to about you know taking firefighter tests lloyd also began dating college student shania jenkins she's the link between the young man who dreamed of the nfl and the all-american who made it what's your understanding of how they met they're dating sisters shania jenkins is the younger sister of cheyenna who's engaged to hernandez and mother of his little girl but how close were the talented tight end and the struggling landscaper how much do you know that they hung out together really just two different worlds buddy had one world we got our world i'm just checking out my new camera on

shaquilla's tax shakila is lloyd's youngest sister she sees him picked up from their house and driven away in the middle of the night just before lloyd dies police say he sends shaquillah chilling text messages at 3 07 a.m lloyd asks you saw who i'm with at 3 11 he checks in again texting hello 3 19 shakila answers my phone was dead who was that 3 22 a.m lloyd answers nfl and a minute later at 3 23 am lloyd sends his very last text just so you know if he left him crumbs it was something was going down but what was going down and why [Music] still ahead will a jury ever see that final text not if the defense can help it these messages do not suggest fear the government wants to put a much more sinister cast on them [Music] for daryl hodge going to the gym it means lifting weights but he's also carrying one trying to understand why someone killed his best friend odin lloyd i should still be lifting with my bro he should still be trying to dunk [Music] after a jogger finds odin lloyd's bullet-riddled body police quickly find their first pieces of evidence distinctive tire tracks lloyd's cell phone and keys for that black suburban he'd been driving all weekend police quickly learn it was rented by new england patriot aaron hernandez [Music] over the next several days investigators search his home and cars removing bags of possible evidence june 26 2013 nine days after the murder of odin lloyd hernandez is arrested for first degree premeditated murder illegal weapon and ammo charges his plea and he's no longer a new england patriot i and other members of the organization were shocked and disappointed hernandez is canned before he reaches the courthouse mr hernandez is charged a very serious crime but that shouldn't be enough to hold him without bail and he's staying in jail his attempts at bail denied i think the commonwealth has presented a case that circumstantial to be sure but very very strong as aaron hernandez adjusts to life behind bars charged with murder yet another accusation of gun violence makes headlines four months before odin lloyd is gunned down the football player is at tootsie's strip club in miami a law enforcement source says hernandez drops about 10 grand that night one of the men he's with alexander bradley prosecutors describe him as hernandez's former right-hand man by morning bradley is shot in the face dumped out of a vehicle and left for dead still wearing his now blood-soaked vip wristband from the club police retrieve this bullet fragment from his head but bradley won't give them any details when the police investigated this incident alexander bradley didn't point the finger at hernandez that changes when bradley sues claiming aaron hernandez cost him his right eye bradley later tells prosecutors he was shot after hernandez felt disrespected during an argument over a missing cell phone after bradley is shot prosecutors say hernandez gets a new right-hand man a man named ernest wallace this defendant is more commonly known by his nickname which is hobo or beau wallace has a long criminal history prosecutors say he sells and uses drugs including the hallucinogen angel dust or pcp he's not the only one sources tell cnn aaron hernandez also smoked a lot of pot one calling it a boatload prosecutors say the tight end would give odin lloyd money to buy him marijuana cnn first revealed this photograph last year it's a stack of blunts prosecutors say lloyd made them with marijuana supplied by hernandez sources tell cnn aaron hernandez also used angel dust and that could have made him paranoid one says he felt he was a target that people were coming after him a combination of of those drugs depending on the long-term use of the drugs and the amount of drugs could cause someone to become violent could cause someone to become very paranoid could cause someone to overreact to a situation appear to be more impulsive that kind of behavior doesn't describe the aaron hernandez many remember growing up in bristol connecticut where his family was celebrated as a local sports dynasty i don't think there was another family that was more familiar in bristol [Applause] aaron was our golden boy he had the family traits his father and his uncle were standout athletes his older brother dj was a sports hero too bob montgomery covers high school sports for the bristol press aaron did track in addition to football he also did basketball he was described in any sport he played as a man playing with children brad mcmillan and andrew rigali played basketball with aaron beginning in middle school he was twice the size of me over like the same height but he was just more athletic obviously and i mean he practiced like all the time practiced because his father dennis pushed him constantly his father was pretty strict i mean he told me his father used to make him to shoot 500 shots before he went sometimes to play with his his friends his dad clearly kept them