Civil Suit and Criminal Case
Yesterday, a judge denied Aaron Hernandez's defense motion to delay a civil suit against him until after his murder trial.
The civil suit will move forward as scheduled.
Why is this important? Because Herandez's attorneys don't want details of that suit made public and don't want Hernandez to be subject to answering questions that could hurt him in criminal court.
It's alleged that Alexander Bradley (who filed the suit), a friend and errand-runner for Hernandez for years, may have known about the double murder drive-by which investigators believe Hernandez carried out. (Prosecutors believe that Odin Lloyd may have known about that double murder too and that may be why he's dead.)
Is that why Hernandez shot Bradley and dumped him in an alley, possibly left to die? Will Bradley be more open to giving the details of the argument he had with Hernandez now that Hernandez is locked up? We'll see.
According to a Florida police report, employees of a John Deere tractor store discovered Bradley near their store, on the ground in the fetal position, bleeding from the head with his eyes swollen shut on Feb. 13. At the time he declined to implicate Herandez, but filed his $100k civil suit 4 months later (before Hernandez was accused of shooting Odin Lloyd).
