Free-agent linebacker Brandon Spikes could end up being a free agent a while longer thanks to a tweet he posted in the aftermath of the Aaron Hernandez murder verdict.
“I’m confused about the justice system these days,” Spikes (a former teammate of Hernandez’s at Florida and with the Patriots) tweeted in scream-at-your-eyeballs all caps after the finding of guilt was announced.
There’s nothing to be confused about. The evidence, while circumstantial, was overwhelming. Ultimately, Hernandez’s lawyer conceded that the former Patriots tight end witnessed the killing. Which when coupled with surveillance footage generated by cameras Hernandez placed in and around his home made no sense.
