Once a rising star in the league, Hernadez is already serving a life sentence in prison for murdering the brother of his fiancee’s sister, Odin Llyod. Although Friday’s verdict has no implications on the conviction, the Boston courtroom was emotional.
In 2012, the one-time rising star in the NFL signed an extension worth $40 million with the New England Patriots.