anchored i saw a closeness with them that i had never seen before there was something about dennis in an erin the way they intertwined it was just it was it was magic in my eyes [Music] just ahead in a heartbeat that closeness is gone and aaron hernandez changes his game plan [Music] as a junior in high school aaron hernandez is a sports hero tearing up the football field track and the basketball court but then the 16 year old's world crumbles i was sitting in math class with another teammate phone rang teacher went to go pick up the phone and then uh she said you need to go up to the coach's room coach walks in he says dennis has passed away dennis hernandez aaron's father his anchor dies after routine hernia surgery he was just sad he couldn't stop the tears i felt uncomfortable just to see him so hurt i felt bad for him that father-son relationship comes up in conversations with sheriff thomas hodgson who runs the jail where hernandez is being held clearly at 16 years old losing your father it would be very easy to fall into the lifestyle of following people that don't help you make the best choices one choice he makes is to tattoo some of his dad's advice on his arms it's a quote my father always used to give me if it is to be it is up to me basically saying whatever i want my life to be it's up to me to make it out that way when it comes time to make his way to college aaron hernandez takes a pass on his father's school the university of connecticut despite pleas from his brother dj who plays there at first he wouldn't even talk to me but there's days he's saying like it's our dream to play together come on please but aaron stands firm believing his football career will soar in gator country in january of 2007 he cuts his high school senior year in half and heads to the university of florida joining star quarterback tim tebow and i was kind of just bummed that he wasn't going to be on our basketball team by april still long before the gator season opener there's trouble off the field the rookie teen loses his cool at this popular off-campus restaurant there's an argument between aaron hernandez and the manager over a bill tim tebow tries to calm things down and settle the check but according to this police report it all ends with aaron hernandez sucker-punching the manager on the left side of his head bursting an eardrum the manager later tells police university of florida coaches and lawyers have contacted him and they're working on an agreement a university spokesman says they are not aware of any settlement [Music] was hernandez on a slippery slope he was tearing up the field as a gator but some who knew him were worried especially when he was unsupervised away from the game if you could keep him on one side he'd be fine one source put it the problem was he couldn't stay away from the other side adding it was a recipe for disaster and it was a recipe that included marijuana hernandez was suspended at least once for using the drug it's an issue that follows him when he enters the draft his junior year teams spend a lot of time on background checks hiring private investigators to be sure that this is somebody who will enter the nfl and stay out of trouble former patriot running back kevin faulk says the checks are thorough and intensive and how far back do they go if you've done something in middle school they're going to go back and find somebody that was around that time and ask them trying to head off trouble before the draft hernandez goes on the offensive writing a letter to the patriots director of personnel if you draft me as a member of the new england patriots he wrote i will willfully submit to a bi-weekly drug test throughout my rookie season day three round four prior to the draft aaron hernandez was projected as a player that could be a first round pick and no later than a second round pick and now with another selection they go aaron hernandez he ends up the 113th pick passed over until the fourth round i have to believe that him falling so far is more than just a story about marijuana that there were questions raised in background checks about him that caused teams to say we're going to downgrade him on our draft board but during his first year with the patriots he proves himself tied in in a receiver body that could play running back that could return punts return kicks that talent gets the 22 year old a five-year 40 million dollar extension you can't come here and act reckless and do your own stuff and i might have acted the way i wanted to act but you get changed by bill belichick's way what no one knew at the time one month before he signs that deal the football player parties at a boston club that night two young men are shot and killed after leaving that same club by a man driving a silver suv is there a connection [Music] it's a silver suv but in the life of aaron hernandez it's much more in june of 2013 while searching his cousin's home for clues in odin lloyd's murder police stumble on a toyota 4runner it's in a garage and it belongs to a leasing company who loaned it to the patriot tight end in exchange for promotional work for a year boston police have been looking for an suv linked to an unsolved double murder this appears to be it how difficult has this loss been for you sir as a father um ernesto abreu's son daniel was killed in that drive-by shooting outside a boston nightclub along with his friend safiro furtado on july 16 2012. witnesses say two men in a silver suv with rhode island plates holes