Hey everyone. This is Jillian, and you are listening to episode 21 of the court junkie podcast.

By now, you're likely familiar with the subject of today's case. If you didn't see him plastered all over the news in the last few weeks,

then maybe you caught episode 13 of this podcast,

where I covered Aaron Hernandez's first trial

when he was found guilty in 2015 of the murder of Odin Lloyd.

This time, I'm going to cover Aaron's latest trial, and then the absolutely shocking event

that took place afterwards.

Now to the story that is sending waves of astonishment through the sports world.

The one-time star tight end for the New England Patriots, Aaron Hernandez, was found dead.

Former New England Patriot player Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his jail cell this morning that happened at around 4 o'clock.

The discovery was made around 4 o'clock.

According to Department of Corrections officials is that Aaron Hernandez was found in his cell shortly after 3 o'clock this morning hanging

from a bed sheet that they say he had somehow connected to his cell window. They say life-saving

techniques were performed. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

But before we get started, I want to say a quick thank you to all of you for listening,
