2015 began with an Aaron Hernandez murder trial. It’ll end with one, too.
Per multiple reports, a judge in Boston has set the double-murder case arising from a drive-by shooting in the South End of the city for December 1.
Hernandez is accused of shooting and killing Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. The July 2012 case had resulted in no arrests until arrest Hernandez was charged with killing Odin Lloyd. In April, a jury found Hernandez guilty of killing Lloyd. A judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
While an additional sentence for Hernandez won’t matter, the families of the victims deserve justice.
