Aaron Hernandez was convicted in April 2015 for shooting and killing his friend, Odin Lloyd, seemingly without motive. Lloyd—a semipro football player who was dating Hernandez’s fiance’s sister at the time—had information the football star did not want out: that he was bisexual.

On April 19, Aaron Hernandez, the former star New England Patriots tight end, scrawled three notes—one to his fiancée, the mother of his little girl, one to that daughter and a third to his close prison friend—and placed them next to a Bible in his solitary prison cell.

One of the notes left by Hernandez was to his prison boyfriend, who is now on 24/7 suicide watch, multiple law enforcement sources confirm. Hernandez’s sexuality would, of course, not be relevant save for the fact that an intimate relationship he allegedly had with a male former high school classmate was at the center of the investigation into Lloyd’s murder.

Ernest Wallace, a co-defendant in the Lloyd murder case, told detectives the victim had called Hernandez a “schmoocher,” which was taken by Hernandez and his companions as a gay slur. Wallace was also recorded saying during a jailhouse visit with Tanya Singleton, Hernandez’s cousin, that he would not have helped Hernandez get rid of the murder weapon—a crime for which he is now serving a 4½-to-7 year sentence on accessory to murder charges—if he had known Hernandez was a “limp wrist,” multiple sources say.

Hernandez’s alleged longtime male lover, the high school friend, was interviewed extensively by authorities after Lloyd’s murder, and was forced to testify in front of a grand jury. Law enforcement officials also say Hernandez moved a large amount of money into three accounts shortly before his arrest for the Lloyd killing: one account was for his fiancée; a second was for his daughter; the third, where the most money was moved, was for that friend.

This is such a complicated story with so many things going on if you really think about it. Like I don't really care that much at all about Aaron; he killed another person and it seems like it was really unnecessary (no self defense, etc.). But I kind of feel a sadness when I read the story. He obviously killed himself because his sexuality was going to make the news where he would (and will) get scrutinized about it. However he did kind of kill a man :laughga: so there's that. 

But this entire situation from the murder to the suicide to the secret lover (whom he seemed to still really care about since he gave such a large portion of his savings to) is just...kind of sad.

he was serving a life sentence in prison, what'd you expect

The suicide or the lover? Because they're basically implying that he killed that guy because of the chance that his sexuality would be exposed 

edit: nevermind I misread your post :laughga:

More about the lover, but kinda both in hindsight.
Anyways, not totally sold on this motive since there's always been so much at play here- especially in regards to his gang ties, what his friend prolly knew about the other murders, Aaron's tendency to shoot people for no goddamn reason, et cetera
 

Spoiler

Not even gonna lie- saw the title, didn't read past the cut-off + assumed this thread just was about him having a prison boyfriend since that's mostly what's been sensationalized about all this recently :emma:
