Rolling Stone magazine teased some details from their investigative article on Aaron Hernandez titled "The Gangster In The Huddle" on Tuesday night and now the article is live online just as Hernandez is getting ready for an arraignment in superior court next Friday.
The article alleges a number of controversial issues, including that Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust and PCP and that he was addicted to drugs for some time and also that he was so paranoid and messed up that he felt he had to carry a gun everywhere he went. The article also alleges that former Florida head coach Urban Meyer helped cover up two violent incidents and drug tests while Hernandez was still in school.

The article details issues with his mother Terri and his father Dennis, who both had criminal records, as well as quotes from friends, family members and former teammates. Hernandez was arrested the week after Odin Lloyd was killed and he is now in jail on first degree murder charges, although he has pleaded not guilty. Lloyd and Hernandez met through their significant others and reports said that Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancé.
The article goes over the night that lawyers say started the entire thing, as the two were at the club Rumor when Lloyd got into a dispute with Hernandez. He was speaking to two of his cousins and one pointed at Hernandez and mentioned some choice words and when Lloyd returned the two could be seen on video later arguing, although they did not fight. Hernandez was paranoid and after that he texted that "you can't trust" anyone and that may have been what led to the shooting.
Two men, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who are now in custody for the murder as well, reportedly came up from Hernandez's home town to help him out. Ortiz is talking and has said that Wallace admitted to him that Hernandez did the shooting. The article has plenty more and is quite the interesting read.
