Hernandez not able to watch Pats
If former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez wants to know the score of Sunday’s AFC Championship game, he’ll have to hope he overhears it from an officer or a fellow inmate.
“He’s not allowed to watch any TV,” Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said on Friday. “If they hear an officer talking about it they might find out that way … or if some other inmate were to call home and he were to yell out.”
Hernandez has missed this entire season after being charged in June with murder in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player. The Patriots released Hernandez on the day he was arrested. He has pleaded not guilty. Police are also investigating whether he might have been involved in a 2012 shooting that killed two people in Boston.
