01:48,903
Police quick to say thatHernandez is not a suspect,
28
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:53,203
but that a car rented in his namecould be a key source of evidence.
29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,870
It's kind of hard also because,
it's just they said that
30
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,740
there was a vehicle involved,
but nothing has been proven.
31
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:03,919
Good afternoon, everybody,
32
00:02:03,998 --> 00:02:07,288
this victim has now been identified hereas Odin Lloyd.
33
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:11,171
Family members say Lloydplayed some semi-professional football.
34
00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:14,176
They say he was an honest,hardworking young man.
35
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,889
They say they have no ideawhy anyone would do him harm.
36
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:19,601
They are in complete shock.
37
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,980
Lloyd's family memberstold reporters
38
00:02:23,059 --> 00:02:26,979
the 27-year-old was dating the sisterof Hernandez's girlfriend.
39
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:31,939
Meanwhile,the ongoing investigation
40
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:35,106
has created a frenzyoutside of Hernandez's home.
41
00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:37,236
Apparently,the house was scrubbed clean,
42
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,533
according to the reportsthat we're hearing this morning.
43
00:02:39,617 --> 00:02:41,487
Broken cell phones,
44
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:44,868
also a security systemthat was messed with at the house.
45
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:48,126
North Attleboroand Massachusetts State Police
46
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:51,379
continue combingthrough fields for evidence.
47
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:58,387
These are live pictures fromthe news choppers outside of Boston
48
00:02:58,469 --> 00:03:01,929
from what is looking weirdly reminiscent.
49
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:06,851
They are following that white SUVwith the dark sunroof right there.
50
00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:11,019
In the car is a New England Patriotsfootball player
51
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:13,987
who may soon become a murder suspect.
52
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:24,447
Along the way, news crewscaught up with Hernandez in Boston
53
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,117
as he stopped for gas.
54
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:29,956
They asked several questions,but not a peep from Hernandez.
55
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,462
What happened on Monday night?
56
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,758
He then headedto Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
57
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:41,349
An arrest warranthas been issued
58
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:43,849
for New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez.
59
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:48,601
Police showed up atthe house of Aaron Hernandez this morning
60
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:52,355
and took the Bristol, Connecticut nativeaway in handcuffs.
61
00:03:57,153 --> 00:03:59,033
When this day began,Aaron Hernandez
62
00:03:59,113 --> 00:04:00,913
was a New England Patriots tight end.
63
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:03,240
Tonight, he is the defendantin a murder case.
64
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:51,370
Hello, this isa prepaid collect call from...
65
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:52,417
Aaron.
66
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,750
To accept charges, press one.To refuse charges, press...
67
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:59,667
Thank you for using Securus.You may start the conversation now.
68
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:00,717
Hola!
69
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:03,681
- Hi!- Hi!
70
00:05:03,761 --> 00:05:04,971
Hello?
71
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:07,178
Daddy's on speaker phone.
72
00:05:07,265 --> 00:05:08,635
I love you!
73
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:10,055
Say, "I love you!"
74
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,563
I love you, bye!
75
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:13,354
Don't say bye!
76
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:14,728
I talked to my lawyers.
77
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:17,404
As long as you have a case,if you have a baby with someone,
78
00:05:17,483 --> 00:05:20,073
you're allowed a one-time visitevery now and then.
79
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:22,108
So, if you wanna see me...
80
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:24,493
Nah, maybe.
81
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:30,746
Kidding.
82
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:33,326
- You better be.- Hey, hey, hey!
83
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:36,043
Mommy's being bad girl.
84
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,174
Mommy's not doinganything wrong... What the heck?
85
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:41,415
- Dada.- She said "dada."
86
00:05:42,091 --> 00:05:43,301
What is this?
87
00:05:43,384 --> 00:05:45,354
Dada's on vacation.
88
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:48,718
He's 23 years oldat the time
89
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:51,306
that he's led out of his housein handcuffs.
90
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,690
I'm standing there on the streetas he comes out
91
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:58,401
and you just try to understand
the fall at that point.
92
00:06:00,318 --> 00:06:02,278
When I got the callfrom my editors
93
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,622
that Aaron Hernandezcould be involved in a crime,
94
00:06:05,698 --> 00:06:09,038
the first question that popped into
my head was, "Who's Aaron Hernandez?"
95
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:13,083
You basically start scouring onlineand you find out that,
96
00:06:13,164 --> 00:06:15,924
"Wow, this is whypeople adore Aaron Hernandez."
97
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:19,091
He was seen as thisvery hardworking, talented...
98
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,710
extremely talented football player
99
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:25,638
who had nearly won the Super Bowlfor the Patriots just the year before,
100
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:27,468
so this guy was huge.
101
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,023
The court hereby orders that
the defendant, Aaron Hernandez,
102
00:06:36,104 --> 00:06:39,154
be held without bail, pending
further proceedings on this matter.
103
00:06:39,982 --> 00:06:45,822
Innocent! Innocent!Innocent! Innocent! Innocent!
104
00:06:48,366 --> 00:06:53,156
Aaron was not your typical inmate at
the Bristol County House of Corrections.
105
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,656
Here it comes.
Here it comes.
106
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:55,667
Here it comes.
107
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:59,170
That's the vehicle
that contains Aaron Hernandez.
108
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,882
Right now, he is passing by.
109
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:05,548
He was gonnaget some attention, dramatic attention,
110
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,683
from the sheriff and all of the guards.
111
00:07:09,846 --> 00:07:12,266
They knew there was gonna bea spotlight on this.
112
00:07:15,643 --> 00:07:17,773
When he first came in,
I let him know upfront
113
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:20,864
he's not gonna be treated any better
or any worse than anybody here.
114
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,780
- That's a huge badge.
- It is.
115
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:24,649
- You guys mind putting those closer?
- You know what, I don't make them.
116
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:25,565
I really don't make them.
117
00:07:25,653 --> 00:07:26,703
Sir, can you come a little closer?
118
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:27,949
- Sure, sure.
- Please. Please.
119
00:07:28,030 --> 00:07:30,240
It might be a bit of an adjustment
for him on the meals, I'm sure.
120
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:34,254
He's a pretty big guy, but the reality is
that when you come to jail,
121
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:35,658
it does require some adjustments,
122
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:37,246
and that's why we take these steps
123
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:40,331
to make sure there's physical screeningand the proper mental health screening.
124
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:44,552
When he first got into jail,
125
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:47,587
prison officials put him on suicide watch,
126
00:07:47,675 --> 00:07:51,635
as they do with any personlike Aaron or anybody
127
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:56,021
who's dealing with the kind of chargesand the kind of pressure he was under,
128
00:07:56,726 --> 00:08:01,646
because inevitably,that person breaks down.
129
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:04,531
Hey.
130
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,565
Hey, babe.
131
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:08,237
Are you healthy? Are you good?
132
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,531
Yeah, I'm actually...I'm very healthy.
133
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,831
Yeah, I love my cell. It's so cozy.
134
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:15,080
Know what I always do?
135
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,791
I always walk to my door, turn,and look the opposite way.
136
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:22,250
And just look... How...How perfect my cell looks.
137
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:26,513
That's all you ever neededwas structure, you know.
138
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:28,629
- That was all you ever needed-- - I'm perfect with structure,
139
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:29,626
you know?
140
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:34,678
Aaron Hernandez wentfrom a 7,100-square-foot mansion
141
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:37,064
to a seven-by-ten-foot jail cell
142
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:38,981
and moved in like it was no problem.
143
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:46,067
That chilled even veteran
corrections officers at the Bristol Jail.
144
00:08:48,819 --> 00:08:50,779
He adaptedto the situation really quick.
145
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:53,073
He adapted to the time alone in his cell.
146
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:56,828
His attitude was, you know,
"I'm here, I get three meals a day.
147
00:08:56,911 --> 00:09:01,001
I don't have nobody... I don't have to
have people rely on me anymore."
148
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:02,827
He was good with that.
149
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:05,593
Can you do me a huge favor?
150
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:08,507
God,when is this gonna stop?
151
00:09:08,589 --> 00:09:10,219
It's just sending me...
152
00:09:10,299 --> 00:09:11,799
'Cause we don't have a librarian,
153
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:15,894
so they just, like, pass outthe books that were here.
154
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,432
Well, what books am I gonnabe sending you, Aaron?
155
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:19,766
Harry Potters.
156
00:09:20,351 --> 00:09:23,191
Harry Potters? Okay.
157
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:25,111
He was allowed out twice a day.
158
00:09:25,189 --> 00:09:27,149
In the morning, showers and phone,
159
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:30,363
and one hour outside
in the afternoon for rec.
160
00:09:30,987 --> 00:09:35,277
He reced in a cage, an 8-by-12 cage.
161
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:36,776
A place where you get fresh air,
162
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,997
if you wanted to do sit-ups, push-ups,whatever inside there, you could.
163
00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:45,955
He often spoke of the fact that hewasn't in jail, he was in training camp.
164
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:47,803
He would compartmentalize that,
165
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:50,718
and that's all he wouldallow his mind to believe.
166
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:54,639
What the conversationin NFL circles today
167
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:58,389
about what happened and whetheranyone could have seen this coming.
168
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:01,182
There are some people sitting around
the league saying, "I told you so."
169
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:04,977
When Hernandez was drafted,
there were questions about
170
00:10:05,062 --> 00:10:08,362
whether he would be a good influence
on the team and have good character.
171
00:10:10,026 --> 00:10:11,856
As the coach of the team,
172
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:15,324
I'm primarily responsible
for the people that we bring
173
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:16,816
into the football operation.
174
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:22,657
Our players are generally
highly motivated and gifted athletes
175
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:24,747
that come from very different backgrounds.
176
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,918
You know, as far as
the whole process goes,
177
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:31,589
I can tell you that we look
at every player's history
178
00:10:31,672 --> 00:10:34,762
from the moment we start discussing it.
179
00:10:35,676 --> 00:10:41,096
Going back to his family, where hegrew up, what his lifestyle was like.
