Prosecutors looking to charge Hernandez with double murder in 2012 South End shooting

The proceedings are conducted behind closed doors, so details of the case against Hernandez are unknown. But the fact that the case has gone to a grand jury indicates that the investigation of the killing of two Cape Verdean immigrants is now more narrowly focused on Hernandez. Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu were shot early on July 16, 2012, in the South End when someone in a sport utility vehicle with Rhode Island license plates pulled up next to their car and began firing

In other developments in the Hernandez investigation Tuesday, a Connecticut judge unsealed three affidavits that were the basis for three search warrant applications connected to the Lloyd killing. Police searched the home of Hernandez’s uncle in Bristol, Hernandez’s hometown.

Authorities became interested in that address after Ortiz told investigators that he drove back to the house after Lloyd’s killing, accompanied by Ernest Wallace, the other man who was with Hernandez the night Lloyd was killed.

It was there that Boston police eventually tracked down the SUV that investigators believe was used in the South End double killing last year.

man I hope the Pats an recover from this. Also hoping Aaron gets put away for most of his life. No matter how big you think you are, you can't go around murdering people and get away with it.

If he killed three people, I hope it's for the rest of his life.

OJ and Ray Lewis got away with it.
 
Welp, Hernandez is in trouble. I was skimming through the docs released today and came upon this nugget:
"An individual whose identity is known to police indicated that Aaron Hernandez, Ernest Wallace and Odin Lloyd were outside the Nissan Altima when Odin Lloyd was killed.
The individual stated that he was instructed by Ernest Wallace to take possession of a firearm that was inside Aaron Hernandez rented Nissan shortly after the homicide of Odin Lloyd"

Looks like Carlos Ortiz is the key to the case. I believe he was also the one who said he was told that Hernandez shot Lloyd.

If it's true that Lloyd was yapping about Aaron murking the South End boys, and if it's Carlos who flipped, then it sounds like Aaron has a bad tendency of trusting snitches.

Yep.

If Carlos Ortiz is going to be a star witness in the murder case against Aaron Hernandez, he won't come without blemishes.

Ortiz has an extensive criminal record, including convictions for larceny, assault, criminal mischief and interfering with an officer, court records show.

There's more: In an affidavit for his arrest on a probation violation obtained Wednesday by USA TODAY Sports, police say Ortiz met with his probation officer on May 21 and "disclosed that he was abusing PCP, alcohol and THC daily."

I'm sure he's getting a pretty good deal in exchange for the information he's providing as they'd have a good case to lock him up again.
 
Given Aaron's connected to some real motherfucking g's, I wonder how well Carlos is being protected in lockup.
 
The prosecutors have all this yet the grand jury hasn't indicted him yet and they are stalling for time? Odds are he didn't pull the trigger

What exactly does the prosecutors have on him?
He owes a popular gun that was the same that killed someone & the testimony of two snitches that are trying to save their own hides.

The prosecution presented enough solid evidence in the bond hearing to make betting against his extended incarceration an extremely poor decision. The guy is gonna go to jail.

They probably have a lot of evidence they havent shown. The gum that he bought being left at the scene will probably link to him via dna. The victims last, seemingly desperate, texts to his sister "do you know who im with??" "you there?" "im with nfl".

Picked him up and drove him nearly an hour across the city just to kill him a 1 minute drive from his own front door. Hernandez is an idiot. And a guy that is this big of an idiot has probably left a ton more evidence around.

They at least have Hernandez owning a weapon that matches the weapon used. A weapon seen on Hernandezs own surveillance videos from that night, that is now missing. They have him with the victim at the time of the murder. And they have the motive which is trying to cover up another double murder that Hernandez committed a year earlier. They already have plenty. A circumstantial link to the murder weapon, a definite link to the victim at the time of the murder, and a solid motive.

This

Even without the gun being found he's going to jail for a very long time. Maybe even the rest of his life.
 
Holy shit, it just gets worse and worse. No wonder he didn't think he'd get caught, he might have gotten away with several already.
 
An affidavit released by Attleboro District Court says Carlos Ortiz told investigators Hernandez put firearms in the black box after Odin Lloyd's killing. The document indicates one was a small gun Ortiz handed Hernandez after they returned home with another associate, Ernest Wallace. Ortiz said he earlier saw Hernandez with an additional "large handgun."

Prosecutors have not said who fired the fatal shots. But court records released in Florida say Ortiz told investigators Wallace said it was Hernandez.

The new documents released in Massachusetts indicate authorities seized a cellphone and credit and bank cards from a relative of Hernandez, identified as Tanya Singleton-Valderamma, of Bristol. Ortiz told investigators he and Wallace drove to Bristol after Lloyd's killing and that he was dropped off at Singleton-Valderamma's house, according to the affidavit. Ortiz said he discussed Lloyd's killing with her.

Ortiz is going to have a great time in jail if he doesn't end up on snitch row.
 
Officially indicted today:

Video surveillance footage showed Hernandez’s car entering the industrial park during the early morning hours of June 17, with Hernandez, Lloyd, Ortiz, and Wallace all visible, according to prosecutors.

