Not as sensational as OJ, but Hernandez's personality appeared to be far more volatile on a regular basis, than OJ's. He appeared to have courted violence and the seedy side of life an a much more frequent basis. I did not follow the case closely, but it makes one wonder whether this was always part of his life, if whether he tail spun down into it. A very talented athlete, and a very sad scenario, none-the-less.
He lived a double life. One as a famed football player, the other as a criminal. It is said that the loss of his father at an early age contributed to his criminal life with drugs and gangs. He murdered his girlfriend's brother execution style, and she still stuck by his side. Amazing. He was given a life sentence for that murder, but was found not guilty, not long ago on two other charges associated with murder. He did all of this before his death at just age 27.