180
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:47,308
We evaluate his performance,his intelligence, his work ethic,
181
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:54,238
his motivation, his maturity,his improvement,
182
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,664
and we try to project thatinto our organization.
183
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:07,710
When it first came out,I was obviously in denial mode.
184
00:11:09,543 --> 00:11:12,253
"He never did this, you know,
it's a conspiracy.
185
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:15,628
This gang set him up,
this gang set him up, this, this, this."
186
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:20,216
I threw out a million different situations
that would make sense to me
187
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:21,814
because I knew who Aaron was.
188
00:11:22,473 --> 00:11:25,063
You know, obviously, when you'vegrown up with someone,
189
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:27,902
you don't want to believeany of this stuff,
190
00:11:27,978 --> 00:11:30,558
and you want to shut it out,and you want to put it away.
191
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:34,937
You have a kidwho had it all
192
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:38,157
and had the world in his hands.
193
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:42,866
None of it makes sense,
and nobody can figure out why.
194
00:11:44,453 --> 00:11:46,503
I think there was a perceptionwith Aaron Hernandez
195
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:49,920
that he grew up in a tough place,a blighted area,
196
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,920
street gangs, drugs everywhere.
197
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:54,460
None of that was true.
198
00:11:54,964 --> 00:11:58,844
Bristol Central High Schoolis a typical American high school.
199
00:11:58,926 --> 00:12:01,096
Perched up on a hill,it overlooks the city.
200
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:05,268
Kids go there and then head offto some of the best colleges in America.
201
00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:08,480
I'm Aaron Hernandez
from Bristol, Connecticut.
202
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,311
I play at Bristol Central High School.
203
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:14,281
Aaron was a superstar.
204
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:16,654
He was great at what he did.
205
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:19,486
He always walked aroundwith a smile on his face.
206
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:21,824
He was kind to everybody.
207
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:26,577
I tell you, when I met Aaron,
it was like meeting your twin brother.
208
00:12:26,662 --> 00:12:28,962
It was so funny, we were both the same.
209
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:33,339
He has dimples,we're both "cheesy smile, all happy."
210
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:36,918
He used to be able to make everyone laugh,
211
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:39,296
and most of the time,he'd pick on himself.
212
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:41,933
He wasn't someonewho picked on other kids.
213
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,510
He liked to make fun of himselfis what I'm getting at.
214
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:48,518
He'd do anything
to just get someone to chuckle at him.
215
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:51,400
Early on, people knew
216
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:54,189
Aaron Hernandez wasa different level of athlete,
217
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:56,033
whatever that was gonna be in.
218
00:12:56,859 --> 00:12:59,899
He was playing on basketball teamstwo and three years older.
219
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,986
He was very gifted on the track and field.
220
00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:06,788
Football's wherehe totally shined, though.
221
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,130
My father played quarterbackat Bristol Central.
222
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:18,014
His tailback was Dennis Hernandez,Aaron's father.
223
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:22,722
They used to throwthat film on for us,
224
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,642
to me, Aaron, and DJ,and it was cool to watch that.
225
00:13:28,265 --> 00:13:30,805
I used to play soccer 'cause my momdidn't want me to play football,
226
00:13:30,893 --> 00:13:33,353
but when I got to the point
where I was begging my parents
227
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:35,147
to get me on the gridiron,
228
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:38,863
you know, my mom wanted to speakto Dennis Hernandez first.
229
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,279
And to kind of put my mom at ease,
230
00:13:42,363 --> 00:13:45,033
he decided that he would start Aaronat the same time.
231
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:49,662
You know, we played our first snapsof peewee football together.
232
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:55,501
Aaron's father Dennisbecame known in town
233
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:57,964
when he was a star athlete in the 1970s.
234
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:01,551
Dennis Hernandezwent to the state university
235
00:14:01,632 --> 00:14:03,932
playing football at UConn.
236
00:14:04,635 --> 00:14:07,005
The Hernandezes, they were a UConn family.
237
00:14:07,888 --> 00:14:09,808
Their dog was named UConn.
238
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:12,694
And he really builtsomething for himself.
239
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:15,518
You know, a first generation immigrantfrom Puerto Rico,
240
00:14:15,604 --> 00:14:17,944
and it kinda was the American dream
241
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:20,904
of being a good father,of being a good man,
242
00:14:20,985 --> 00:14:23,895
being a good leader in the community,and he did that well.
243
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:25,412
The King.
244
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:26,913
Is that true?
245
00:14:26,991 --> 00:14:29,701
People called him "The King"
or was he just known as...
246
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:31,245
He was The King.
247
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:35,788
Everyone liked him,everyone respected him.
248
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:39,955
Aaron really aspired to be like Dennis.
249
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:44,132
Dennis Hernandez knewwhat he had in his two sons,
250
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:47,215
knew the promiseof their athletic ability,
251
00:14:48,345 --> 00:14:50,965
and knew how importantgetting to college would be for them
252
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:58,362
and was willing to put in a lot of timeand effort into getting to that.
253
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,189
He's very hard on me.We work all summer.
254
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,695
If I drop a ball, it's 100 push-ups.
255
00:15:05,529 --> 00:15:09,069
Dennis, he was strict onhis sons, but he was able to do a good job
256
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:11,538
of letting them knowwhen they were slipping up,
257
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,405
or letting them know when they were
accomplishing something great.
258
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:16,866
The minute we stepped
on the football field together,
259
00:15:16,957 --> 00:15:18,827
it was the two best players,
260
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:24,007
quarterback, tight end,ready to rock and roll.
261
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:32,767
Every single thing he did,
you could just see he was different.
262
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:38,231
He always was really intothe mental aspect of everything.
263
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:42,358
You know, Aaron was Albert Einsteinwhen it came to X's and O's.
264
00:15:44,652 --> 00:15:47,282
It's too hard to throwbecause our hands were freezing,
265
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:49,373
it's the coldest game I've ever played,
266
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:51,738
and I told coach,
"Give me the ball, I'll run it back,
267
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:53,485
hopefully I can make something happen."
268
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:56,905
This was before the tattoos,before anything.
269
00:15:56,997 --> 00:15:59,457
He was the biggest, baddest thingin Connecticut.
270
00:16:00,334 --> 00:16:02,844
He wins state player of the year,
271
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,420
but during one game,he gets knocked out cold.
272
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:08,928
He needed the EMTs to carry him off.
273
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:14,854
Even kids learn at an early age,
in a midget football field...
274
00:16:14,932 --> 00:16:16,892
don't come off the field.
275
00:16:19,186 --> 00:16:20,146
Play hurt.
276
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:26,146
When Aaron was 14 years old,he had just started to hit puberty,
277
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:27,315
and he went to UConn camp,
278
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:30,863
and he absolutely dominatedevery single player at the camp.
279
00:16:31,281 --> 00:16:34,701
So they offered him a scholarshipwarranted at the age of 14.
280
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:38,705
Aaron, being Aaron, was so happy
and so joyful and so excited
281
00:16:38,789 --> 00:16:42,709
to just have a scholarship offered
just from doing what he loves to do,
282
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,883
he went and said,"Yeah, I'm coming to UConn."
283
00:16:45,921 --> 00:16:49,761
His brother, DJ,was a quarterback at the school already.
284
00:16:50,884 --> 00:16:52,594
UConn was actually makingthe smart move
285
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:56,558
of trying to attract a recruit earlywith family ties
286
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,230
by making sure they'rethe first scholarship offer.
287
00:17:00,936 --> 00:17:02,766
The Hernandez familyin the Bristol community
288
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:05,515
was known as, um, a sports family.
289
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:09,529
A family that you probablydidn't mess with.
290
00:17:11,572 --> 00:17:15,952
He was our king, he was our leader,
and he was just... That was our dad.
291
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:22,075
But there were times with alcohol
where he would come home, and...
292
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:25,923
if it wasn't a good day,you know, you felt it.
293
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,880
My father was a good man,you know what I mean?
294
00:17:29,965 --> 00:17:32,375
- But he was also, like, very wild.- Yeah.
295
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:37,215
My mom went througha real lot with my father.
296
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:40,056
But like, she loves someone,she just always sticks by 'em.
297
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,942
- My dad put her through hell.- Yeah.
298
00:17:42,352 --> 00:17:44,732
They argued every daywhen we were kids,
299
00:17:44,813 --> 00:17:46,443
but they still stuck together.
300
00:17:48,192 --> 00:17:50,402
Dennis Hernandezhad a violent streak.
301
00:17:50,486 --> 00:17:53,986
In his book, Aaron's brother, DJ,
writes about a night
302
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:57,703
when Dennis came home drunk,came home late.
303
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:00,245
Terri respondedby hitting him with a phone.
304
00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:03,121
He responded by smashingher head against a sink
305
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:04,747
until she lost consciousness.
306
00:18:09,546 --> 00:18:12,926
Violent outbursts like that were notuncommon in the Hernandez home.
307
00:18:15,677 --> 00:18:19,177
Mr. Hernandez was definitely
the man of that household and...
308
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:23,354
You know, I don't think
there was many people really
309
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:25,515
coming over there telling him what to do.
310
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:30,442
I mean, listen, that's whatAaron was dealing with as a kid,
311
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,146
so you wonder to yourself,
312
00:18:32,236 --> 00:18:35,816
"Well, fuck, no wonder why
he was so fucking sporadic.
313
00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:37,736
His parents were the same way."
314
00:18:38,575 --> 00:18:40,075
I followed Aaron Hernandez
315
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,790
since he was in US Army All-Americanin high school,
316
00:18:43,872 --> 00:18:46,172
and at that point, it was from afar.
317
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:49,340
He was a statistical figure to mein terms of tracking him,
318
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:52,549
but watched him in college from afar,
319
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,551
interacted with him in the locker room
320
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:57,643
when he was with the New England Patriotsas a professional,
321
00:18:58,345 --> 00:19:01,215
and that was all I knewat that point, but...
322
00:19:02,933 --> 00:19:06,233
the portrait of somebody who has
323
00:19:06,311 --> 00:19:10,611
a dual personality with a double life...
