Hernandez was already getting into big trouble long before his dad died. He was likely given a pass because of his athletic ability from a pretty early age. We know he was in college, and at least as far back as high school. So here we had a violent gang-banger who excelled in football, so everyone looked the other way. Pretty darn sad how it all came to a head and so many lives were affected. All so a talented thug could keep playing ball.