alongside a bruised car shots are fired finding that suv and other tips leads to a stunning discovery aaron hernandez seen on security video police say with another man following a bruin furtado into that nightclub and stalking them in a silver suv after they leave almost a year after he's charged with odin lloyd's murder aaron just please rise aaron hernandez is indicted for the murders of those two young men how do you plead this indictment not guilty the defendant leaned out of the driver's side window of the suv with a loaded revolver in his hand extended out the defendant immediately fired at least five rounds from a 38 caliber revolver into the victim's car but why daniel de abreu while dancing nearby accidentally bumped into the defendant causing the defendant's drink to partially spill the motive prosecutors say is nothing more than a spilled drink by a complete stranger the defendant told his friend that mr diabro had deliberately bumped him and was quote trying him court documents identify the friend with hernandez that night as alexander bradley the same alexander bradley who says hernandez later shot out his right eye because the football player felt disrespected during an argument over a cell phone all leading to a key question do those two violent acts suggest a dangerous pattern of behavior driven by paranoia being able to explain hernandez's behavior that night could help prosecutors at trial eight months into the case prosecutors bolster it by upgrading charges against the two men with hernandez the night odin lloyd is killed ernest wallace and another man carlos ortiz how do you plead murder not guilty this will be what's called a joint venture murder prosecution where anyone who actively participates in the murder can be held guilty for the murder that would mean hernandez could be convicted of murder even if prosecutors can't prove he fired the gun ahead videotape tire tracks gun shells but no gun [Music] aaron hernandez's first murder trial [Music] begins [Music] for odin lloyd's mother ursula ward every day is a struggle hey handsome mommy's here to see you again i love you i miss you so much sweetie i never thought i'd be talking to my son and i'm on the ground you know she attends every pre-trial hearing hangs on every word and on january 29 2015 more than 19 months after her son's murder ladies and gentlemen on june 16th of 2013. ursula ward is front and center when aaron hernandez goes on trial across the aisle the football player's mom terry hernandez the commonwealth is going to prove to you that the defendant committed the crime of murder the state says aaron hernandez's murder plot is in full swing as he gets high and leaves to get drinks on the evening of june 16 2013. shayanna okay erin addie while partying with his fiancee and friends aaron hernandez is calling and texting co-defendants carlos ortiz and ernest wallace summoning them from connecticut to massachusetts this was the text that we were looking at it says hurry your ass up 203. at about the same time he's texting lloyd to arrange a meeting i'm coming to grab grab that tonight you're gone you're gonna be around lloyd agrees to meet he types all right where after midnight cameras show wallace and his sidekick carlos ortiz arriving at hernandez's home when hernandez returns at 1 am video shows him inside walking through his house with what appears to be a gun in this photo you'll begin to see the outline of a firearm and at 1 12 a.m the men drive away in a rented nissan altima at 2 10 a.m they're heading toward odin lloyd's house when they stop at a gas station he went to buy gums blue cotton candy gum outside hernandez is seen pumping his arms in the air apparently feeling good [Music] about 20 minutes later right after a black cat walks nearby odin lloyd's younger sister shakila sees an altima pull up in front of their home and just tell us what you saw of that car the car stopped in front of the driveway at that time did your brother get in the car yes [Music] cell towers and a tollbooth camera track the car as it travels toward a secluded area of an industrial park at 3 22 a.m lloyd's sister gets a final message from him telling her he's with nfl just so you know but the jury never sees or hears that message the judge bars the details ruling what lloyd wrote is not proof he thought he was going to die as lloyd sends that message headlights in the upper left of this video can be seen pulling into the unlit section of the industrial park where odin lloyd is murdered prosecutors say it's the ultima for the next three minutes and 40 seconds there is no movement on screen then headlights re-emerge that time in between prosecutors say is when lloyd is shot dead around that same time employees working the overnight shift at the industrial park are jolted i heard a loud bang maybe four or five times i thought it was fireworks there's about six or eight loud sounds hernandez's home is just a half mile from the murder scene at 3 29 the altima pulls up in hernandez's driveway jurors see video of the crime scene and odin lloyd's bullet riddled body a lab scientist shows jurors lloyd's shirt with bullet holes and blood and an investigator testifies that impressions he made of the altima's tires match tracks found at the scene did you show the jury the overlay this area here is the first stone hole that i marked and prosecutors say this shoe print found near lloyd's body was made by aaron hernandez my opinion was that it was consistent with the retro 