324
00:19:11,733 --> 00:19:16,663
The intrigue is there, in terms of tryingto figure out where this went wrong
325
00:19:16,738 --> 00:19:19,118
and was this something
that could have been fixed
326
00:19:19,199 --> 00:19:22,079
by people who had authority over him,
327
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,371
or was this somebody
who just was a ticking time bomb?
328
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:29,286
My whole body's shaking right now.
329
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:31,382
Why is it shaking?
330
00:19:31,461 --> 00:19:33,011
I had to call you to calm down.
331
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:35,218
I was aboutto beat somebody's ass.
332
00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:37,969
Why? What happened?
333
00:19:38,051 --> 00:19:39,011
Nothing.
334
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:42,095
Dumbass arguments.You know my temper.
335
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:47,391
You talk like you're gettingready to cry. Are you mad?
336
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:50,399
I can't stop. My kneesare shaking like crazy right now.
337
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,730
Like, my whole body.
338
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:54,895
I cry when I get extremely mad,so it's okay if you want to cry.
339
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:56,195
I do, too!
340
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:57,698
Well, I can't right here!
341
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:00,526
Holy shit.
342
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:03,453
Was it an argumentabout a game?
343
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:04,575
Yeah.
344
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:06,834
Really, Aaron?
345
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,794
Yeah.
346
00:20:08,874 --> 00:20:10,254
Really?
347
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:11,924
Holy shit.
348
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:14,422
You care too muchof what people think about you.
349
00:20:15,505 --> 00:20:17,505
That has nothing to do about that.
350
00:20:17,591 --> 00:20:21,261
It does, because you feel likeyou're gonna be a type of, like...
351
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:22,925
pussy, if you walk away
352
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:25,313
or you don't do somethingabout the situation.
353
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:28,770
You sit thereand you take it to the extreme.
354
00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:32,687
Today, one of the firstchances that we are getting to speak with
355
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:35,363
some of the New England Patriotsteam captains.
356
00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:38,202
Reporters have been asking questionsabout Aaron Hernandez,
357
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:40,198
who is no longer on the team.
358
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,160
You know, I think everyone had
a certain range of emotions,
359
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,332
whatever they might have been, and, um...
360
00:20:46,411 --> 00:20:49,791
But those were really personal,
and I dealt with them, and...
361
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:53,707
You know, at some point,
you have to move forward, and, um...
362
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:56,634
I think we as a team are doing that.
363
00:20:56,713 --> 00:20:59,883
You know Aaron pretty well and
you've known him for six, seven years.
364
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:02,297
What was your reaction
over the last six weeks?
365
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:04,676
Well, it was heartbreaking,
and it was sad,
366
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:07,103
and we've been advised,
as I'm sure y'all have heard,
367
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:11,522
a bunch of times not to comment
on an ongoing legal investigation,
368
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:14,113
and, um, so, I'm not gonna
comment further,
369
00:21:14,189 --> 00:21:15,609
but it's just heartbreaking and sad,
370
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:19,071
and all my thoughts and prayers go out
to all the families that were involved.
371
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:20,202
Are you shocked just knowing him,
372
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,609
I mean, just knowing the guy
373
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:23,817
and having gone to college with him
and everything else?
374
00:21:23,907 --> 00:21:26,787
Yeah, I understand why
you have to ask all the questions
375
00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:31,618
and that's part of doing your job, and
part of mine is listening to instruction.
376
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:34,377
We've been told
not to talk about it, so...
377
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:39,464
Hundreds of peoplecame out to mourn the man
378
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:42,838
whose murder ledto the arrest of Aaron Hernandez,
379
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:47,596
27-year-old Odin Lloyd was rememberedby family, friends, and teammates
380
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:49,981
as a good man and a hard worker.
381
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:54,266
Odin was a good person,
a good friend, um, funny.
382
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:57,193
He had your back through anything,
383
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:59,404
especially, you know,
as a teammate, a friend.
384
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:01,824
Anything he did, he did with a passion.
385
00:22:02,404 --> 00:22:05,664
The semi-pro football playerwas found shot to death
386
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:07,451
in an execution-style murder.
387
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:10,914
A friend said he doesn't wantLloyd's memory to be overshadowed
388
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:14,286
by the celebrity of the manaccused of the crime.
389
00:22:16,376 --> 00:22:20,166
I've covered a lot of court cases,
I've covered a lot of high-profile trials,
390
00:22:20,255 --> 00:22:22,375
but I'd never really seen
391
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:26,756
so much media descend on one trial
as I did in this case.
392
00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:30,055
Take a quick look if you can
at just this scrum of media,
393
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,020
and this is just the media
394
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,140
- gathered at the front door.
- Right.
395
00:22:34,644 --> 00:22:37,734
Charging you with murder
in the first degree, how do you plead?
396
00:22:37,814 --> 00:22:38,864
Not guilty.
397
00:22:39,649 --> 00:22:41,939
There's so much interestin it because it's just hard to believe...
398
00:22:42,027 --> 00:22:45,697
I know we say it 1,000 times, but it'shard to believe a guy in this position,
399
00:22:45,781 --> 00:22:48,121
um, could be involvedin something like this.
400
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:51,500
We love you!
401
00:22:54,164 --> 00:22:55,174
We love you!
402
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:58,419
- How do you love a murderer?
- Yeah, right?
403
00:22:58,919 --> 00:23:02,459
Once he's arrested,
they cuff him behind the back
404
00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:05,257
and they put the shirt on over him,
405
00:23:05,342 --> 00:23:10,852
and this becomes something known as"Hernandez-ing" in the days after.
406
00:23:10,931 --> 00:23:15,851
There are teenage girlsat Patriot Place by Gillette Stadium
407
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:19,766
who start posing like this,as if this is the Macarena.
408
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:21,896
This pop culture phenomenon,
409
00:23:21,983 --> 00:23:27,863
and Hernandez goes from being a tight end
to being the murderer,
410
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:30,078
and he's the suspect at this point,
411
00:23:30,158 --> 00:23:34,198
but it's a chilling dynamicfor a lot of the fans.
412
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,543
The games won't be
the same without him.
413
00:23:36,623 --> 00:23:39,173
Well, I believe he's innocent,
so I'm gonna support him.
414
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:42,461
I'm not gonna turn my back on him
just 'cause there's accusations on him.
415
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:44,460
Meantime, Patriots fans
416
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:47,968
lined up by the hundreds todayto exchange the jerseys they once wore
417
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:50,761
in allegiance to number 81.
418
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,006
Team officials offered to swap the shirts
419
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:56,938
after the murder charges were filedagainst Hernandez last month.
420
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,062
It sucks 'cause my name
is Luis Hernandez,
421
00:24:00,147 --> 00:24:02,607
which, now I can't even wear
that jersey no more.
422
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:06,527
When the news broke with Aaron,
I was shocked.
423
00:24:07,529 --> 00:24:13,329
I just knew him to be a fiery guy,
competitive guy, funny, fun to be around,
424
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:18,787
um, but nothing like
what was portrayed on the news.
425
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:24,712
When you are starting off covering this,
you want to find out the facts.
426
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:27,382
You don't know where
this is going to lead you,
427
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:30,336
so you want to talk
to anyone you possibly can
428
00:24:30,427 --> 00:24:34,137
to find out who knows what
about what might have happened here.
429
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:39,984
Prosecutors maintain he conspiredwith two of his friends from Bristol,
430
00:24:40,061 --> 00:24:42,481
Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz.
431
00:24:43,732 --> 00:24:46,402
Carlos Ortiz has beenindicted by a grand jury
432
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,525
on a charge of accessoryto murder after the fact
433
00:24:49,613 --> 00:24:52,873
in the killing of Aaron Hernandez'sfriend, Odin Lloyd.
434
00:24:53,617 --> 00:24:55,737
Video just intoour newsroom from Florida,
435
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:59,457
one of the suspects wanted in connectionwith the case, Ernest Wallace,
436
00:24:59,539 --> 00:25:01,999
turned himself into police this afternoon.
437
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:03,713
On the nightOdin Lloyd was killed,
438
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:07,513
Ortiz, Hernandez, and Wallacewere allegedly in a vehicle with Lloyd.
439
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:11,298
These guys weresmall-time crooks.
440
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:14,595
You know, one of them
had been convicted of stealing bicycles.
441
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:17,679
This was not a hardcore crew
that he had put together.
442
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:21,806
These were guys that were tryingto hang on with Aaron Hernandez.
443
00:25:21,895 --> 00:25:23,185
He was the star.
444
00:25:23,271 --> 00:25:24,311
As for Wallace,
445
00:25:24,397 --> 00:25:27,897
he's described as the right-hand manto Hernandez
446
00:25:27,984 --> 00:25:31,994
and a frequent overnight visitorat his North Attleboro home.
447
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:36,164
Police have not said whichman they believe fired the fatal shots
448
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:38,753
that killed 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
449
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:40,332
Do you understand if you were
450
00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:42,123
to be convicted of murderin the first degree,
451
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:44,577
the sentence the judge
would be required to impose
452
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:47,048
is life in prison
without the possibility of parole?
453
00:25:47,128 --> 00:25:47,958
Yes.
454
00:25:48,922 --> 00:25:51,632
Tanya Singletonis Aaron Hernandez's cousin.
455
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:53,386
She's in legal trouble now, too.
456
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,563
Prosecutors saySingleton tried to help
457
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:59,018
both men get away after Lloyd's death,
458
00:25:59,099 --> 00:26:02,889
driving Ernest Wallace to Georgiaand buying him a bus ticket to Florida.
459
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:06,358
There was also a conversation
she had with Carlos Ortiz
460
00:26:06,439 --> 00:26:09,029
about assisting him in leaving
the country to go to Puerto Rico.
461
00:26:09,818 --> 00:26:15,618
Tanya Singleton was probably oneof the people closest to Aaron Hernandez.
462
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:18,119
She was his cousin,they'd grown up together,
463
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:23,161
and they had
a very complicated relationship.
464
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:26,539
And she was a key figurein the investigation
465
00:26:26,626 --> 00:26:29,956
because she became someonewho knew a lot about
466
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:33,506
what had happened
in the days following Odin Lloyd's death.
467
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:37,141
Aaron Hernandez's cousintook a hard hit today
468
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:42,680
by breaking the law by refusing to testifyagainst the former football star.
469
00:26:43,184 --> 00:26:45,354
She's a 38-year-old motherof two young children
470
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:47,227
who's dying from breast cancer.
471
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:53,700
She chose family loyalty
and family love over civic duty.
472
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:59,874
That's a choice that I believe many of us
would make under similar circumstances.
473
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:03,869
Tanya Singleton, I believe, was probably
474
00:27:03,955 --> 00:27:08,075
the most loyal person to Aaron Hernandez
throughout this entire case.
475
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:09,628
You mean the world to me--
476
00:27:09,711 --> 00:27:11,631
I know that,you don't have to say it.
477
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:12,923
- But I'm saying that-- - I know that.
478
00:27:13,965 --> 00:27:16,215
God is with meevery step of the way.
479
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:17,761
Yes, He is.
480
00:27:17,844 --> 00:27:19,264
And He's gonna see me through...
481
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:21,466
And there ain't no waythe doctors and him...
482
00:27:21,556 --> 00:27:22,926
He's gonna take the cancer away, and...
483
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,475
I'm gonna be here to raise my boys.
484
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,440
You know, and to be here for you.
485
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,520
I know.
486
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:31,784
You gonna be here for me,'cause I can't live without you.
487
00:27:31,858 --> 00:27:32,978
I hope you know that.
488
00:27:36,446 --> 00:27:39,156
Ironically, as much aswe went out of our way
489
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,740
to make sure that he was protected,
490
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:46,036
we never thought we might have to protect
the other inmates from him.
491
00:27:48,124 --> 00:27:49,924
He was out on his rec time,
492
00:27:50,627 --> 00:27:55,337
and apparently an inmate above himhad been, as we found out later on,
493
00:27:55,423 --> 00:28:00,013
periodically yelling down through the ventor what have you, to him,
494
00:28:01,262 --> 00:28:05,562
and that inmate happenedto be being taken out in restraints
495
00:28:05,642 --> 00:28:09,232
down the steps to goto an appointment outside the unit,
496
00:28:09,312 --> 00:28:13,402
and when he got to the bottom of
the steps, Aaron Hernandez, who was out,
497
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:15,993
only one person is allowed out
at a time on rec,
498
00:28:16,069 --> 00:28:17,199
he happened to be out,
499
00:28:17,779 --> 00:28:20,619
came around the front side of the steps
500
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:24,619
at the point the person reached the bottom
and assaulted him.
501
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:31,464
It's not uncommon where somebodywould try to raise their stature
502
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:33,093
with the rest of the inmate population
503
00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:35,459
when they have a notable person in there
to challenge that person.
504
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:37,837
So, um, I'm not saying
that happened in this case,
505
00:28:37,924 --> 00:28:39,634
I'm just saying that
those things can happen,
506
00:28:39,718 --> 00:28:42,928
and that's why I wanted him
in special management to begin with.
507
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:47,892
- Daddy!- Avielle!
508
00:28:47,976 --> 00:28:51,476
You melt my heartevery time I hear you talk!
509
00:28:52,522 --> 00:28:56,322
Are you gonna tell Daddywhat, um, what sounds Santa makes?
510
00:28:56,401 --> 00:28:59,111
Ho, ho, ho.
511
00:28:59,195 --> 00:29:00,815
Tell Daddy, what does Santa say?
512
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:01,905
Ho, ho, ho.
513
00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:03,410
- Did you hear it?- Yeah.
514
00:29:03,491 --> 00:29:06,411
He says, "Ho! Ho! Ho!Merry Christmas!" Right?
515
00:29:06,494 --> 00:29:07,334
Yes.
516
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:12,582
I ordered our Christmas cards,like I do every year, and...
517
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:13,627
Yeah.
518
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:16,250
...this year,I put just her on it,
519
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:18,377
which I thinkI'm just gonna start doing that
520
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:21,425
until we're like a family together again.
521
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:31,102
We're watchingthe Pats game, sorry.
522
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,556
I am, too. As we speak.
523
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:36,477
I don't wanna bring upbad memories, but...
524
00:29:36,566 --> 00:29:37,816
Bad memories?
525
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:40,607
Those are good memories.
526
00:29:41,654 --> 00:29:44,034
I don't know.Thinking about it makes you sad.
527
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:45,065
Yeah.
528
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:49,748
The judge says people willnot be allowed inside the room
529
00:29:49,829 --> 00:29:54,289
if they are wearing or carryinganything with images of the NFL,
530
00:29:54,375 --> 00:29:58,875
the New England Patriots team,or any football related insignia on it.
531
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:05,763
This trial took place before, during,
and after the Patriots Super Bowl run,
532
00:30:05,845 --> 00:30:08,925
so this is peak sales timefor the Patriots.
533
00:30:09,015 --> 00:30:11,765
Everyone in New England,let alone Fall River,
534
00:30:11,851 --> 00:30:16,771
is wearing a Patriots hat and hoodieand all kinds of gear,
535
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:21,186
and this is the one buildingin the region of New England
536
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:22,947
where none of that was allowed.
537
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:25,912
You have to understandat the moment,
538
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:29,660
people were so tied emotionally
to what had happened,
539
00:30:29,744 --> 00:30:33,044
and Aaron Hernandez
was an extremely popular player,
540
00:30:33,122 --> 00:30:35,292
so she had to take those precautions.
541
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:39,420
Miss Hernandez, what message
do you have for your son?
542
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:40,844
Do you have any messages for your son?
543
00:30:40,922 --> 00:30:42,422
Yes, Merry Christmas.
544
00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:44,841
Trial is right around the corner,
545
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:47,216
so try to comeas much as you can before trial.
546
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:50,350
Yeah.
547
00:30:52,058 --> 00:30:54,388
But I can't go every day, so...
548
00:30:54,936 --> 00:30:58,566
Yeah, I don't need youto go every day, know what I mean?
549
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:01,185
- But what's it called-- - I want to go in the beginning,
550
00:31:01,276 --> 00:31:03,236
so they know I support you.
551
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:05,149
And thenI'll have to watch it on TV.
552
00:31:05,238 --> 00:31:07,618
And when it gets rough towards the end,then I wanna go.
553
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:08,739
Yeah.
554
00:31:09,325 --> 00:31:10,235
You know?
555
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:14,002
As the trial was setto get underway,
556
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,750
it was hard to believe
that you were now on the eve
557
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:23,634
of a young professional football player
facing a murder charge.
558
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:30,102
All persons havinganything to do before the Honorable,
559
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:33,639
the justice E. Susan Garshof the Superior Court.
560
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,152
God save the Commonwealthof Massachusetts.
561
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:38,768
Court is now in session,
562
00:31:38,855 --> 00:31:39,895
be seated, please.
563
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:45,188
Case on trial today is
Commonwealth v. Aaron Hernandez.
564
00:31:45,278 --> 00:31:47,658
The Honorable E. Susan Garsh presiding.
565
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:49,029
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
566
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:50,025
Good morning.
567
00:31:50,116 --> 00:31:53,866
Members of the jury,
I am not going to forbid you,
568
00:31:53,953 --> 00:31:57,003
um, from watching the Super Bowl game,
569
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:00,921
but I am gonna ask you
to be especially vigilant.
570
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:04,212
You have to avoid, anything
571
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:07,717
that has anything to do
with this case or Mr. Hernandez.
572
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:11,430
Aaron Hernandez is an innocent man.
573
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:14,471
The evidence will show
574
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:18,564
that Aaron Hernandez did not murder
his friend Odin Lloyd
575
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:24,149
nor did he ask or orchestrate
anyone else to murder him.
576
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:30,620
Did the state really have enough evidence
to be able to convict him in this case?
577
00:32:30,698 --> 00:32:33,448
Prosecutors had to convince
these 12 people
578
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:36,002
that Aaron Hernandez is a killer.
579
00:32:39,415 --> 00:32:43,495
Ladies and gentlemen,
on June 16th of 2013,
580
00:32:43,586 --> 00:32:49,716
just after 9:00 p.m.,the defendant texted Odin Lloyd.
581
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:53,641
He told Odin Lloyd that he,
the defendant, Aaron Hernandez,
582
00:32:53,721 --> 00:32:55,561
was gonna come out
to his house that night.
583
00:33:01,688 --> 00:33:06,818
He also texted two of his friendswho were then in Connecticut,
584
00:33:07,527 --> 00:33:11,067
Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz.
585
00:33:16,869 --> 00:33:20,289
With the defendant driving the vehicle,
586
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:26,460
the three of them picked up Odin Lloydoutside his house in Boston
587
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,376
after 2:30 in the morning.
588
00:33:39,892 --> 00:33:43,812
Aaron is driving a rental car,it's late on a Sunday night.
589
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,570
For whatever reason,Odin sensed trouble with Aaron Hernandez.
590
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:49,690
Whatever had happenedbetween he and Aaron,
591
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:51,647
it was clear the dynamic had changed.
592
00:33:53,489 --> 00:33:57,329
Odin's concerned enough that as they're
driving back towards Aaron's house,
593
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:03,249
he texts his sister, "Do you knowwho I'm with? NFL. Just so you know."
594
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:07,587
He clearly is concernedabout his well-being at this point.
595
00:34:09,505 --> 00:34:11,165
With the defendant driving,
596
00:34:11,257 --> 00:34:16,507
they drove to a secluded,isolated area in North Attleboro,
597
00:34:18,097 --> 00:34:20,597
a town where Odin Lloyd knew no one
598
00:34:20,683 --> 00:34:25,693
but the defendant and the defendant's
fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins.
599
00:34:27,523 --> 00:34:31,033
There, Odin Lloyd was shot six times.
