On Wednesday afternoon, former New England Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder (along with five other gun-related offenses) in connection with the death of Odin Lloyd, whose body was found about a mile from Hernandez’ home last Monday. Hernandez was arraigned in Attleboro (Mass.) District Court and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was denied bail and will remain in jail. In Massachusetts, the charge of first-degree murder carries a life sentence without the chance for parole.
