Sheriff: Hernandez trying to adjust to life in jail

After speaking with Aaron Hernandez two days in a row, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said Thursday the former New England Patriots player "seems in control, comfortable, not nervous and aware of the situation he's in."

But the sheriff added that, in his opinion, the tight end is having somewhat of a tough time adjusting to all of the strict rules, not to mention the lack of personal space.

Also Thursday, the Associated Press reported police have been searching a third-floor unit in a condo complex in Franklin, Mass., that Hernandez had visited in recent weeks, according to the unit's next-door neighbor. Condo resident Carol Bailey said that starting Wednesday and continuing Thursday, police removed items from the modest, two-bedroom rental unit and asked her questions about its occupants.

McCauley, in the bail review hearing, said investigators recovered.22- and .45-caliber ammunition from there. Prosecutors said Wednesday that Lloyd was killed by .45-caliber bullets, and investigators discovered a .22-caliber weapon near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass.

Inside the condo, a district attorney said Thursday, detectives found ammunition for a .45-caliber weapon -- the same caliber weapon that investigators believe was used to shoot Lloyd last week.

Inside a Hummer registered to Hernandez parked in front of the condo he leased, McCauley said Thursday, investigators found a clip to a .45-caliber firearm.

At the condo complex, the police search Wednesday was a jarring sight, Bailey said, noting that she saw them using a dog to sniff for evidence and also carting in a ladder truck to get at the building's roof.
"We've never had the place crawling with cops," she said. "This is a very peaceful, quiet community. This doesn't happen here."

The retired biology professor said she never spoke directly with Hernandez, but she had seen him at the complex, wearing hooded sweatshirts in an apparent attempt to fly under the radar.

When police questioned her on Wednesday, Bailey said she told them she never saw anything suspicious going on in the condo next door. "No suspicious activity, no girls, nothing other than just typical guy stuff. A little bit loud, a little bit of cigarette smoke, a little bit of, maybe pot," she said, "but nothing that you wouldn't expect from a bunch of guys."

here is an update on Ortiz:

A second man has been arrested as part of the investigation into Lloyd's death, but authorities haven't provided details. Carlos Ortiz, 27, was arrested Wednesday in Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Connecticut. The arrest occurred in connection with the homicide investigation.

Ortiz was charged as a fugitive from justice, documents had been sealed by court order. In Massachusetts, a warrant for Ortiz's arrest says he faces a charge of possessing a firearm without a license, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

Ortiz spoke with investigators in Connecticut on Tuesday, told police that he had been carrying a firearm in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, on June 17 -- the day investigators have said Lloyd was killed.

Details about Ortiz's alleged connection to the Lloyd case were not spelled out in the court documents CNN obtained.

He was being held on $150,000 bond in Hartford on Thursday.

It was not clear from court documents whether Ortiz has an attorney.

I hope the police point out that Hernandez will probably have a legal team worth millions, while he'll hang the others out to dry with public defenders. I think that might help them tell the truth.

Good call. If Hernandez is the shooter , then the others are ' merely' accomplices and once they are not afraid of him ( i havea feeling his friends were intimidated into helping him for fear of being his next victim) someone will probably be pretty helpful to the investigation!

NYT Article; http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/28/s...ted-for-murders-in-2012.html?ref=sports&_r=1&



...The twin killing at a city intersection early one morning last July remains unsolved. The police knew that Hernandez had been in the nightclub, Cure, that night but considered his presence of no significance.

“They knew he was in there,” the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing, said of the club. “But it was thought that he was just a sports star at the bar.”

When Hernandez was linked last week to the killing of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston semiprofessional football player, the Boston police decided to take another look at his possible role in last year’s killings.

Further investigation led the police to tie Hernandez to that killing, said the official, who declined to discuss any evidence in the case. The official said that Hernandez was believed to have fired the shots that killed the two men, Daniel Abreu, 29, and Safiro Furtado, 28....
 
"It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not a strong case," said Hernandez's attorney Michael Fee.

Hernandez will have a probable cause hearing July 24 at 9 a.m. ET.

A man filed a lawsuit last week claiming Hernandez shot him after they argued at a strip club in February in Florida. However, no criminal charges were filed, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deemed the case, which did not name Hernandez, inactive because the alleged victim refused to cooperate.

Carlos Ortiz, 27, of Bristol, Conn., is seen on surveillance video entering Hernandez’s North Attleborough home around 3:30 a.m. on June 17 armed with a handgun.

According to Connecticut officials, Ortiz has agreed to return to Massachusetts. He is due to appear in a Bristol, Conn., courtroom today to complete the extradition process before being brought to Massachusetts by State Police.

