Aaron Hernandez was a rising NFL star whose professional football career was up and running. But on June 26, 2013, the nation awoke to the sight of a star player on one of the NFL's model franchises being escorted out of his house by police, a T-shirt pulled over his cuffed wrists. New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged later that day with the murder of Odin Lloyd, whose body had been found six days earlier near Hernandez’s home. How does a rising NFL star, just 21 years old at the time he was drafted by the then golden child of the NFL, end up being led out of his home in handcuffs? Sarah's here to tell us all about it.
