smastroyin said:Why would he be using two hands to make two individual one handed gang signs? This seems really dumb, and it's probably closer to the truth that in anything he was mixing the bloods and crips hand signs to be funny, since other than the thumb/forefinger he is clearly making a crips sign. Maybe he is really the criminal master of the the new gang the Blips, and he was killing Lloyd before he could get the trademark because the guys in the club he was talking to were IP attorneys.

Note when she says ".....and if that's true, and based upon the presentation it seems to be" with respect to the circumstances of the incident put forward by the prosecution. Are judges supposed to say things like?
drleather2001 said:Yea, I thought that was fishy but assumed people were just misquoting or quoting second hand sources.
If a judge said something like that in a trial, it would be grounds for a new trial. Not sure what happens if its said in a preliminary hearing.

OurOfState said:Surely these text messages have been 'translated'; they seem a bit too literate. I find it hard to imagine Hernandez fiddling around on his phone looking for the apostrophe when he's got other things on his mind.
MuellerMen said:This where I'm at. I'm 99.9% sure that Aaron Hernandez pulled the trigger and is responsible for murdering a man whom he called a good friend. And, when I read the Reddit post that CaptainLaddie summarized, I'm astonished that anyone (read: his attorney) can claim otherwise. Yet . . . that 0.01% doubt rests in the judicial system - and all the potential flaws it's riddled with. I think it's more likely than not that the prosecution in O.J.'s case rendered a long list of damning evidence as impressive as what's summarised on the Reddit list. We all know how the the OJ trial turned out. At an arraignment, clearly the prosecution has the advantage of surprise and spotlight. The defense has hardly begun its work. In the court, the scales are more balanced. I hate even thinking this, but unless Hernandez's defense in this case turns out to be every bit as inept as the prosecution in OJ's case - or the judge does something equally stupid - Hernandez's legal guilt is no slam dunk.
bougrj1 said:True - but it's "reasonable doubt". I would argue that .01% is not reasonable given the list of evidence. The OJ case is a different can of worms given how ignorant the average person was about DNA evidence at the time. If that trial happens now there's no way he's not convicted.
CoffeeNerdness said:NPR just played a soundbite from the judge where she alluded to the motive as Hernandez feeling "disrespected".

How far will this this thread unravel? Motive in the double homicide?

Rovin Romine said:That's the thing with being very rich and getting hit with a life felony - how much of your money do you spend to try and get yourself out of trouble? Pretty much all of it. Actually a first rate defense for a case like this can easily run into the multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars - beyond the usual expenses of litigation, there are many potential experts you could hire to help with any/all aspects of the case if you can afford it. And if you've got millions, why not get a second and third opinion on any DNA evidence that turns up, etc.
Wait for the details. Would it shock anyone if theres 2 more? That Florida case could easily be one more.Buffalo Head said:Tsarnev Brothers 4, Aaron Hernandez 3.
C'mon Aaron, go for two!!!!
I'm at a ballgame and on my phone. On a normal case it's a there's nothing to see here. But a judge giving that opinion on a case this public at a televised bail hearing with potential jurors watching. Not good. Judge will get a letter from the Judicial standards folks and that statement will be in the first paragraph of the appeal. Just idiotic to comment publicly like that. Very, very idiotic.smastroyin said:I wish the guys making vague references to the bail hearing would explain their reasoning.
Paul I guess you are saying that the judge has tainted the jury pool or something since she's clearly not going to be the trial judge. What is the other harm?
PKB I guess you are saying that the reason you ask for this hearing is so that you get more details of the prosecutions case?
It would be better if we didn't have to guess though.