600
00:34:34,530 --> 00:34:38,200
One in his right forearm,
one in his right flank,
601
00:34:38,785 --> 00:34:42,115
two in his back,shot as if he was crouching down.
602
00:34:45,958 --> 00:34:49,298
Two projectiles were recovered
from his body.
603
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:54,509
Odin Lloyd had two
gunshot wounds to his chest.
604
00:34:55,093 --> 00:35:00,773
They went through... They went through him
as he laid on the ground.
605
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:08,895
If you had to describe Odin
to someone who had not met him before,
606
00:35:08,981 --> 00:35:10,441
what words would you use?
607
00:35:10,525 --> 00:35:11,475
Brother.
608
00:35:14,695 --> 00:35:19,865
Odin Lloyd, at the time of his death,
in June of 2013,
609
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,245
was 27 years old.
610
00:35:23,037 --> 00:35:25,707
He was born in the US Virgin Islands.
611
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:28,500
He moved to the city of Bostonwith his family
612
00:35:28,584 --> 00:35:30,714
at the age of three-and-a-half years old.
613
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:33,588
He lived at the time of his death
614
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:36,383
in the Dorchester sectionof the city of Boston
615
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:39,717
with his mother and his two sisters.
616
00:35:43,683 --> 00:35:45,813
My son is a wonderful child.
617
00:35:45,893 --> 00:35:47,523
He's a family guy.
618
00:35:47,603 --> 00:35:51,323
He has not done anything to hurt anyone.
619
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:56,356
Please, let me grieve my child in peace.
620
00:35:56,445 --> 00:35:58,155
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry for your loss.
621
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,569
And thank you for speaking with us!
622
00:36:00,533 --> 00:36:01,703
You know, unfortunately,
623
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:05,374
when a lot of these crimes happen
involving a high profile person,
624
00:36:05,454 --> 00:36:08,254
a lot of times, the victim
gets short shrift in the media.
625
00:36:08,332 --> 00:36:12,042
The initial, you know, stories aboutOdin Lloyd were rather, um, superficial.
626
00:36:12,128 --> 00:36:15,208
We didn't really know much about him.We just knew that he was from Dorchester.
627
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:18,675
Boston is gritty, man.
628
00:36:19,468 --> 00:36:22,258
We was coming up as kids backin the '80s and '90s, number one rule was
629
00:36:22,346 --> 00:36:24,556
either you a customer or you a hustler.
630
00:36:25,975 --> 00:36:29,015
Either you on the drugs or you selling
the drugs, or you somewhere around.
631
00:36:29,103 --> 00:36:31,233
If you ain't selling it,
then you helping the drug dealers,
632
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:32,734
you going to the store for them.
633
00:36:32,815 --> 00:36:35,775
Or you doing things that they can't do,'cause they can't leave the block.
634
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:40,031
Odin grew up in that.
635
00:36:41,824 --> 00:36:44,664
I mean, I literally had times where I'd be
dating a girl and come out her house,
636
00:36:44,744 --> 00:36:47,214
and I would have a gun stuck
to my neck 'cause I'm in the hallway
637
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:49,208
and dudes would be doing a drug deal
or something and they'd say,
638
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:50,630
"Who the fuck are you?"
639
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:52,708
And before I could even speak,
someone would crack the door,
640
00:36:52,793 --> 00:36:55,133
"Leave him alone!
He's just a football guy!"
641
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:56,383
And they'd be like, "That's right!
642
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:58,134
You played against my cousin
two weeks ago!
643
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,836
You had 100 yards and three touchdowns.
644
00:36:59,926 --> 00:37:01,926
My fault, man. Yo! I saw that game!"
645
00:37:02,011 --> 00:37:04,101
And I'm like, "Thank you, football,
thank you, football."
646
00:37:05,431 --> 00:37:06,721
Football is big to me.
647
00:37:06,807 --> 00:37:10,347
That's why I continue to play semi-pro,and that's where me and Odin connected.
648
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:13,476
Coach Mike Branch found the way,put us all together
649
00:37:13,564 --> 00:37:16,484
and just used footballto, like, connect and say,
650
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:18,817
"Shit's fucked up, but we got each other."
651
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:24,994
We pay tribute
to a fallen teammate, brother, and friend,
652
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:27,696
number 53, Odin Lloyd.
653
00:37:28,788 --> 00:37:29,908
Helmets up, gentlemen.
654
00:37:29,997 --> 00:37:32,577
If you need something, please call on us,
655
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,997
and we'll be offended
if you don't call on us.
656
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:36,381
We loved him.
657
00:37:36,462 --> 00:37:38,972
He was like a little brother to me,
so it's just tough.
658
00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:41,128
You try to play the game in his memory,
659
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:42,967
because that's what
he would want us to do.
660
00:37:43,970 --> 00:37:46,060
We both played the same position,
outside linebacker,
661
00:37:46,138 --> 00:37:49,638
so me and him would talk
hours and hours after practice.
662
00:37:50,142 --> 00:37:53,152
First it would be football, and then
it would be something subtle like,
663
00:37:53,229 --> 00:37:55,399
"Man, I don't know
how you do it with these kids, man.
664
00:37:55,982 --> 00:37:57,782
One day I'mma have me some kids, too."
665
00:37:58,359 --> 00:38:00,949
It almost was likehe was modeling his life.
666
00:38:01,028 --> 00:38:04,488
Have kids, get a good job,try to get a house,
667
00:38:04,573 --> 00:38:05,953
take care of your family.
668
00:38:06,826 --> 00:38:08,616
Odin and I areonly two years apart,
669
00:38:08,703 --> 00:38:12,333
so we've been together
since I could remember.
670
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:16,915
Um, he's always been
a protector, a provider.
671
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:20,302
I'm gonna missjust him being a big brother.
672
00:38:20,381 --> 00:38:23,591
He did everythingthat a big brother would do.
673
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:30,600
The people in Roxbury,Dorchester, Mattapan,
674
00:38:30,683 --> 00:38:31,773
Odin was our celebrity.
675
00:38:31,851 --> 00:38:35,561
Hernandez was nobody to us,so the way we look at it is different.
676
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:36,976
Odin had everything.
677
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:42,362
To me, Odin was rich, Hernandez was poor,
678
00:38:42,445 --> 00:38:44,855
'cause if Hernandez was as rich as Odin
with love and care,
679
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:46,907
he would have never have been
in those positions.
680
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:51,447
I rememberour first date.
681
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:57,747
We went to the movies,
and he was a perfect gentleman.
682
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:02,132
I feel like half of me is missing.
683
00:39:02,798 --> 00:39:04,758
I'm not whole without him.
684
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:13,978
Yeah, it was just...
really difficult.
685
00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:21,532
So, you walkinto the courtroom each day
686
00:39:21,609 --> 00:39:25,399
and to your right was Shaneah Jenkins,girlfriend of Odin Lloyd,
687
00:39:25,488 --> 00:39:29,328
to the left was Shayanna Jenkins,fiancée of Aaron Hernandez.
688
00:39:29,825 --> 00:39:32,285
Two sisters brought into that room
689
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:36,120
by two men that
they had relationships with,
690
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:38,957
and one was accused of killing the other.
691
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,423
Your sister, Shaneah,
is she older or younger than you are?
692
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:44,915
- Younger.
- Are you close as sisters?
693
00:39:49,762 --> 00:39:51,432
Have you been in the past, then?
694
00:39:55,768 --> 00:40:00,478
I... I mean we've... Estranged, kind of.
695
00:40:02,650 --> 00:40:04,320
Shayanna Jenkinsand Shaneah Jenkins
696
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:09,322
grew up in a single-parent householdin Bristol, were very, very close.
697
00:40:10,574 --> 00:40:13,414
Shayanna had movedto North Attleboro with Aaron,
698
00:40:13,494 --> 00:40:17,084
Shaneah was dating Odin Lloyd,who was up in Boston.
699
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,076
They were gonna be closer than ever.
700
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:27,474
Yet, despite this, when it came time
to choose your sister or your fiancé,
701
00:40:27,550 --> 00:40:29,390
Shayanna stuck with Aaron Hernandez.
702
00:40:30,553 --> 00:40:35,023
At some point, were you awakened
later in the night or early morning hours?
703
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:35,929
Yes.
704
00:40:36,016 --> 00:40:38,846
And, um, how were you awakened?
705
00:40:38,936 --> 00:40:40,226
By a phone call.
706
00:40:40,312 --> 00:40:43,232
And approximately how long
did that call last?
707
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:46,855
Maybe ten... fifteen minutes.
708
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:50,156
And did you learn something
at that time?
709
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:52,198
- Yes.
- And what did you learn?
710
00:40:57,955 --> 00:40:59,535
That Odin was dead.
711
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:11,432
During the trial,they often showed a lot of the footage
712
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:13,390
from Aaron Hernandez's house.
713
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:17,681
The cameras caught Shaneah Jenkinsand Shayanna, hugging each other.
714
00:41:17,766 --> 00:41:21,306
This was right after Shaneah had found outthat her boyfriend had been killed
715
00:41:21,395 --> 00:41:23,725
and Shayanna's, um, comforting her,
716
00:41:24,273 --> 00:41:29,653
and they're holding each other and it...was for several, several seconds.
717
00:41:35,534 --> 00:41:39,374
Shayanna Jenkins' loyalty toAaron Hernandez is something to behold.
718
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:44,380
Aaron was accusedof murdering her sister's boyfriend,
719
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:47,959
and yet, she never wavered with Aaron.
720
00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:56,346
When the defendant and Carlos Ortiz
and Ernest Wallace left from that spot,
721
00:41:57,139 --> 00:42:01,889
when they left Odin Lloyd there,they left evidence at the scene,
722
00:42:01,977 --> 00:42:04,397
they took evidence with them,
723
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,730
they created evidenceof their cooperative effort,
724
00:42:07,816 --> 00:42:13,196
and they tried to and in some caseswere successful in destroying evidence.
