Aaron Hernandez knew his prison boyfriend before either of them was locked up, says the attorney for that inmate.
At a press conference Wednesday in Worcester, Massachusetts, Lawrence F. Army Jr., the lawyer representing 22-year-old Kyle Kennedy, also said that three weeks before Hernandez hanged himself, the former New England Patriots tight end wrote his client a note that may have hinted at his suicidal thoughts, saying, “I think I’m going to hang it up, lol.”
Army confirmed that Kennedy was put on “eyeball to eyeball” suicide watch by prison officials and kept in an isolation cell after Hernandez’s body was discovered last week.