11 ear jordan size 13. this is the air jordan 11 low a nike consultant testifies that's the kind of sneaker hernandez had on the night lloyd was killed after hernandez returns the rented altima the afternoon of the murder the manager on duty makes a startling discovery i found a piece of chewed like blue bubblicious gum and then when i moved the seat forward i looked up and i saw what i thought was a bullet that's the type of gum purchased by hernandez hours earlier and it's not a bullet she finds but a shell casing a ballistics expert testified that casing matches five others found at the murder scene they were fired from the same unknown weapon capable of chambering 45 auto caliber ammunition did you have an opinion as to the type of weapon that was it's consistent with having been fired from a glock a glock that's the type of gun a glock employee says hernandez is carrying when he returns home minutes after the murder in my opinion the firearm shown in the video stills is a clock pistol the murder weapon the one prosecutors say is in hernandez's hand that night has never been found they suspect it's in a box inside this bag that's cheyenna jenkins hernandez's fiancee she testifies she doesn't know what's in the box and that she gets rid of it after hernandez called her and asked her to ditch it what did you do with it i disposed of it and when you say you disposed of it well where did you dispose of it i'm in a dumpster and where was the dumpster i don't know jenkins suggests she can't remember because of the stress she was under dealing with hernandez and with her sister whose boyfriend lloyd had just been murdered the prosecution then surprises jurors with an unexpected famous witness he said he was not involved that he was innocent patriots owner robert kraft meets privately with hernandez two days after lloyd's murder craft testifies his star tight end claims he had an alibi and suggests his football player knew what time odin lloyd was killed long before the public did what did he say about wanting hoping for the time of the homicide to be revealed my recollection is that he said that he hoped that the time of the event came out because he was in a club back then lloyd's time of death had not been announced if hernandez knew the time of the murder wouldn't he have to know something that had not yet been made public why would hernandez kill odin lloyd prosecutors suggest the motive was some sort of falling out between hernandez and lloyd two nights earlier when the men were at a boston club i observed aaron hernandez storming out the club he looks kind of angry ahead you're not familiar with aaron's expression sir what he does with his face i'm familiar with human expressions a defense attack on the state's theory of motive [Music] it's not as bad now that i'm not playing kevin faulk's old teammate aaron hernandez is on trial for murder in massachusetts but this retired new england patriot still has his back i want to tell him that he has somebody on his side that's praying for him not even two more murder charges in the so-called spilled drink case have changed fox's opinion of the player he knew get the question all the time you think your boy did it no i don't i don't want him to have done it no so you if you want me to say no no i don't think he did aaron hernandez as we sit here today fox friend is getting a solid defense inside court two aaron hernandez is an innocent man hernandez's lawyers win a court battle to keep alexander bradley from testifying hernandez shot out his right eye they win the motion barring any mention of his upcoming trial for a boston double murder but a main contention of hernandez's lawyers the evidence will show the investigation was sloppy and unprofessional what do you recognize that today during nearly every cross-examination his lawyers try to raise reasonable doubt by questioning the competence of investigators as an experienced police officer you understood that there could be dna on that palette right yes sir a towel found at the scene was picked up by hand before a rainstorm hits nobody measured it right nobody measured it now you eyeballed it is that what you're telling us that's exactly what i'm telling you yes and he challenges the way they collected gum and shell casing evidence from a dumpster did sergeant baker climb inside the dumpster yes he did okay and he started throwing stuff from the inside of the dumpster into the bed of his pickup truck right stuff was being handed out and it was being placed has anyone ever taught you to collect evidence that way sir no the gum and casing were found clumped together inside a piece of paper but that's not how they were tested were you ever told when you conducted this testing that the casing had been attached to a piece of chewed blue bubble gum not at the time i did my testing she did find a partial dna match for hernandez's dna on the shell casing but the defense argues it got there from the gum would you agree with me mr yazadi that there is a high likelihood that the dna on the chewed blue chewing gum would be transferred to that shell casing that is attached to it yes i would agree with that and remember the glock employee who said hernandez is holding a glock in his hand hernandez's lawyer jamie sultan did his best to discredit that identification getting the man to admit he's not an expert at identifying guns and that he wanted to help police did it occur to you that it would help the prosecution try to convict aaron hernandez