725
00:42:16,033 --> 00:42:17,663
When police askedto see footage
726
00:42:17,743 --> 00:42:21,083
from Hernandez's high-techmansion security system,
727
00:42:21,163 --> 00:42:24,083
they learned the security systemhad been destroyed.
728
00:42:24,166 --> 00:42:28,626
He erases some security tape,but not all of it.
729
00:42:29,255 --> 00:42:33,545
He leaves some for themto eventually get on a search warrant.
730
00:42:33,634 --> 00:42:36,604
These new court papersindicate that police got suspicious
731
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:39,679
after learning some information from,of all people,
732
00:42:39,765 --> 00:42:42,055
the sister of Hernandez's fiancée.
733
00:42:43,894 --> 00:42:44,774
Hello?
734
00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:46,194
Yeah.
735
00:42:46,272 --> 00:42:47,692
What'd you do today?
736
00:42:48,274 --> 00:42:51,654
Nothing, Aaron. I was involvedin a search warrant again today.
737
00:42:51,735 --> 00:42:53,145
That's what I did today.
738
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,857
I know, I heard about that.But why are you giving attitude?
739
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:59,793
Because I'm frustratedwith you and everybody else.
740
00:42:59,868 --> 00:43:01,198
Why me?
741
00:43:01,287 --> 00:43:04,537
'Cause I wouldn't bein this situation if it wasn't for you!
742
00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:07,496
- All right.- That's why!
743
00:43:07,585 --> 00:43:09,125
All right.Well, I'll call back tomorrow
744
00:43:09,211 --> 00:43:11,761
unless my daughter'sgonna get on the phone.
745
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:13,969
Don't... Wait, how are yougonna catch an attitude with me,
746
00:43:14,049 --> 00:43:15,009
and not wanna talk,
747
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:16,972
because I'm sitting here,and I'm keeping it real.
748
00:43:17,052 --> 00:43:18,432
All right, well,you still have your freedom.
749
00:43:18,512 --> 00:43:20,262
What are you stressing about?
750
00:43:20,347 --> 00:43:21,467
Aaron, whatever.
751
00:43:21,557 --> 00:43:24,437
I always end up cleaning upafter your shit. Whatever.
752
00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:27,019
The personyou called has hung up.
753
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:34,820
In the exact timeit would take to drive
754
00:43:34,903 --> 00:43:37,703
from the industrial parkto Aaron's driveway,
755
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:44,660
it shows he, Ortiz, and Wallace pulling upto their house just after the murder.
756
00:43:45,581 --> 00:43:50,171
If Aaron Hernandez had just erased
the security tape in his own house,
757
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:51,592
he might have had a chance.
758
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:57,640
That videotape shows him walking aroundhis house holding what looks like a gun.
759
00:43:58,886 --> 00:44:00,926
I'm just gonnahave you look at this item
760
00:44:01,013 --> 00:44:04,893
and ask you if you recognize that item.
761
00:44:06,852 --> 00:44:07,692
No.
762
00:44:09,146 --> 00:44:10,016
I mean, you...
763
00:44:10,105 --> 00:44:11,645
I can't see the full item.
764
00:44:11,732 --> 00:44:13,612
It's not depicted here, so...
765
00:44:15,903 --> 00:44:17,363
Does that assist you
at all, ma'am?
766
00:44:17,446 --> 00:44:21,446
I mean, only a black blob
it looks like right now.
767
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:26,457
The prosecution feels likeit has a very strong case,
768
00:44:26,538 --> 00:44:30,878
but there is one issue remaining,they do not have the murder weapon.
769
00:44:31,418 --> 00:44:33,628
You know, they want to knowwhere the murder weapon is now.
770
00:44:33,712 --> 00:44:37,472
This is the focal point
of the whole investigation.
771
00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:39,260
They're searching everything.
772
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:43,262
They've got police investigatorsin scuba gear.
773
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:48,562
Did the fiancée of fallenfootball star Aaron Hernandez
774
00:44:48,644 --> 00:44:50,774
help him hide a murder weapon?
775
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:53,944
It's a possibility policeare apparently considering
776
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:57,494
as they desperately try to finda.45 caliber gun
777
00:44:57,569 --> 00:45:00,239
used to kill Odin Lloyd on Father's Day.
778
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:05,985
You know, I sat a row behind,
Shayanna for the first trial.
779
00:45:06,078 --> 00:45:07,958
Appeared fine and classy,
780
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,998
and she's reading her fashion magazineswhile she's in the gallery there.
781
00:45:12,084 --> 00:45:15,304
So, she played itas perfectly as she could.
782
00:45:16,046 --> 00:45:17,966
A cryptic message that was sent
783
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:21,548
from Hernandez to his fiancéethat reads in part,
784
00:45:21,635 --> 00:45:24,175
"Go in the back of the screenin the movie room.
785
00:45:24,263 --> 00:45:27,523
There is a box just in caseyou were looking for it."
786
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,390
Now, about an hourafter that text message,
787
00:45:30,477 --> 00:45:34,437
documents state the fiancée is seenon home surveillance video
788
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:36,653
leaving the house with a trash bag,
789
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:42,454
and allegedly inside of that bag wasa rigid object the size of a gun lockbox.
790
00:45:43,532 --> 00:45:45,372
The video evidencewould suggest
791
00:45:45,451 --> 00:45:48,621
that she helped to spirit the weaponout of the house,
792
00:45:48,704 --> 00:45:51,674
and then she's asked,"Where'd you put it?"
793
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:55,504
And during that time,
did you do anything with the box
794
00:45:55,586 --> 00:45:57,756
that was in the bag
that was in the trunk of the car?
795
00:45:57,838 --> 00:45:58,668
I did.
796
00:45:58,756 --> 00:46:00,716
- And what did you do with it?
- I disposed of it.
797
00:46:00,799 --> 00:46:04,599
And when you say you disposed
of it, where did you dispose of it?
798
00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:06,095
Um, in a dumpster.
799
00:46:06,847 --> 00:46:08,387
And where was the dumpster?
800
00:46:08,682 --> 00:46:09,732
I don't know.
801
00:46:11,643 --> 00:46:15,813
So, then, it's a question of,
is she being purposely obtuse,
802
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:21,238
or is she somebody
who genuinely forgets things like that?
803
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,570
Okay, so there's...
804
00:46:22,654 --> 00:46:26,244
Just in fairness, there's certain things
you remember and other things you don't.
805
00:46:26,992 --> 00:46:27,872
Yes.
806
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:32,706
So, it just neverall made sense.
807
00:46:33,332 --> 00:46:35,462
The jury found it laughable.
808
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:39,553
No matter what she said,they weren't gonna believe much of it
809
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:41,470
because she doesn't seem credible.
810
00:46:42,090 --> 00:46:45,180
There was nothing that suggestedshe was ever gonna give up Aaron.
811
00:46:46,345 --> 00:46:49,255
Tell us howyour relationship started.
812
00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:54,694
Um, in high school,
we had a couple classes together,
813
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:56,440
so our relationship kind of evolved.
814
00:46:57,397 --> 00:46:59,017
And how did it evolve?
815
00:46:59,316 --> 00:47:02,526
We would talk a lot more,
816
00:47:02,611 --> 00:47:06,201
pass notes back and forth, um,
talk on the phone.
817
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,740
When you lookat junior year,
818
00:47:09,827 --> 00:47:13,657
it was a buildupto what I would call "best friends."
819
00:47:13,747 --> 00:47:16,957
The first day of school,
my dad was a correctional officer,
820
00:47:17,042 --> 00:47:18,672
so he was already at work.
821
00:47:18,752 --> 00:47:22,882
Aaron came over and we did...
We smoked two blunts,
822
00:47:22,965 --> 00:47:26,295
we got my dog high,
and we walked right up to the school,
823
00:47:26,385 --> 00:47:28,845
first day of school, like king shit.
824
00:47:28,929 --> 00:47:32,099
Quarterback, tight end, stone happy.
825
00:47:33,141 --> 00:47:35,601
We used to horseplay, that was our thing.
826
00:47:35,686 --> 00:47:38,396
We used to love horseplaying
and having fun with each other,
827
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,780
because we were just kids full of life.
828
00:47:43,777 --> 00:47:46,067
Aaron and I had an on-and-off relationship
829
00:47:46,154 --> 00:47:48,784
from the 7th gradeto the Junior year of high school.
830
00:47:49,992 --> 00:47:52,742
Aaron participated with many people.
831
00:47:52,828 --> 00:47:56,918
I was a small piece
of Aaron's sexual activity.
832
00:47:59,918 --> 00:48:01,128
At that time frame,
833
00:48:01,211 --> 00:48:04,671
the girls didn't really hang outwith the boys after school, um,
834
00:48:04,756 --> 00:48:08,716
so me and Aaron experimented
and it was something that,
835
00:48:09,344 --> 00:48:13,934
I'll be honest with, we continued
because we probably enjoyed it.
836
00:48:14,016 --> 00:48:14,846
Um, hello.
837
00:48:17,185 --> 00:48:22,185
If I look at it now in the year we're in,yes, we were in a relationship back then,
838
00:48:22,274 --> 00:48:25,574
but at the time...
you don't look at it like that.
839
00:48:29,197 --> 00:48:32,577
In school, there wasn't a lot of kidsthat were out of the closet,
840
00:48:32,659 --> 00:48:38,619
and the few that were, I used to feel
like, "Golly, like, what a homo."
841
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:41,587
Here I am, the football player,
I was in such denial.
842
00:48:41,668 --> 00:48:43,838
Such denial because I was an athlete.
843
00:48:44,504 --> 00:48:49,684
"You mean to tell me thatthe quarterback and the tight end was gay?
844
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,350
He sleeps with other men?"
845
00:48:52,012 --> 00:48:54,602
No. It doesn't sit right with people,
846
00:48:54,681 --> 00:48:57,891
it doesn't sit right
within our own stomach at that time.
847
00:49:00,812 --> 00:49:04,402
It was weird, it was like, after doing it,it was like, "Fuck this.
