Aaron Hernandez, the former NFL star that became a convicted murderer, may be spending the rest of his natural life in jail for the first degree murder of Odin Lloyd but his legal woes are far from over. Hernandez is already facing trial for a 2012 double murder in Boston, and now he's been indicted on charges of shooting a man, Alexander Bradley, in the face in 2013 and leaving him for dead.
Previously, it was reported that Bradley was shot after he and Hernandez had a dispute over a bar tab at a strip club in Florida. Bradley had reportedly left his phone at the establishment, and when Hernandez refused to go back, Bradley made "disrespectful" comments to him and was subsequently shot. The shooting left him without the use of his left eye.
Now, it is said that Bradley was a witness to Hernandez perpetrating a drive-by shooting in Boston in 2012 that left Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado dead. Hernandez is accused of killing them over an altercation inside a night club in which they spilled a drink on him and failed to apologize. That "disrespectful" comment may have been a remark about the twin killings.
Hernandez faces two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed assault with intent to murder, and single counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm in that case.
Bradley testified against Hernandez during the Lloyd trial, but was banned from mentioning the double-murder case in Boston. His testimony was that he saw Hernandez handling a .45-caliber pistol during a trip to Florida in 2013. Lloyd was killed with a .45-caliber gun, and although the murder weapon was never found, a bullet was recovered from a rental car Hernandez returned the day after Lloyd was killed.
