Aaron Hernandez appealing guilty verdict, butnahhhhh (yes maybe) - Page 25 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I posted this earlier from another source. I'm not super brushed up on law so maybe someone in the know can chime in on this...

Spoilation of evidence actually allows such acts to be used by the prosecution as an inference of guilt.

Now, it's not as strong as the evidence itself, but you could still be convicted for the murder charge based on other evidence + the inference based on spoilation of evidence.

And on top of that you have extra charges for spoilation of evidence.

So when does the murder arrest happen, Wednesday?

They are probably letting this idiot remain free in hopes they can wire someone up or tap some phones and get a confession.

No, we can't prove that data would have led to a conviction, because we haven't seen it, either--but we can infer that it was incriminating stuff.

Again, just a guess by yet another non-lawyer.

No shot.

As a weed addict myself I do not find that in itself implausible.

They all get out of the car, the people they agreed to meet pull guns out, threaten Lloyd if AH doesn't give them the money. They keep saying we are gonna kill him if they don't hand it over, AH and his boys try to reason with the gunman, and bang he shoots Lloyd dead. AH and his boys hightail it out of there on foot, and run back to his house. What can they do call the cops? Hernandez says we can't call the cops, lets just let the cops find the body and it will probably go unsolved. Don't worry we didnt do anything. Destroys the cell because he doesn't want to be connected for drug texts.

I don't see why they'd be afraid to call the cops if they were totally innocent.

I would think his lawyers would advise him to talk if it was a drug deal gone bad and the shooter was from another group of people

This has made me go back and rewatch June 17th, 1994. Still an amazing documentary.

not really true.. in a murder case where they suspect someone to be involved, the police are going to take anything that has even the slightest chance to be relevant

Should not be hanging out with his old crew. When you are worth millions of dollars you have to cut off your past life and suround yourself with a better class of people.