When the car left the industrial park moments later, Lloyd was no longer in the vehicle, his body dumped on the industrial park’s gravel road, prosecutors said.

No chance he's not going down for this.
 
Report: Bill Belichick knew Aaron Hernandez felt 'life was in danger'

Rolling Stone article:
On Tuesday, not long after Aaron Hernandez was officially scheduled for a September 6 arraignment on first-degree murder charges, Rolling Stone dropped a teaser about an upcoming article on the former Patriots tight end. That teaser is now a full-blown article as Rolling Stone dropped the proverbial bombshell on Wednesday.

Titled "Gangster in the Huddle," it's a behemoth of an article that alleges a lot of pretty incendiary stuff. For instance, Rolling Stone reports that Hernandez flew to the 2013 NFL Combine to see Bill Belichick and tell the coach that the tight end felt his life was in danger.

The Patriots:
"According to a source close to Hernandez, he flew to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this past February and confided to Belichick that his life was in danger," Paul Solotaroff and Ron Borges write. "Hernandez was trying to break away from the gangsters he'd befriended. He worried 'they were actually trying to kill him,' says the source."

Putting aside why Hernandez was paranoid for a moment (we'll get to that), this would be a major, major deal if true. The Patriots -- or, at least, Patriots owner Robert Kraft -- claim they were "duped" by Hernandez. But if Belichick knew that Hernandez felt his life was in danger, well, it might shift some liability in this matter, moral or otherwise.

It's only alleged or reported or whatever word you need, so it might not be relevant, especially when you consider that one of two people actually know about this conversation between Belichick and Hernandez. One of those people is currently in jail and the other is the head coach of the Patriots.

But it's worth watching either way especially when two previous Patriots beat writers -- both of whom are writers for national sites -- confirmed the conversation between Belichick and Hernandez. (And as our own Pete Prisco noted, Hernandez was in Indy during the combine.)

SI.com's Greg Bedard also told me on Twitter he heard of the conversation but couldn't find a second source to confirm the story. So, yeah, wow.

Drug use, carrying a gun everywhere, missed workouts, domestic dispute...
Back to Hernandez paranoia. Rolling Stone alleges that Hernandez, according to friends, became a heavy "angel dust" user. (Angel dust, for you squares that don't know, is PCP.) Using this "maniacal" drug, Hernandez became insanely paranoid, RS reports, and was "carrying a gun wherever he went."

"In exclusive conversations with Rolling Stone, those friends, who insisted they not be named, say Hernandez was using the maniacal drug angel dust, had fallen in with a crew of gangsters and convinced himself that his life was in danger, carrying a gun wherever he went," the magazine reports. "Sources close to the tight end add that throughout the spring, when players are expected to be preparing themselves for the marathon NFL season, Hernandez had missed workouts and sessions with a rehab trainer, and had been told by his head coach, Bill Belichick, that he was one misstep from being cut."

The magazine also reports later in the feature that during the 2013 offseason, things got pretty bad with Hernandez and the Patriots. The tight end reportedly "blew off sessions with his therapist, Alex Guerrero, and stood up Tom Brady, who was running a camp for Pats receivers."

After a domestic dispute between Hernandez and his fiancee Shayanna Jenkins, the mag reports that Belichick became so upset he "exploded" and threatened to dump Hernandez after 2013.

"No arrest was made, but word got back to Belichick, who exploded and tendered notice: Any more disruptions and he'd be traded or cut at the end of the 2013 season," the magazine writes.

Belichick:
Again, pretty heavy stuff here, but also stuff that wasn't reported anywhere during the offseason. You're telling me this information didn't leak out at all to the media? Because that's a lot of incidents occurring that, one would think, might find their way to the press during the offseason.

And then there's maybe the weirdest thing of all: Rolling Stone alleges, "per a close Hernandez associate," Bill Belichick told Hernandez "to lay low, rent a safe house for a while."

I mean, WHAT? That sounds a lot more like advice from Ron Burgundy than it does Bill Belichick. But that's how, allegedly, Hernandez ended up renting his now infamous "flop house."

Seriously I'm flummoxed by all of this. The article's a complete bombshell assuming it's all true. I have a difficult time believing that Bill Freaking Belichick was told by one of his players that the player felt his own life was in danger, Belichick didn't do anything about it, so the player started skipping a bunch of workouts, then Belichick got mad and then, finally, Belichick told the player to rent a safe house and "lay low."

It's pretty implausible right? But then again, so is everything else that's happened with Aaron Hernandez over the past six months.

In before "I can't believe that the New England Patriots ownership / coaching staff may not have been telling the full truth about something!"
 
Rolling Stone had the article that states that Urban Meyer covered up drug test fails and drive by shootings.
 
I don't buy it, Belichick has never shown loyalty to a player. I mean Welker got sent packing, there's no way he'd do anything like that for Hernandez.

Yup, using PCP heavily --> getting paranoid --> hanging out with a crew of gangsters --> convinced himself that life was in danger --> carrying a gun everywhere --> murdering someone = self defense
