I have gone down a rabbit hole reading about this case. Both of the guys are quite bright, it seems. Certainly their language skills are more than you expect from so called "thugs." An incredible tragedy of wasted talent.
One quick take, as a person from the nongun part of North America, is the big role guns play in this sad tale. Except for once behind bars, AH does not seem o be using his 250lb elite body to beat asses, he seems careful about that, but impulsively pulls out a gun. Certainly I am prone to the narrative fallacy, but it seems the first shooting, the drive by was an (at least partially chemically motivated) impulsive act. That seems to be turning point from which he became more violent, more prone to use his gun.One wonders if Hernandez had no gun and played a year or two more in the league if he turns it around.