848
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:06,033
Does... Did someone catch us?
849
00:49:06,109 --> 00:49:07,819
Did... Did someone know?
850
00:49:09,988 --> 00:49:14,828
Dude, if we get caught, like, it's ruined.
Like, our parents are gonna disown us."
851
00:49:16,828 --> 00:49:20,118
I was a young father,fresh out of the Marine Corps,
852
00:49:20,207 --> 00:49:27,047
a corrections officer, coaching footballwith two all-American boys.
853
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:31,590
If I told you that I didn't want
both of my sons to be heterosexual,
854
00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:33,047
I'd be lying to you.
855
00:49:33,136 --> 00:49:38,226
I... I would say that I feel terrible
856
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:41,018
for the way you must have felt
at that age.
857
00:49:41,103 --> 00:49:44,823
If there's any blame or shame
to be put here, it's on me.
858
00:49:45,607 --> 00:49:49,987
I was homophobic just as muchas Mr. Hernandez was.
859
00:49:51,196 --> 00:49:53,946
Aaron was extremelyterrified of his father finding out.
860
00:49:54,032 --> 00:49:58,662
I mean, Mr. Hernandezwas well known as a man's man,
861
00:49:58,745 --> 00:50:01,995
a father that slapped the faggot
right out of you.
862
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:05,213
As DJ Hernandezwrites in his book,
863
00:50:05,293 --> 00:50:09,013
there was a time Aaron,inspired by his female cousins,
864
00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:10,799
wanted to become a cheerleader.
865
00:50:11,883 --> 00:50:14,473
Dennis Hernandezput an end to that very quickly.
866
00:50:15,929 --> 00:50:19,099
I rememberwhen Aaron's dad was ever around,
867
00:50:19,182 --> 00:50:21,102
Aaron would kinda whisper, like,
868
00:50:21,184 --> 00:50:22,814
"I better be good right now."
869
00:50:22,894 --> 00:50:26,824
He knew he had to be on a different setof behavior around his father,
870
00:50:26,898 --> 00:50:29,818
and I was very similar,
so it was something that
871
00:50:29,901 --> 00:50:33,241
we just had the ability
to turn it on and turn it off.
872
00:50:33,321 --> 00:50:35,781
We had to hide what we were.
873
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:43,080
I started playing football in high school
mainly because of influence from my dad.
874
00:50:44,499 --> 00:50:48,209
I learned pretty quicklythat people, especially in my town,
875
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:52,545
would never look at a masculine
football player and think he's gay.
876
00:50:52,632 --> 00:50:55,552
So, by the time I hit puberty,
I knew I was gay,
877
00:50:56,136 --> 00:51:00,386
um, and then that quickly made me realize
878
00:51:00,474 --> 00:51:02,984
I had to suppress that
as much as possible.
879
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:06,309
So, my beard was football.
880
00:51:07,105 --> 00:51:11,315
Just in general, football isa very masculine sport
881
00:51:11,401 --> 00:51:14,821
and I relied on all the stereotypesof a football player.
882
00:51:15,447 --> 00:51:20,197
Just a lot of testosterone and theaggressiveness and hitting each other,
883
00:51:20,285 --> 00:51:22,615
all these things that you would assume
884
00:51:22,704 --> 00:51:25,504
middle America wouldn't thinkof a gay man.
885
00:51:26,666 --> 00:51:30,586
You hear things from everybody,
family, your buddies,
886
00:51:30,670 --> 00:51:32,920
people throw around the word "faggot"
like it's nothing.
887
00:51:33,507 --> 00:51:38,717
Whether they're being hateful about it or
calling something "gay" like people do,
888
00:51:39,846 --> 00:51:42,556
when you're in the closet,
you associate all that negatively.
889
00:51:44,226 --> 00:51:46,806
I even, trying to fit in,would say those things.
890
00:51:46,895 --> 00:51:50,605
So, I don't think anyoneever thought twice that
891
00:51:51,316 --> 00:51:52,436
I could have been gay.
892
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,280
You got some flamboyant faggotswalking around.
893
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:00,412
Well, they want you?
894
00:52:00,492 --> 00:52:03,292
Yeah, well,they don't fucking look at me.
895
00:52:04,246 --> 00:52:05,746
That's crazy if they're out there.
896
00:52:06,248 --> 00:52:08,828
That they just go around,because... And prance it.
897
00:52:08,917 --> 00:52:10,167
You know what I mean?Just let it out.
898
00:52:10,252 --> 00:52:11,712
Yeah, it's just ridiculous.
899
00:52:11,795 --> 00:52:14,835
And people talk to them, like,what the fuck are you talking to them for?
900
00:52:15,674 --> 00:52:17,344
Well, that's who they are.What are you gonna do?
901
00:52:17,425 --> 00:52:20,385
You're gay, or you do this,you do that. What are you gonna do?
902
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:25,230
Well, it's just, like,overly done, like ridiculous.
903
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:27,808
Yeah, I know.They really think they're women.
904
00:52:27,894 --> 00:52:29,404
One hundred percent.
905
00:52:30,355 --> 00:52:33,435
People in the gay community
use the slang term "beard."
906
00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:37,645
Um, a beard is for a man...
907
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:41,775
For a gay man, a beard would be
the female you date
908
00:52:42,784 --> 00:52:46,124
as a cover for your sexuality.
909
00:52:47,581 --> 00:52:49,541
I think all closeted guysgo through that stage
910
00:52:49,624 --> 00:52:52,964
where you have to make a decisionon what you do,
911
00:52:53,044 --> 00:52:56,264
what you're willing...What you're willing to risk, um,
912
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:58,429
how important it is to you to...
913
00:53:03,555 --> 00:53:05,265
be true to yourself, in a way.
914
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:09,896
I think Aaron, for instance, had the girlthat he had the baby with.
915
00:53:09,978 --> 00:53:11,938
A lot of gay guys go that route,
916
00:53:12,731 --> 00:53:16,861
but they just haven't been honestwith their partner,
917
00:53:16,943 --> 00:53:19,613
and it's unfortunate and it's sad that...
918
00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:25,196
The extremes that some people feel theyhave to go through just to try to hide.
919
00:53:27,245 --> 00:53:31,415
At some point in high school,
did his dad die?
920
00:53:31,499 --> 00:53:32,419
He did.
921
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:34,420
Okay. Tell us what happened.
922
00:53:34,502 --> 00:53:35,842
Objection, Your Honor.
923
00:53:35,921 --> 00:53:37,011
Sustained.
924
00:53:37,088 --> 00:53:40,968
You recall that he died while
he was having surgery in the hospital?
925
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:42,221
Objection, Your Honor.
926
00:53:42,302 --> 00:53:43,302
Overruled.
927
00:53:43,386 --> 00:53:44,216
Yes.
928
00:53:44,846 --> 00:53:46,886
And Aaron was 16 at the time?
929
00:53:47,432 --> 00:53:48,272
He was.
930
00:53:53,855 --> 00:53:57,855
My mother had called meand told me what happened.
931
00:53:59,486 --> 00:54:00,946
It shocked us all.
932
00:54:01,029 --> 00:54:05,029
This wasn't cancer
or this wasn't something slow coming,
933
00:54:05,116 --> 00:54:08,246
I mean, this was routine hernia surgerythat he came out dead.
934
00:54:10,914 --> 00:54:13,794
At that point,all I could think about was,
935
00:54:13,875 --> 00:54:16,165
"Get in touch with Aaron.Get in touch with Aaron."
936
00:54:20,882 --> 00:54:22,592
I wanted him to be around someone
937
00:54:22,676 --> 00:54:26,346
that he knew cared about him,cared about his father.
938
00:54:27,347 --> 00:54:32,057
I was able to pick him up
and we kinda just drove aimlessly
939
00:54:32,143 --> 00:54:36,863
through all of Bristol and the surrounding
cities for probably about three hours.
940
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:44,239
There really wasn't evena lot of conversation,
941
00:54:44,322 --> 00:54:46,832
it was just being there for him,
942
00:54:46,908 --> 00:54:50,658
just feeling his energyon how much he was hurting.
943
00:54:55,625 --> 00:55:00,125
When the news camethat Dennis Hernandez had passed away,
944
00:55:00,213 --> 00:55:04,093
it was an absolute, utter shock
to the entire community.
945
00:55:05,593 --> 00:55:10,643
I never have been to a wakewith the amount of people that were there.
946
00:55:12,726 --> 00:55:17,896
It was a day in January, and it wasfreezing cold and windy, windy.
947
00:55:20,191 --> 00:55:24,321
And the line was wrapped aroundthe O'Brien Funeral Home,
948
00:55:24,404 --> 00:55:28,334
and I waited in line for two-and-a-half
hours to pay my respects.
949
00:55:31,995 --> 00:55:33,035
When I saw himat the wake,
950
00:55:33,121 --> 00:55:35,421
it was like lookinginto a new person's eyes.
951
00:55:35,498 --> 00:55:36,918
Something had changed.
952
00:55:37,751 --> 00:55:39,001
I just couldn't believe it.
953
00:55:39,085 --> 00:55:42,915
It was a guy who had no emotion
at his own father's wake.
954
00:55:44,966 --> 00:55:48,926
And I instantly said to myselfafter I left that funeral home,
955
00:55:50,263 --> 00:55:52,973
"This is not good. This is not good.
956
00:55:53,058 --> 00:55:57,348
Aaron is not gonna take this well at all,
957
00:55:57,437 --> 00:56:01,067
because him and his father
were so, so close."
958
00:56:02,317 --> 00:56:03,937
I had to say, I think it was
959
00:56:04,027 --> 00:56:07,447
the turning point of everythingin Aaron's life.
960
00:56:09,324 --> 00:56:12,874
When Dennis was there, Aaron mirrored him,
961
00:56:12,952 --> 00:56:15,252
and that's where you get
a lot of those similarities.
962
00:56:16,623 --> 00:56:18,423
What's gonna happen next now, you know?
