Aaron Hernandez | Forensic Files

there's Brady thr the wide open Hernandez and the rookie takes it to the Baltimore 35 Aaron Hernandez what a find
he's proving to be you get changed by Bill bellich way and you get changed by the Patriot Way and now that I'm a
patriot I have to start living like one and and making the right decisions for them Hernandez arrested cut from his
team charged with murder this gentleman either by himself or with two other people basically cold blooded in a cold
blooded fashion killed a person Chris and it's a big gner by Hernandez for about 19 right you think it's just going
to be an inside R second and 10 Here Comes The Blitz picked up Hernandez 25 20 down to the
[Music] 16 there's a question Skip and I'll turn to you um did the Patriots make a huge
mistake by Drafting and signing Aaron Hernandez signed him 5 years $40 million commitment Stephen A I'm going to say
they did not make a huge mistake I'm going to say in their shoes I would have taken the same gamble on Aaron Hernandez
Stephen A and as you know I've been a patriot supporter on this show but for all the talk about the Patriot Way and
the first class New England Patriot organization the exemplary organization in pro football blah blah blah I want I
want you to know that if you look hard enough the Patriots have been the Raiders East for the last six or eight
years because bill bellich has taken risk after risk after risk on players with let me say character or baggage
issues Cory Dylan Randy Moss Albert hanesworth Chad oo Zino a to leave I could go on and on so they were able to
steal an Aaron Hernandez in the fourth round a player with first round talent because he did flunk a drug test before
that draft did the Patriots through their security and their reconnaissance did they know of his gang affiliation in
high school here in Bristol Connecticut I'm pretty sure that they did did they work through an Urban Meyer a coach that
bich is very close to when Urban was the co head coach at Florida I'm sure they did I think they knew that there was
high risk here but then what happened Aaron Hernandez was exemplary for a long long time as a patriot I'm
talking about in the football context Aaron Hernandez showed up on time he failed according to the Boston Globe
quoting the Patriots no drug tests failed no drug tests he worked hard he played hard he played very well and he
was a great teammate by all accounts so after that after he'd proven that much I
would have taken the plunge and given him his 5-year contract to me this is the classic case and I'm going to take a
plunge here myself this is what I call a sociopath this is a man who is sou less
this is the classic case of the serial killer that lived down the block and all the neighbors say he seemed like such a
nice guy because I think the Patriots had no idea this was going on behind the scenes should their security people have
kept closer tabs should they have smelled trouble maybe but I think that Aaron Hernandez got away with Crime
After Crime After Crime and I'm leaping to that assumption because the Patriots leap to that assumption right out of the
box they cut him immediately because they heard all the mountain of circumstantial evidence against Aaron
Hernandez so I'm leaping to the conclusion he's just a bad guy just again soulless is the best description
sociopath and cannot be trusted and was probably involved in other shooting as and this will start to come out as it
goes to trial so to me I would have been duped by this I would have closed my eyes in the Gladiator sport of football
and plunged with a 5-year commitment because football-wise he had been nothing but
exemplary charging defendant Aaron Hernandez with murder what say you madam for person is the defendant not guilty
guilty of murder in the first degree or guilty of murder in the second degree of motor in the first degree
