 The verdict is in. Former Patriot star Aaron Hernandez is guilty of first-degree murder and all other charges. He has now received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, whose body was found almost two years ago. Here's the CNN coverage of the verdict when it was announced this morning and reaction from Hernandez and his family. Madam Foreperson, on indictment 2013-983-A, charging the defendant Aaron Hernandez with murder, what say you Madam Foreperson? Is the defendant not guilty, guilty of murder in the first degree, or guilty of murder in the second degree? Guilty of murder in the first degree. Madam Foreperson, by which theory or theories deliberate premeditation and or extreme atrocity or cruelty? Extreme atrocity or cruelty. I just spoke with Boston Globe Sports columnist Dan Shaughnessy for his reaction on this verdict. I feel justice was served. I didn't listen to the entire trial, but the circumstantial evidence was seen to be overwhelming. And I never thought they had to have a weapon or produce a motive. It was just too much there. And I think the defense had very little and was trying to just go for loopholes and stretches of believability. So this looks to me like justice served. He got what he deserved and wouldn't be spiced if he gets the double murder hung on him as well. And now what would you say, how do you think this reflects on the Patriots organization? I think that the damage was done initially when he was arrested and then the trail of, I don't know, the trail of anecdotes and priors and all the stuff that was going on with this guy. It's a very strange, you know, Bill Belichick gave a very thoughtful press conference when he first came out about this. And I think they're chagrined. And it makes it hard to believe that they're paying attention or that they care that much about players' character. I think that, you know, if guys can play, they're going to overlook a lot of stuff. They're not going to overlook murderers, clearly. But they'll take bad characters if they can play. And this guy was a bad character. And do you think the verdict in this case will have any influence over the other pending cases against Hernandez? I would think it's independent. I mean, he's going to be in jail for the rest of his life now. So it's really about the victim's families and the double murder now and that they see justice served and that they have some accountability for what happened to their loved ones.