963
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:22,840
It's when you have someone who's thatrock, who you can go to for everything,
964
00:56:22,921 --> 00:56:24,801
who's that role model for you,
965
00:56:24,881 --> 00:56:27,841
someone that can setyour foundation of values
966
00:56:27,926 --> 00:56:31,386
to make sure that you're gonna bea good man, a good father,
967
00:56:31,471 --> 00:56:34,681
and a good member of the communityand now that's all gone.
968
00:56:39,020 --> 00:56:43,070
Nothing dishonorableabout your father passing away, right?
969
00:56:43,149 --> 00:56:44,899
Nothing shameful about that.
970
00:56:45,485 --> 00:56:47,145
Nothing to be embarrassed about.
971
00:56:48,405 --> 00:56:51,945
Sad, mourn, yes, all of that.
972
00:56:53,368 --> 00:56:56,868
Would have been nice if he had a mother
that could have mourned with him.
973
00:56:57,497 --> 00:57:00,417
Instead, she chose to...
974
00:57:02,210 --> 00:57:07,380
engage in a relationship
with Tanya's husband.
975
00:57:09,884 --> 00:57:12,474
I mean, to deal withthe death of your father is one thing,
976
00:57:13,221 --> 00:57:17,811
but to deal with the fact that your mother
then goes out within a matter of months
977
00:57:17,892 --> 00:57:23,652
and has a relationshipwith a family member's husband,
978
00:57:23,731 --> 00:57:26,991
and he goes then to live in Aaron's house!
979
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:30,105
Let me tell you something...
980
00:57:30,989 --> 00:57:32,069
a young man...
981
00:57:33,116 --> 00:57:35,026
...Aaron's age?
982
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,245
You don't want to wake up
on Sunday morning
983
00:57:41,207 --> 00:57:45,547
and see some other dude
making bacon in his underwear
984
00:57:46,546 --> 00:57:48,006
in your house.
985
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:51,719
Sleeping in your father's bed.
986
00:57:53,428 --> 00:57:58,218
So this must have thrown himinto such a tizzy, I can't even imagine.
987
00:58:00,268 --> 00:58:02,728
You made decisions,that... There's...
988
00:58:03,354 --> 00:58:06,324
You don't, like... They're the worst.
989
00:58:06,399 --> 00:58:09,489
I don't put you down,and you fucked my whole life up.
990
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,200
You don't put me down,but I fucked your whole life up?
991
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:13,410
I ain't living with that.
992
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:14,530
You did!
993
00:58:14,616 --> 00:58:15,946
It is, but I forgave you
994
00:58:16,034 --> 00:58:17,334
- and it's over with!- No, no...
995
00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:18,410
Yes, you did!
996
00:58:18,495 --> 00:58:21,035
I was the happiestfucking little kid in the world,
997
00:58:21,122 --> 00:58:22,462
and you fucked me up.
998
00:58:23,082 --> 00:58:24,922
And I just lost my father.
999
00:58:25,001 --> 00:58:26,791
And I had to go to college.
1000
00:58:26,878 --> 00:58:28,708
And I had nobody.
1001
00:58:28,796 --> 00:58:30,666
What the fuckdid you think I was gonna do?
1002
00:58:30,757 --> 00:58:32,507
Become a perfect angel?
1003
00:58:32,592 --> 00:58:33,592
My God...
1004
00:58:33,676 --> 00:58:34,886
If I was with you right now,
1005
00:58:34,969 --> 00:58:37,009
I would've probably punchedthe shit out of you, like...
1006
00:58:37,096 --> 00:58:38,006
I don't even know why...
1007
00:58:38,097 --> 00:58:40,477
You bring me to this level.
1008
00:58:42,143 --> 00:58:45,193
After Tanya left Jeff Cummings,
1009
00:58:45,271 --> 00:58:51,241
what effect, if any, did that have
on Aaron's relationship with Tanya?
1010
00:58:51,319 --> 00:58:52,699
It brought them closer.
1011
00:58:52,987 --> 00:58:54,157
In what respect?
1012
00:58:55,198 --> 00:58:57,948
Very close, like,
she was like a Mom figure to him,
1013
00:58:58,034 --> 00:59:00,124
and she was... He was like a son to her.
1014
00:59:02,205 --> 00:59:06,415
Because of this, Aarondoesn't want to even be in his house,
1015
00:59:06,501 --> 00:59:12,841
so he now goes to spend most of his timeover there at the cousin's house.
1016
00:59:14,759 --> 00:59:16,839
Aaron was able to be
1017
00:59:16,928 --> 00:59:21,098
someone that he wasn't able to beat his house over there.
1018
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,850
He had a very structured upbringing
1019
00:59:25,937 --> 00:59:28,817
when Dennis Hernandez
was running his boyhood home.
1020
00:59:28,898 --> 00:59:33,438
Over at Tanya's house, there wasmore partying, there was more smoking,
1021
00:59:33,528 --> 00:59:35,148
there were more unsavory characters
1022
00:59:35,238 --> 00:59:38,658
that you wouldn't necessarily wanta 16-year-old to hang around with.
1023
00:59:39,158 --> 00:59:43,578
At 114 Lake Avenue, Aaronmeets Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace.
1024
00:59:44,330 --> 00:59:46,920
These guys were familiarwith prison and prison life
1025
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,670
and what leads you to prison,
1026
00:59:48,751 --> 00:59:50,921
and that's what Aaron Hernandezwas exposed to,
1027
00:59:51,004 --> 00:59:54,804
and really sought in the yearsafter his father died.
1028
00:59:56,009 --> 01:00:01,469
Did you know Ernest Wallace
and Carlos Ortiz to use any drugs?
1029
01:00:01,556 --> 01:00:02,636
- Yes.
- Okay.
1030
01:00:02,724 --> 01:00:04,734
And did you ever see them use any drugs?
1031
01:00:04,809 --> 01:00:05,639
Yes.
1032
01:00:05,727 --> 01:00:07,267
What kind of drugsdid you see, then?
1033
01:00:07,353 --> 01:00:09,403
Um, marijuana.
1034
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:13,320
They would smoke what you call,like, a blunt filled with PCP.
1035
01:00:15,570 --> 01:00:18,360
Sources say thatMassachusetts investigators believe
1036
01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:21,118
that Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace
1037
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,000
went directly to the Lake Avenuehome in Bristol
1038
01:00:24,078 --> 01:00:27,288
after the alleged murder of Odin Lloydin North Attleboro.
1039
01:00:28,291 --> 01:00:31,591
Because of that, police startedto focus on that house.
1040
01:00:33,046 --> 01:00:35,336
We learned the policewere searching the house
1041
01:00:35,423 --> 01:00:38,433
of Aaron's cousin, Tanya Singleton.
1042
01:00:38,509 --> 01:00:41,139
And while they were conducting the search,
1043
01:00:41,679 --> 01:00:44,969
of course, everyone's parked outside
to see what's going on.
1044
01:00:45,767 --> 01:00:49,647
The police are seen
loading up a silver SUV
1045
01:00:50,438 --> 01:00:56,148
from inside the garageonto a flatbed truck and taking it away.
1046
01:00:56,861 --> 01:01:01,451
We learned through police sourcesthat the SUV
1047
01:01:01,949 --> 01:01:05,749
was actually a car that the Boston Police,
different police department,
1048
01:01:05,828 --> 01:01:07,078
had been looking for
1049
01:01:07,163 --> 01:01:12,003
in connection with an unsolveddouble murder case from Boston.
1050
01:01:16,964 --> 01:01:19,634
Safiro Furtadoand Daniel de Abreu
1051
01:01:19,717 --> 01:01:21,387
were hardworking immigrantsfrom Cape Verde.
1052
01:01:21,469 --> 01:01:23,719
They worked two jobs cleaning at night.
1053
01:01:25,682 --> 01:01:28,602
Had been found shot and killed
outside of a nightclub
1054
01:01:28,685 --> 01:01:30,015
in the Theater District of Boston.
1055
01:01:31,938 --> 01:01:35,528
The car was shot upafter they left the nightclub
1056
01:01:36,025 --> 01:01:41,565
and that witnesses remember seeing
a silver SUV speeding away from the scene,
1057
01:01:42,365 --> 01:01:45,275
and they hadn't been ableto find the silver SUV.
1058
01:01:46,953 --> 01:01:49,583
The detectives called me to tell me
1059
01:01:49,664 --> 01:01:53,634
that the car had actually been found
in Aaron Hernandez's cousin's garage,
1060
01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:57,510
hidden, covered with cobwebs,hadn't been used in a year.
1061
01:01:58,756 --> 01:02:00,046
This is unbelievable.
1062
01:02:00,550 --> 01:02:05,010
Actually have the murder car in his house,
it was, um, pretty compelling.
1063
01:02:06,764 --> 01:02:10,024
The Suffolk CountyGrand Jury returned indictments
1064
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:15,402
charging Aaron Hernandez
with two counts of first-degree murder
1065
01:02:15,481 --> 01:02:20,361
for the shooting deaths
of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.
1066
01:02:21,279 --> 01:02:23,949
When the victim's carstopped at a red light,
1067
01:02:24,031 --> 01:02:28,411
the SUV pulled up besidethe victim's car on the right.
1068
01:02:28,911 --> 01:02:34,131
Aaron Hernandez then fireda.38 caliber revolver multiple times
1069
01:02:34,208 --> 01:02:36,838
from the driver side of his vehicle
1070
01:02:36,919 --> 01:02:40,549
into the passenger sideof the victim's vehicle.
1071
01:02:42,925 --> 01:02:48,715
This double murder that Hernandez is now
indicted for happened in July of 2012.
1072
01:02:48,806 --> 01:02:54,476
About a month later, he signed a five-year$40 million contract with the Patriots.
1073
01:02:55,605 --> 01:03:00,355
That would've meant,
if the evidence is proven in court,
1074
01:03:01,277 --> 01:03:06,697
that he would have shotand killed two men in Boston
1075
01:03:07,784 --> 01:03:11,834
and then went on to playa whole season of football.
1076
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,540
How does someone do that?
