This Saturday, June 17, 2023, marks ten years to the date that pro-football star Aaron Hernandez (b. November 6, 1989) murdered non-pro football player Odin Lloyd (b. November 14, 1985).
Hernandez, with New England Patriots, murdered more than one person. And he clearly lived a life outside the image people had of him.
Hernandez died, at the same age as Lloyd, 27, by suicide on April 19, 2017.
For more on the case, and its timeline, here is a good source from 2020:
Aaron Hernandez timeline: From murders and trials to prison suicide
Although I have a general skepticism in Wikipedia, here is its page on:
This was an infamous case. That is, for all which became revealed of Hernandez. There is also the fact that his sexual life was not the same as what he presented professionally. But, in all this, it seem like not enough attention was given to Lloyd given he was a human being who, no doubt, was a better person than Hernandez. Unlike Hernandez, Lloyd was not a murderer.
The above video is from a Netflix documentary a few years ago. I used to subscribe to the service. I canceled several months ago and would return if my interest became renewed. The documentary was one of the best from the streamer.
