got it right? the prosecution in no way proved that Hernandez pulled the trigger.  I'm not saying hes innocent, I just don't think the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

In Massachusetts, they don't have to prove he pulled the trigger. All they have to prove is he was actively involved his murder, and they did. Each person involved in a murder can be charged with first degree murder, regardless of if they actually killed the person or not.

Proven doesn't not equal proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Meaning you don't need a 5 hour video of the time he woke up all the way until he killed someone to get him convicted.

You just need it to be obvious, you need for the explanation of what happens to match up with all the evidence. Lawyers can twist it around and that's how people who obviously did something go free. And at the same time, it can also be why innocents are convicted. However, the premise works. There are casualties of the system, obviously but nothing is perfect. You can't require too much 'proof' to convict someone because it makes it easier and easier for an offender to cover their tracks.

'Beyond a reasonable doubt' is what is needed and despite there not being much hard evidence, the facts and people revolving around the case it's obvious beyond a reasonable doubt he was guilty. I'm not sure why people think you need all this proof to convict someone, it doesn't work like that. You just need evidence that adds up, beyond a reasonable doubt (that's obvious) to a conclusion.

Kraft's testimony played a role...

Kraft testified under oath that he spoke with Hernandez when reports first surfaced of Lloyd’s death, and that Hernandez had given Kraft an assurance that he was not involved. Hernandez claimed to Kraft that he had been inside a club at the time that Lloyd was killed, which sounds like a good alibi — except that it raised questions in the minds of jurors as to how, exactly, Hernandez could have known what time Lloyd was killed.

“One part, for me, was Aaron’s alleged statement that . . . he was at a club at that time,” one juror said. “We still don’t know the exact time of Odin’s murder, specifically. So I don’t know how Aaron would have had that information two years ago. Even today, after medical examiners’ review, we still don’t have that information.”

Jurors believe that Hernandez knew what time Lloyd was killed because Hernandez was the one who killed him. Hernandez proclaiming his innocence to Kraft helped the jurors reach that conclusion.

"Yeah...I was in a club at the exact time he was killed."

"Ummmm.. Aaron, precisely how is it that you know the exact time he was killed?" :blink:

Again, we're not exactly talking about a rocket scientist here.

Damn, I feel for everyone involved: the ones who were murdered, the fam of those murdered, even Hernandez. He obviously wasn't all the way there, and was lead astray at some point in his life. Hopefully, he and those involved are able to find some type of peace.

Life in the pen, caged up. Man, I couldn't image it.

 

He does not deserve peace.  He deserves a life of immense pain and suffering......and he is going to get it.

If that's how you feel, I can't knock it. What he did was terrible. He took the life(s) of another human being.

I believe different in that I believe everyone deserves peace, peace of mind, etc. I was taught and brought up to have compassion and mercy on all living things. We all mess up and do things were not supposed to do. He wasn't put to death, so while he'll be in the pen, he's still got a chance to get his life right. Sad the guy murdered doesn't get that opp, though.

But like i said in the beginning, I def respect your opinion and feel where your coming from.

I understand where you are coming from but I just can't have a lot of compassion for a person who did what he did.

 

Murderers, rapists, and child molesters deserve what they get and more.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
