Aaron Hernandez questioned by police in homicide probe (Update: Found guilty of first degree murder)

[aqualung]

If it had incriminating evidence on it how was it dumb? Unless he didn't properly destroy it....

Because the evidence was destroyed, the jury will be instructed to assume that it contained incriminating evidence. Judge will instruct jury to err on the side that disfavors the alleged perps.

judicial goal: discourage destruction of evidence by making results of destroying evidence as bad or WORSE than if evidence was produced intact.

But I doubt this goes to trial. Plea deals will be worked out swiftly.

That's not true at all.

I wonder if Aaron got one of those cool and calm-"everything is going to be okay" type of lawyers?

Like if Hernandez is sittin' on his living room couch shook as fukk and a cool slick haired lawyer walks in on some:

Lawyer: :Hey Aaron, what's up bro, kill anybody lately? Haha just kidding. gotcha.. Look kid you got nothing to worry about, everything is going to be fine. Relax.. The missing video will be thrown out so don't worry about that. We'll get one of your best buddy goons to say they killed the guy.. get ready for the season, hell go work out or something. Get ready for opening day kickoff".

...Prelaw, 163 on my LSATs. Decided law school wasn't for me. I know what I'm talking about...

Law school might be for you. Beats arguing with random mofos on the internet.

Litigators have told me that when they suspect lies, they ask clients to tell different versions of the story. On the second Monday in June, the litigator might ask the client the following questions.

--Tell me YOUR truth.
--What would your worst enemy say happened in this transaction?
--Tell me how you think witness A perceived it.
--What exactly did she say? Quote her verbatim to me.
--Why do you think he did xyz? When I ask him why he did xyz, what do you anticipate that he will say?
--Tell me how your loving, doting mom would describe it.
--Show me all the emails and text messages you wrote JUST after the incident.
--Tell me what you think witness B observed.

The attorney might meet with the client again on the third Friday in August AND ASK MANY OF THE SAME QUESTIONS AGAIN to check for discrepancies, shifting memories, alternative theories of the case, and more details.

No matter what is asked, people who are directly involved in a thing know it better than people who hear of it secondhand/after the fact. A client might lie consistently enough that the attorney never knows the truth. A client might lie inconsistently and get called out by their own lawyer before trial. Some clients wait until taking the stand to start lying (due to nerves, pressure from organized criminals, changed loyalties, etc).

At trial, people take the stand and lie all the time. An attorney WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIE may or may not present evidence to substantiate the lies. An attorney WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIE is not supposed to mention known lies in the closing arguments. >_>

If people lie to medical doctors about life and death matters, then you KNOW folk lie to attorneys about matters of personal freedom.

People tell other people what they want them to know WHEN THEY WANT THEM TO KNOW IT.

For all of The Coli armchair Lawyers and anyone who dapped them. Please stop making fools of yourselves. There's a little something called subornation of perjury. Once a lawyer knows your guilty they can not present ANY TESTIMONY or evidence that contradicts that knowledge. So you'd be damaging your own defense if you're guilty and give your lawyer all of those facts. So your lawyer would be left with essentially no case. He wouldn't even be able to present any evidence that you did not do it or any evidence that would prove your innocence.

His only defense of you would be to point out weaknesses in the prosecutions case. Avoiding any claims of innocence. Evidence and witnesses included.

Prelaw, 163 on my LSATs. Decided law school wasn't for me. I know what I'm talking about.

Lawyers will carefully ask only the questions that they need to ask. GOOD LAWYERS will never have a client incriminate themselves. They are not interested in knowing if they did it or not.

Stop watching Hollywood movies. Lawyers in real life care about their ability to feed their families and retain their licenses. Not all of them are on some grimey shark shyt.

So explain how attorney-client privilege fits into all this? How would one ever prove if an attorney knew for sure his client was guilty if that confession (and the details around it) are protected?


You really think they holding themselves to an honor code

Like you said, they're focused on feeding their families, unwanted surprises don't aid in that, it hinders it.

Apparently there has been a lot of other off the field stuff we haven't heard about. #Patriots tried hard to keep on the right path

NYC_Rebel had that inside track, and we aint even know it.

He's been a headcase since his days at UF

Boston sports radio just mentioned a recent/new SCOTUS decision about the implications of a criminal def exercising right to remain silent. (It was in context of AH news updates.)

He tried to destroy evidence to show that Lloyd was with him that night but now he's fukked because there was other sightings of them together!

Apparently police said Lloyd was shot where he was left, so some more shyt needs to be explained. Why was he even at a industrial site?

Would be proud
