Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez’ defense attorneys were relieved when Alexander Bradley a witness who testified that Hernandez had shot him in his left eye had the jury removed. In a testimony that would have influenced the jury if left to hear it they would certainly vote guilty regarding Hernandez’ murder case.

The Judge E Susan Garsh in the case said that the jury would be prejudiced if they heard Bradley’s testimony and so they were asked to be removed from the court since the focus of the case is the murder of Oldin Lloyd who was shot and Hernandez was accused of murder in the case. Like in the famous O.J. Simpson case there were a lot of things that happened there that a lot of people didn’t understand.

The laws in Massachusetts and the laws in California are so different on so many things. You have to realize that our system says your innocent until proven guilty so it’s totally understandable that you don’t want to prejudice a jury. Especially when your this far into the case you don’t want a mistrial. The state of Massachusetts does not want to have to try Hernandez again.

It’s not known how many millions of dollars it’s cost the state to try Hernandez. Garsh didn’t want to take any chances on having a prejudiced jury based on Bradley testifying that it was Hernandez who shot him while the trial is about Lloyd. It’s kind of sad kind of system where the first question that were talking about (on the podcast) in the NFL is a legal one.

Hernandez had admitted smoking marijuana everyday during his whole pro career and never tested positive. I don’t know how that’s possible but there’s ways to beat the system and it just goes to show you if you can play a professional sports and make money people will forgive a lot of things. Obviously they don’t forgive murder.
