Aaron Hernandez has his arraignment date set for Wednesday, May 28 at 2 pm ET at the Suffolk County Courthouse and he will next be in court to answer charges for the double murder that occurred in 2012 and now the investigators are looking to get evidence from tattoo artists, as Hernandez may have had someone give him a tat marking the shooting on his forearms.
According to the Sporting News, the arraignment is set for the double murder charges stemming from the drive by shooting of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. The murders occurred in 2012 in the summer and went unsolved for some time until a connection was made after Hernandez was arrested for chillin Odin Lloyd. Now some believe that the motive for killing Lloyd stemmed from information about this murder, which occurred just before Hernandez signed a contract with the New England Patriots on a $40 million extension.
The report says that Boston Police and Suffolk prosecutors are looking for any tattoo artists that gave Hernandez any work around the time of the murders, as that could have clues about whether Hernandez was involved or not. The report says that Hernandez was in California, Boston Florida and Rhode Island at various times after the shootings and they say that the witnesses are not being accused of any wrongdoing and are simply just being asked for witness statements.
Hernandez already stand accused of first degree murder in the Lloyd case and now he faces two more charges. The defense may have a hard time defending the cases now that there are two more murders and there also could be a clearer motive than before for the Lloyd murder. Police believe that the two are connected and there is a good chance that is why he killed Lloyd, if he did that. Hernandez was arrested last June and released by the Patriots.
The team may now have some cause to get money back they are owed after he signed the extension, as he may have signed it in bad faith if he had committed the murders. The Patriots obviously had no idea and now the team is looking at their options. Hernandez and Lloyd were connected through his fiance Shayanna Jenkins, who has been charged with perjury in the case and now Hernandez has to deal with his next court appearance next week. Hernandez will be arraigned on charges next week and he faces two more murder charges in the first degree after the shooting, which occurred after a random incident with the group at a nightclub and was caught partially on video.
