Breaking News: Aaron Hernandez Found Guilty of Murder, Awaits Sentence of Life in Prison Without Parole

MStars News has learned that former NFL star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree murder inside a Massachusetts court room Wednesday, April, 15. He awaits sentencing, which will be life in prison without parole.

UPDATE: Aaron Hernandez was Sentenced to Life Without Parole; Convicted of First Degree Murder in Death of Odin Lloyd

According to People, the former New England Patriots star was found guilty of being involved in the killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating Shaneah Jenkins, sister of Hernandez's fiance Shayanna Jenkins:

"The prosecution alleged that Hernandez and two other men picked up Lloyd at his home during the early morning hours of June 17, 2013. According to testimony, they drove Lloyd to a secluded industrial park, where he was shot six times. Prosecutors alleged that Hernandez orchestrated the murder."

There were some issues in the murder case because there were no eye witnesses to the murder. The motive for Lloyd's killing is still unknown, and the murder weapon has never been discovered.

While some thought Hernandez would be acquitted of the murder, Hernandez is facing life without parole, according to reports.

"The defense claimed that Hernandez merely witnessed the murder, which was committed by someone he knew. Two other men, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, are also charged with killing Lloyd. They have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately," the magazine reported.

Defense attorney James Sultan revealed to jurors that Hernandez had used drugs during testimony.

"Aaron and Odin shared a passion, a passion for marijuana," he continued. "Odin was very skilled at rolling blunts. Why would he kill Odin Lloyd, his bluntmaster?"

It took the jury seven days of deliberation before the world knew Hernandez's fate.

According to CNN, Hernandez's sentencing for first-degree murder is expected soon. None of the jurors looked at the former NFL star when the verdicts were read.

The news site reports that "prosecutors congratulated Lloyd's family as people headed out of the courtroom."
