Aaron Hernandez’s brother Jonathan is speaking out for the first time about the Netflix docuseries Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez while visiting The Dr. Oz Show. In previews released from the exclusive interview, Hernandez addresses questions about his sibling, the former New England Patriots superstar who was convicted in 2015 of murdering of his friend Odin Lloyd, and then died by suicide while in prison in 2017.

Speculation was rampant that Lloyd, who was dating Aaron’s fiancée’s sister at the time of his death, had discovered Aaron had homosexual relationships and he was worried Lloyd would disclose his secret.

He became popular after playing for the New England Patriots competing in the National Football League (NFL), but his career ended when he was arrested for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

Aaron attended Bristol Central High School at which he played football for the Bristol Rams, while he also practiced basketball and ran track. While attending his final year, Aaron was named Gatorade Football Player of the Year. He was one of the most popular boys at school, and dated Shayanna Jenkins who later became his fiancée. However, Aaron also smoked a lot of marijuana and drank a lot of alcohol.

He went on to enroll at the University of Florida on a football scholarship, and finished three years there but wasn’t welcomed for the fourth year because of his drug abuse, so Aaron quit college and make himself eligible for the 2010 NFL Draft- he was picked by the New England Patriots. He signed a four-year contract with them on 8 June 2010 worth $2.4 million and after performing well in the following two years, Aaron signed a new contract with the Patriots on 27 August 2012 worth $40 million; he played his final game on 20 January 2013.

Aaron often had problems with the police – his actions were somewhat confused, and also the legal processes for his actions.

While attending college, he would sometimes become jumpy at nightclubs and some of his friends claimed that he often thought that people around him looked at him strangely and wanted to fight him. It was also reported that Aaron had hired two friends, one of whom was a drug dealer, to look after him and calm him down when he became paranoid. After Aaron died, his high school teammate stated that they were in a relationship, but that Aaron kept it hidden from everybody, because he himself wasn’t happy that he was gay.

On 30 September 2007, three men were sitting in a car, and two of them were shot by five bullets, however, both men survived. The third man Randall Carson pointed out Aaron when provided with several pictures and claimed that it was him who fired the weapon. Aaron wasn’t charged due to a lack of evidence but after he was arrested in 2013, the case was reopened.

On 16 July 2012, two immigrants were shot dead in Boston’s South End. Several witnesses claimed to have seen Aaron’s car stop next to the immigrants’, and that someone yelled at them ‘What’s up now, niggers?’ Aaron was accused of murdering the two, and his trial started on 1 March 2017, however, he was acquitted on 14 April of the same year, but still charged with possession of a gun.

Aaron had many other problems with the police but it was the murder of his friend Odin Lloyd that put him behind bars. Odin was found dead on 18 June 2013 around a mile behind Hernandez’s house. Aaron was found guilty of murder on 15 April 2015 and sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars, while the motive behind the killing is believed to be the possibility of Odin letting the public know about Aaron’s bisexuality. Aaron was found hanging in his cell on 19 April 2017.

It was later revealed that Aaron came out to his mother as gay, and that his ex-girlfriend knew about it too. It was also revealed that Aaron was sexually abused when he was a teenager, and that this affected him greatly.