if you testified that in your opinion what was in his hand was a glock yes defense later gets an i.t expert to play a different portion of the video where the item in hernandez's hand appears to be an ipad not a glock investigators believe a glock was used to murder odin lloyd but they've never found it or these sneakers photographed but not seized by police in hernandez's basement in june of 2013. prosecutors believe the ones in the middle are the air jordans hernandez was wearing the sneaker that made this print near lloyd's body but the defense gets the investigator to admit he can't prove a key point sir you can't tell us if aaron hernandez made that impression can you no the defense also chips away at the prosecution's contention that the murder weapon was in this trash bag and that hernandez told his fiancee to get rid of it as you were taking that box out did you smell anything i did what did you recognize that smell to be marijuana the defense also attacks what prosecutors hint is the motive for murder some sort of fallout between lloyd and hernandez two days earlier defense attorney michael fee hammers this witness who describes hernandez as very angry at a nightclub how much time have you spent with aaron i've never met him before so you're not familiar with aaron's expression sir what he does with his face are you i'm familiar with human expressions how were they acting and the defense tries to shift blame to co-defendants ernest wallace and carlos ortiz suggesting they were high on pcp the night of the murder this witness says the men she knows as bo and charlie boy use angel dust making them sweat and act crazy they were just real jittery sweating my opinion is that pcp ingestion can cause psychosis and on some occasions violent or aggressive behavior did he make all the right choices no in closing statements hernandez's lawyer admits his client may have helped cover up a murder but insists he did not commit it he was a 23 year old kid who would witness something committed by somebody he knew he really didn't know what to do so he just put one foot in front of the other keep in mind he's not charged being an accessory after the fact he's charged with murder and that he did not do i think odds are hernandez will be convicted but it is not a slam dunk case there is still no gun we will soon know what the jurors think they got the case tuesday afternoon eternal rest grant unto him days after what would have been odin lloyd's 28th birthday family and friends gather at number 53's headstone i don't know if anything can really hear me right now he was the love of my life in loving memory of odin lloyd our son our brother amen and you still talk to him yeah what do you say i miss him i love him miss him no matter what the outcome is we still lose at the end of the day even if you get justice do you really come out a winner i don't think so do you think there's a chance that aaron hernandez may be found not guilty that's my biggest fail because all it takes is one year we'll have you all in just so you know if he left him crumbs it was something was going down but what was going down and why still ahead will a jury ever see that final text not if the defense can help it these messages do not suggest fear the government wants to put a much more sinister cast on them for daryl hodge going to the gym it means lifting weights but he's also carrying one trying to understand why someone killed his best friend odin lloyd i should still be lifting with my bro he should still be trying to dunk [Music] after a jogger finds odin lloyd's bullet-riddled body police quickly find their first pieces of evidence distinctive tire tracks lloyd's cell phone and keys for that black suburban he'd been driving all weekend police quickly learn it was rented by new england patriot aaron

degree premeditated murder illegal weapon and ammo charges his plea and he's no longer a new england patriot i and other members of the organization were shocked and disappointed hernandez is canned before he reaches the courthouse mr hernandez is charged with a very serious crime but that shouldn't be enough to hold him without bail and he's staying in jail his attempts at bail denied i think

amount of drugs could cause someone to become violent could cause someone to become very paranoid could cause someone to overreact to a situation appear to be more impulsive that kind of behavior doesn't describe the aaron hernandez many remember growing up in bristol connecticut where his family was celebrated as a local sports dynasty i don't think there was another family that was more familiar in bristol [Applause] aaron was our golden boy he had the family traits his father and his uncle were standout athletes his older brother dj was a sports hero too bob montgomery covers high school sports for the bristol press aaron did track in addition to football he also did basketball he was described in any sport he played as a man playing with children brad mcmillan and andrew rigali played basketball with aaron beginning in middle school he was twice the size of me over like the same height but he was just more athletic obviously and i mean he practiced like all the time practiced because his father dennis pushed him constantly his father was pretty strict i mean he told me his father used to make him to shoot 500 shots before he went sometimes to play with his his friends his dad clearly kept him anchored i saw a closeness with them that i had never seen before there was something about dennis and um and aaron the way they intertwined it was just it was it was magic in my eyes [Music] just ahead in a heartbeat that closeness is gone and aaron hernandez changes his game plan as a junior in high school aaron hernandez is a sports hero tearing up the football

