Summary

Fifteen year old Matthew Kent was out for a jog on the evening of June 17th, 2013 when he discovered something that would change the course of multiple lives. Kent had just finished working out at the gym, and he was training for his high school track team, so he decided to run the short distance back to his home in Westwood Estates in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. His route brought him through a secluded clearing in an industrial park around 5PM where he saw a man, lying on his back, not moving. Kent approached the man to ask if he was alright, and when he received no response, he called the police. The body was that of 27 year old Odin Lloyd, a semi professional football player and a linebacker for the Boston Bandits, a family man whose two loves in life were his family and football, but for some unexplainable reason he had been shot to death, execution style. Odin was not from North Attleboro, and it wasn’t the kind of place where random acts of violence occurred, but law enforcement quickly discovered that he only knew two people in the area. Shayanna Jenkins, the sister of Lloyd’s girlfriend, and Aaron Hernandez, Shayanna’s boyfriend and tight end for the New England Patriots. No one wanted to believe that a young and talented professional football player who had just signed a 40 million dollar contract could possibly be involved with this brutal murder, but as the investigation progressed, a pandoras box was opened, revealing that there was another, darker side to Aaron Hernandez.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek Lovacer.

0:20.8

So before we dive into today's episode, I do want to address something that I was seeing

0:25.7

in the comments of the last episode. I wouldn't have usually talked about it except that it was,

0:30.5

you know, I think like five or six people who said something, you know, Derek and I are in

0:33.9

the comment section on YouTube. On the YouTube video, we love talking to you guys. You know,

0:39.9

we feel as truly a community, we value your feedback and your opinions. And sometimes, you

0:44.3

know, you make us see things that we didn't see before in a different way. But it's also

0:48.3

hard to respond to the comments and truly make yourself like understood social media doesn't

0:52.7

allow for a really in depth, the back and forth conversation. So I just want to talk about it real

0:57.2

quick. In the last episode, we use an example of the way that Aaron Hernandez spoke to different

1:02.1

people in his life as sort of like a sign or, you know, a factor in why he was living a double

1:09.1

life. And multiple people told us in the comments that this was not a sign of Aaron living a double

1:14.0

life, but it was Aaron using a code switching. So the broad definition of code switching is, quote,

1:20.8

the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of languages in conversation.

1:25.7

End quote. So basically, some people feel that they have to behave and speak in a certain way

1:31.2

when they're with a certain group of people. But this isn't the way they would normally speak or

1:35.2

behave. They just do so to appear like professional or fit in or not make anyone uncomfortable,

1:40.8

etc. Now, according to Harvard Business Review, this is been a strategy that's long been used by

1:46.7

minorities to successfully navigate interracial interactions. And I mean, I would argue that a lot

1:52.6

of us probably use code switching from time to time. Like, I'm not going to speak to my mother

1:57.3

in the same way I would speak to my friends. I'm not going to speak to my employer the same way I

2:00.9

would speak at home with my family. I have a tendency to swear a lot like at home. And while I may
