Figured it had to be one or the other. In a previous life, I handled a few surrenders for clients. It's actually the norm, unless the police are afraid of flight or destruction of evidence. I was shocked to see the perp walk this morning, and even more shocked to see that his arms were cuffed inside his shirt. To not even let him put on a shirt was pretty fucking clear that the relationship between him and authorities was somewhere between sour and completely hostile. Seems to me he made it adversarial from the beginning, but like I said, if he's the trigger man, it doesn't really matter. He had nothing he could have given them. If he wasn't, and he's protecting others, he's a fucking moron and deserves whatever happens.
FOX25 saying he's going to prison today, which means its a no bail situation and that probably means homicide.

Not necessarily. You may well be correct but Mike Nifong sends his regards.
And to put it on record - disappointed and pissed off at Hernandez, totally understand why the Patriots released him.
Bristol sheriff preparing for jail cell. Either no bail or high bail (and we know Herb has $) = murder or accessory, no?
This is higher than OBJ.
what Corsi said.
Yikes, Aaron. WTF. I just hope we find out the motive, however stupid it was.

Not really what they said. They were reiterating Schefter's report that says by releasing Hernandez, they can't go after the signing bonus money via the CBA. That doesn't mean they can't/won't go after it in court.
Having handled a few myself, it's absolutely the norm. Lots of things can go wrong when someone is arrested by surprise. It can put a client's life in danger. In the very few criminal matters that I've handled during the investigatory phase, I always counsel surrender. I also always build a "relationship" with the detective. I call and say that my client has invoked his right to counsel and will peacefully surrender if a warrant is obtained for his arrest. I've never had that request refuse. 'Deathofthebambino said:
It makes life much easier for everyone. Cops don't risk having to bust into a home. Clients aren't arrested in front of their kids.
For smaller crimes than murder, it can mean the difference between a weekend in jail, or being processed and posting bond.
"@DougKyedNESN: FOX 25 just said Hernandez will go to Bristol County Jail after arraignment. This is a no bail situation."
No bail = it's murder
No bail = it's murder

Completely a shot in the dark here, but I wonder if they could have made some sort of special deal with Goodell to get an exception to the normal rules (if what Schefter said is true). It's directly in the interest of the league to have Hernandez completely out of the NFL as this sort of thing starts to pick up steam. It's hard to imagine the Patriots not holding off for a bit if there were substantial cap concerns involved.
I'd hang onto all of the Hernandez memorabilia, though. It could be valuable later on since they won't be making any more of it.
Hernandez is a total moron. He not only took another man's life (or at least attempted to shield those who did) but also threw away his own. Tragic.

From the beginning I was on record saying I thought the simplest (and most likely) explanation was that the victim (and possibly more of Hernandez's entourage) were involved in some shit that went south, and Hernandez's suspicious actions (destroying the phone/surveillance system, not cooperating, etc) were likely a result of a) him trying to distance himself from the underlying activity (drug dealing for example) or b) him trying to prevent this from shedding a light on other illegal activities that he WAS involved in.
I said, as recently as last night, that Hernandez was likely NOT stupid enough to be more involved than that, even though anyone who's ever head him give an interview knows he's no rocket scientist.
Well - I was wrong. Sometimes the simple explanation is not correct. Hernandez does indeed appear to be that stupid. And if he's guilty, he deserves everything that's coming to him.
What a waste.

After about an hour of sitting in his cell tonight it's all really going to hit him and he's probably going to have the biggest panic attack of his life. He probably thought his defense team and a "lack of evidence" (due to him destroying it) would help him either get minimal jail time or cleared completely. But he's going to be sitting there, and if it's a murder charge, it's going to dawn on him that he won't see much more than the inside of that cell for probably at least 25 years.
12 days ago he had it all. Wow.

Does anyone know what time (or if there is a time) for his arraignment. The courthouse is near my house and I'm trying to avoid the zoo.

Unless Hernandez starts uncontrollably screaming "That bastard deserved it! I did it and I'd do it again! And eff you Bill, you're next bro!" probably not. It's going to be like a 5 minute thing.

Some great one-liners in this thread that deserve more love.
All I ever needed to know about arraignments, I learned from Law & Order!
I hope we get some snappy dialogue and use of the term "flight risk".

Has anyone checked in with Larry Fitz for his reaction to there being an opening in the Patriots WR corp?
bsj said:
Just one. And he has hedged his original argument to the point where it's basically meaningless.
Give him some time. Maybe he's only charged with obstruction, and maybe he "finds religion" and maybe he miraculously gets the mainstream media to ignore his involvement in a homicide.dcmissle said:
