What we do know is that Aaron Hernandez was an escape artist. On the football field, no one could catch him. In Florida, he was a few steps removed from a terrible shooting that no one had answered for. In Boston, he almost certainly committed a double murder that he got away with.And when Aaron was caught, and convicted, for Odin Lloyd's murder, he continued to find new ways to escape.

What we do know is that Aaron Hernandez was an exceptional escape artist. On the football field, he was elusive and difficult to catch. His life was also marked by a series of nearly unanswerable questions, including a shooting in Florida and a suspected double murder in Boston that he appeared to have evaded justice for.
"By killing himself, he escaped a long life behind bars," as pointed out in James Patterson's book. Hernandez's death was another form of fleeing, this time from incarceration, ending a tumultuous life filled with crime, controversy, and unanswered questions.
