The Aaron Hernandez murder case engulfed the New England Patriots in questions after starting up training camp and with head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady having to answer questions about the murder and the case, the team is ready to move on and focus on football and the upcoming season.
Despite his arrest for the murder of Lloyd, Hernandez's Facebook page is still active and while many people have written negative posts on the page, there are also many supporters and fans who have kept trying to keep Hernandez looking positive on his page. The site also has numerous pictures of the star and with him facing life in prison for murder, it is unlikely that he will get out of jail unless he wins the case in court and a trial isn't likely to begin until next year at the earliest.

Hernandez was arrested on charges of first degree murder after the body of Odin Lloyd was found near his mansion home in North Attleboro and the Patriots star was initially agitated with police when they started asking him questions about the case and now more evidence has been collected as authorities try to build their case. The team released Hernandez soon after he was arrested and now the tight end likely will never play football again and could face even more charges depending on how an investigation into a double murder in Boston from last year goes.
Hernandez was considered one of the best young players at his position and had the makings of a star when the Patriots gave him a $40 million contract and after compiling 175 catches for nearly 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns over three seasons, that is likely where his numbers will end. Lloyd and Hernandez met through his fiancé, as her sister was dating Lloyd for two years and at the time of his death and he was arrested soon after the body was discovered.
Authorities have painted him as the orchestrator of the murder and that he is tied to the case through text messages, cell phone evidence and surveillance footage. Lawyers also said that the shooting may have been due to an incident at a nightclub between Lloyd and Hernandez that may be connected to the double murder in Boston.