meaning on your farm it is the bee it is up to me basically saying my life's in my hands and whatever i want my life to be it's up to me to make it out that way the question now did he make himself a murderer what's the evidence in my opinion the firearm shown in the video stills is a clock pistol where's the murder weapon he told me to go downstairs and remove a box from our home and what will the jury decide he said that he was innocent do you think there's a chance that aaron hernandez may be found not guilty that's my biggest fan downward spiral inside the case against aaron hernandez [Music] it's a springtime saturday in new england patriot country a perfect day for football you wake up and you're driving flowing one two three a block down in a pool mike branch coaches the boston bandits a semi protein he remembers another day just like this june 15 2013. [Music] something seemed out of place a black suburban pulls like right up on my car i'm like who's pulling right in front of my cop in the driver's seat bandit defensive end 27 year old odin lloyd then i see the smile coach branch thinks it's odd because lloyd doesn't own a car i'm like whose car is this branch has his suspicions but he never gets a straight answer lloyd is busy telling his buddies about the good time he had at a club the night before oh he said he was at the club with mrs hernandez and they were partying and he had a good time mr hernandez is aaron hernandez a 40

friend they describe was passionate about football whistleblowers he's coming full throttle and family we definitely always took care of moms and sisters my brother and i were kind of like i wouldn't say best friends but you know as close as siblings can get in and out branch who also coached lloyd in high school didn't hesitate to give him advice as an adult and an occasional reality check at some point we realized we're not going to the nfl this is just going to be for fun what i got to do to start preparing myself for life he says lloyd was doing landscaping while figuring out what next i spoke to him about you know taking firefighter tests lloyd also began dating college student shania jenkins she's the link between the young man who dreamed of the nfl and the all-american who made it what's your understanding of how they met they're dating sisters shania jenkins is the younger sister of cheyenna who's engaged to hernandez and mother of his little girl but how close were the talented tight end and the struggling landscaper how much do you know that they hung out together stations with sheriff thomas hodgson who runs the jail where hernandez is being held clearly at 16 years old losing your father it would be very easy to fall into the lifestyle of following people that don't help you make the best choices one choice he makes is to tattoo some of his dad's advice on his arms it's a quote my father always used to give me if it is to be it is up to me basically saying whatever i want my life to be it's up to me to make it out that way when it comes time to make his way to college aaron hernandez takes a pass on his father's school the university of connecticut despite pleas from his brother dj who plays there at first he wouldn't even talk to me but there's days he's saying like it's our dream to play together come on please but aaron stands firm believing his football career will soar in gator country in january of 2007 he cuts his high school senior year in half and heads to the university of florida joining star quarterback tim tebow and i was kind of just bummed that he wasn't going to be on our basketball team by april still long before the gator season opener there's trouble off the field the rookie teen loses his cool at this popular off-campus restaurant there's an argument between aaron hernandez and the manager over a bill tim tebow tries to calm things down and settle the check but according to this police report it all ends with aaron hernandez sucker-punching the manager on the left side of his head bursting an eardrum the manager later tells police university of florida coaches and lawyers have contacted him and they're working on an agreement a university spokesman says they are not aware of any settlement [Music] was

fine one source put it the problem was he couldn't stay away from the other side adding it was a recipe for disaster and it was a recipe that included marijuana hernandez was suspended at least once for using the drug it's an issue that follows him when he enters the draft his junior year teams spend a lot of time on background checks hiring private investigators to be sure that this is somebody who will enter the nfl and stay out of trouble former patriot running back kevin faulk says the checks are thorough and intensive and how far back do they go if you've done something in middle school they're going to go back and find somebody that was around that time and ask them trying to head off trouble before the draft hernandez goes on the offensive writing a letter to the patriots director of personnel if you draft me as a member of the new england patriots he wrote i will willfully submit to a bi-weekly drug test throughout my rookie season day three round four prior to the draft aaron