If Ortiz arrives in Massachusetts today, he could be arraigned in Attleboro District Court today on one count of carrying a firearm without a license. He has not been charged with murdering Lloyd.

Just catching up on the thread now.

Just had one quick question, is AH's house in a gated community? He did have home CCTV security etc but I am just surprised he didn't live in a residence with more security i.e Gates/fences positioned around the entire premises of his OWN house to block off anyone entering or trespassing on the property. Looks like anyone can go up to the doorstep. Any insight?

Here's more on that story:

In Florida, the lawyer for a man who filed a civil suit two weeks ago claiming that Hernandez shot him in the face after they spent a night at a Miami strip club in February called that case “chillingly similar” to the prosecution’s depiction of the Lloyd murder.

Alexander Bradley said in the complaint that he and Hernandez got into an argument after leaving the club. They then pulled over in an industrial park, where, he said, Hernandez shot him. He lost an eye as a result of the shooting, his lawyer said.

“You are partying with a so-called friend,” said Bradley’s lawyer, Elizabeth Eilender. “You get in some dispute, and in a remote area you’re shot and left for dead.”

Bradley, who Eilender said had worked as a personal assistant to Hernandez, did not tell the police who shot him, which Eilender said was because he feared reprisal from Hernandez.

Ugh, so how many people were involved with this?

Is there a chance that AH wasn't the shooter?

Was the civil suit filed after the most recent shooting? Sounds like they are sniffing for $$$ now.

According to this June 19th article, it appears that the civil suit was filed on Thursday, June 13, then settled, but Bradley plans on refiling:

http://www.ibtimes.com/aaron-hernan...ce-he-suspect-odin-lloyd-murder-case-1314563#

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Florida last Thursday, Alexander S. Bradley sued Hernandez for an incident he says occurred in Miami in February, TMZ reports. The suit was filed just days before police searched Hernandez&#8217;s North Attleboro, Mass., home in their investigation into the killing of Odin Lloyd.

...

While Bradley had initially sued Hernandez for more than $100,000, the case will never get to court. TMZ notes that the lawsuit has already been dismissed, indicating that the two parties have reached a settlement. However, CBS Sports reports that Bradley plans to refile the suit on Wednesday.

While the lawsuit itself has been validated, it appears that Miami police did not deem it necessary to prosecute Hernandez in the alleged shooting of Bradley. Sports Illustrated's Greg Bedard notes that a police report was filed at the time of the incident, but it was "resolved quickly."
 
another little tidbit:

on Jan. 28 [two weeks before the Bradley shooting], Hernandez was a passenger in a black SUV driven by Bradley that was pulled over by a Massachusetts state trooper on Route 93 south, past Exit 12.

According to the arrest report, a copy of which was obtained by The Providence Journal, the SUV was stopped in the right travel lane, which the trooper considered to be "a very dangerous situation."

When the trooper pulled up behind the SUV in his cruiser, the SUV "took off at a very high rate of speed."

The trooper clocked the SUV, which he said was swerving across lanes without using a directional signal, at 80 mph as it crossed into Milton, and then reached speeds in excess of 100 mph just before Exit 9.

When the SUV finally pulled over and stopped, just past Exit 8, according to the arrest report, the trooper "asked the driver to put his hands on the wheel and he put them out the window. The front passenger was yelling: 'I'm Aaron Hernandez, it's OK!'"

But the trooper determined that "the occupants (of the SUV) were not a threat" and went on to administer several sobriety tests to Bradley, who said he and Hernandez had been at the Cure Lounge, on Tremont Street in Boston.

After performing poorly on other tests, Bradley registered over the legal limit on a portable breath test, and the trooper placed him under arrest.

The SUV, which had been rented by Hernandez, had to be towed because, according to the arrest report, "the front passenger was unable to drive."

A little more than two weeks later, Bradley again was driving when, he alleges in a civil suit, Hernandez shot him with a gun for which Bradley claims Hernandez did not have a license.

meanwhile, in his college years:

Police in Gainesville, Fla., where Hernandez played three years at the University of Florida, said they will not conduct further investigation into a 2007 shooting. Hernandez was interviewed by police after that incident in which two men were shot in a vehicle on a night following a Gators' football game.

"The description of the shooter was a black male. It was not even remotely close to Mr. Hernandez's color or build," Gainesville Police officer Ben Tobias told USA TODAY Sports. "We did a thorough investigation at that point, and it did not lead to him whatsoever."

Anyone who can shoot someone and get away with it becomes increasingly more confident with each incident.
