BOSTON – Former NFL player Aaron Hernandez has been found not guilty in the 2012 double-murder of two men, one of whom accidentally spilled his drink at a night club.
Hernandez, a former tight end for the New England Patriots, was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu, two immigrants from Cape Verde who crossed paths with Hernandez briefly on July 16, 2012. He was also charged with witness intimidation and accused of shooting his former best friend, Alexander Bradley in the face seven months later in what prosecutors say was an attempt to silence him as a witness to the earlier shootings.
The jury in the case deliberated for about 32 hours over five days.
