Teardrops for murders. Spider webs for prison time. Penal code numbers for crimes committed. Criminals have long used tattoos as indelible ink on their own bodily rap sheet. And for just as long, police have used tattoos as a way to identify suspects, a distinguishing characteristic to jog a memory or catch the public's eye. But only rarely does body art play a pivotal role as evidence posited as proof of wrongdoing. Aaron Hernandez has not received a single jailhouse tattoo during his time in the clink, despite reports to the contrary ... officials tell TMZ Sports. Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson tells us ... investigators searched Hernandez's body after reports surfaced that new ink appeared on his hand after he started his stint in Bristol County Jail. Some reports had suggested that the tats on the back of his right hand that read, "CBS/WBS IWBTG" -- were administered illegally while behind bars. But Sheriff Hodgson says the hand tattoo -- along with every other tattoo on the former NFL star's body -- was accounted for when Aaron arrived to the jail. Translation -- he does NOT have a jailhouse tat. In fact, we found photos from the day Hernandez was arrested last year ... and you can clearly see the markings on his right hand.

Aaron Hernandez signed a multimillion dollar signing bonus before his arrest, but apparently the former Patriot is having trouble paying his legal fees.
FOX Sports: Has learned that two attorneys for Hernandez have filed paperwork with the court, hinting they may not be representing him in this latest case for long.
Hernandez was arraigned Wednesday, accused in the 2012 double murder of two Boston men. Attorneys Charles Rankin and James Sultan have led Hernandez's defense team since his arrest in the Odin Lloyd murder case last year.
In the notice given to the court, the two attorneys say their representation in this latest case was "limited to arraignment only and related proceedings."
Hernandez's $12.5 million Patriots contract extension bonus and his North Attleboro home are tied up in a restraining order. The order stops Hernandez from using it to pay for anything not related to the future judgment of a civil lawsuit.
That suit was filed by the family of Lloyd.
The attorneys' notice to the court states Hernandez is in the process of seeking "financial arrangements to retain counsel."
They've asked that Hernandez be given 60 days to make those changes.

WASHINGTON — In 2009, Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the N.F.L., was skewered by lawmakers on Capitol Hill for denying the severity of concussions and failing to do more to help retired players with brain injuries. Five years later, the issue moved to the White House, with President Obama on convening some of the country’s top sports executives and researchers to find ways to combat the nation’s growing concussion crisis. The president’s conference, intended to heighten awareness around the issue, highlighted how quickly the problem has turned into a mainstream cause and how uncomfortable the N.F.L.’s role is as the conversation escalates. Officials for the N.F.L. and in other levels of the sport are increasingly confronting how to make their games safer while still retaining the speed, power and violence that make them so appealing. In doing so, they risk alarming the athletes, their families and fans who now see some of their favorite players having advanced dementia and committing suicide after facing severe mental health problems. Goodell acknowledged as much in March when he said that the N.F.L. would donate $45 million to USA Football, among other things, to expand certification programs for coaches who would be taught safer ways to tackle.

I 100% agree with you, I have 3 children of my own at home. If I was on my last dime with my family I would most certainly not move in with others were drug transactions are being made. If so me or anyone should be prepared for the worst, and unfortunately that's what happen in this case. Hopefully everything is ok with the child.

Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home last year, sat in the passenger seat of a black sedan and spoke on a cellphone as he arrived behind a police van at Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. The judge who will deliver a verdict in the case asked the hospital to determine if Pistorius had a mental disorder at the time of the shooting, which could affect whether he should be held criminally responsible. Pistorius must arrive by 9 a.m. and can leave by 4 p.m. each weekday, and has weekends off under an order from Judge Thokozile Masipa. Pistorius, who is free on bail, has been staying at the upscale Pretoria home of his uncle. Pistorius' outpatient status troubles some experts who say 24-hour observation is common in state psychiatric facilities. In the evenings, nursing staff can get additional insights into a patient's mental state that complement formal questioning and other tests during the day, say the experts. "There is a benefit" to the after-hours observation, said Lee-Ann Hartman, a clinical psychologist who has worked in state psychiatric facilities. Anyone who is Familiar with this case thinks Oscar is getting Special treatment Thought's? ?

Football Ex-Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez pleads not guilty to all charges in 2012 murders that DA says were sparked by a spilled drink The prosecution was unsparing in the details of the victims’ deaths. Hernandez fatally shot de Abreu, the driver of the BMW, in the head and Furtado, riding in the front passenger seat, in the chest, according to Haggan. They were both pronounced dead at the scene. Hernandez also allegedly shot a third victim sitting in the backseat, and two men escaped the bullets without harm. Witnesses told police that they “continued to hear a clicking noise as the defendant continued to pull the trigger of the gun after all the loaded bullets had been fired.” Read more: www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/aaron-hernandez-pleads-guilty-2012-murders-article-1.1808593#ixzz333Kn2MUc

BOSTON -- Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is due in court Wednesday May 28, 2014 to be arraigned on murder charges alleging he ambushed and gunned down two men in 2012 Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado after a chance encounter inside a Boston nightclub. Hernandez is scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon in Suffolk Superior Court in the shooting deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Prosecutors have said that after Hernandez and an associate encountered the two men in a club, Hernandez followed them in an SUV, pulled up alongside them as their vehicle stopped at a red light and opened fire. Hernandez, 24, already faces charges in the 2013 slaying of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. He was released by the Patriots last summer after his arrest in Lloyd's shooting death. Authorities have not said if there is any connection between the 2012 killings and Lloyd's slaying. Lloyd's body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough. Lloyd was dating a sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Hernandez's lawyers have said he is looking forward to proving his innocence.
Charges AH faces for killing Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado
2 counts of first-degree murder 3 counts of armed assult with intent to murder 1 count of assult and battery by means of a danerous weapon 1 count of unlawful possion of a fire arm
Hernandez, a former Pro Bowl tight end for the Patriots, who signed a 40 million dollar extension on his contract with New England, which included a $12.5 million signing bonus in August 2012, has been held without bail since his arrest on June 26, 2013 for the murder of Lloyd.

The Melissa James Murder Melissa James was beaten, drugged, stunned with a Taser, injected with morphine and strangled before she was “burned beyond anybody’s recognition” in the trunk of Ryan’s Jaguar. James’ head was encased in duct tape, and showed the court graphic photos of a “death mask” formed by her face when it peeled away with the heavy tape during her autopsy.Investigators could never say for sure whether James was still alive in the back of the red Jaguar caught on videotape outside a Wal-Mart – where Ryan bought charcoal starter fluid and a backyard barbecue set at 3:30 a.m. – or at a gas station where Titus, Ryan and a friend, Anthony Gross, allegedly bought another $2.66 worth of gasoline. The barbecue set was later found burned in Ryan’s car. Gross met Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan at the gas station and drove them back to Las Vegas after they set Kelly Ryan’s Jaguar ablaze in the desert outside Las Vegas.
Former IFBB pro-fitness competitor Kelly Ryan, who has been incarcerated since 2005 for her role in the death of Melissa James, went before the Nevada State Parole Board last week for consideration of parole on the first of two charges that netted possible incarceration time of three to 13 years. A first appearance before the board was unsuccessful two years ago, but yesterday parole was granted on the first charge of "battery with use of deadly weapon resulting in substantial harm." Ryan will now begin serving time on the second charge of arson - a mandatory three years - beginning January 2012. The two charges were part of an Alford plea that summarily swept her role in the murder component under the rug in exchange for Craig Titus' plea of murder. In an Alford plea, a criminal defendant does not admit guilt of an act, but admits the prosecution could likely prove their case, and accepts guilt for lesser charges as part of a plea deal.
She will be eligible for parole again in 2015. My thing is should anybody not just Kelly Ryan get a second chance after her roll in ''MURDER''?

An associate of ex-Patriot Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge today in Fall River Superior Court for the alleged execution-style killing of a 27-year-old Dorchester man near Hernandez’s North Attleboro mansion in the summer of 2013. Carlos Ortiz’s voice cracked when he pleaded “not guilty” for the murder of Odin Lloyd in June 2013. Prosecutors allege Ortiz did “assault with intent to murder” Lloyd prior to his execution-style shooting. Judge E. Susan Garsh held Ortiz on no bail despite his lawyer’s objection.“None of the facts have changed,” attorney John Connors told Garsh while arguing Ortiz’s bail should remain at $500,000. No new evidence against Ortiz was stated in open court.Ortiz had been charged with accessory after the fact in connection with Lloyd’s murder. A grand jury indicted him on the more serious charge last month. Lloyd’s mother wept in the hallway after Ortiz’s arraignment, but declined to speak. A pretrial conference was scheduled for Sept. 24 and the pretrial hearing was scheduled for Nov. 24.

It's a lousy time to be Aaron Hernandez's friend. His fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, has been charged with perjury; his cousin and close pal Tanya Singleton is facing criminal contempt and accessory counts; Oscar Hernandez, Jr. (no relation), has been pinched for perjury, witness tampering and obstruction of justice in connection with an interstate gun trafficking investigation, including the fire-arms found at Aaron's house by police. Worse off by far, though, are Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, the two men held in the shooting of Lloyd. Both of them, longtime buddies of Hernandez, have been indicted for first-degree murder. Under the joint-venture theory in Massachusetts law, if prosecutors decide to use it, each can be convicted and sentenced to life in prison if a jury finds Hernandez pulled the trigger. By now, they've surely learned what the rest of us have: the man is mad, bad and dangerous to know – even if your only acquaintance with him is bumping shoulders at noisy night-spot. Alleged associate of Aaron Hernandez will plead NOT GUILTY to murdering Odin Lloyd when he is arraigned on murder charges in Massachusetts later today ... his lawyer tells TMZ Sports. Carlos Ortiz -- will appear in court this afternoon to be arraigned in the murder of Odin Lloyd. Oritz was initially charged with unlicensed possession of a firearm in connection with the case -- but now prosecutors think they have enough to convict him of murder. But Ortiz's lawyer, Mike Maloney, tells us ... Carlos will enter a not guilty plea when he faces the judge today and says his client insists he's innocent. Hernandez has already been charged with murder -- as well as another alleged associate, Ernest Wallace. Both men have also pled not guilty. It's unclear what new evidence prosecutors have gathered to up the charge against Ortiz.

Flores was born in Honduras in 1975, although has used dates of birth ranging from 1975 to 1982. Flores has claimed he received a large surgical scar on his neck as a result of an injury sustained in Hurricane Mitch in Honduras in 1998. In 2006, Flores' DNA sample taken in Arizona was added to the Combined DNA Index System. In March 2007, his DNA sample positively matched to "Carlos'" DNA left at the crime scene in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has been determined that "Carlos" and Flores are the same person.On March 22, 2007, a local arrest warrant was obtained in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Flores was charged with murder and various other felonies. On the same date, a federal arrest warrant for Flores was obtained in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Flores was added to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on June 2, 2007. He replaced Shauntay Henderson on the list. There is a ''REWARD'' of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to Flores' capture offered by the FBI. He is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Flores is fluent in Spanish and English and believed to be either in his native Honduras or having returned to the United States. ''We hope''
