Netflix Releases Scary Trailer For Aaron Hernandez Documentary Series

Aaron Hernandez is making headlines even after his death. The former New England Patriots tight end was convicted of murder and took his life in a prison cell. Netflix released the first trailer for “Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez.” It’s the latest three-part documentary series about Hernandez.

It’s a chilling trailer, and viewers are even able to hear his voice on the end of a phone call he made while incarcerated.

“My whole body’s shaking right now,” Hernandez says.

“What happened?” the woman on the phone said.

“You know my temper,” Hernandez responded.

Well, this temper had a huge role in his life, and it marked his downfall. In 2013, Hernandez was arrested on a charge of killing Odin Lloyd. Two years later, the former tight end was convicted of murdering Lloyd. In 2017, Massachusetts juries acquitted Hernandez of murdering Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

Hernandez was on a life sentence without a chance of parole for the murder of Lloyd. He committed suicide right after his acquittal on charges of murdering Abreu and Furtado.

A judge threw out his conviction that year, citing the legal principle that holds that a defendant convicted at trial who dies before the appeal is heard shouldn’t be seen as guilty. The prosecution appealed, and the highest court of Massachusetts reinstated Hernandez’s murder conviction earlier this year.

The story of Aaron Hernandez

The series will feature courtroom footage from Hernandez’s trial and his phone calls from prison. It will also have some of the interviews with people who knew the tight end. The series is made by the same studio that made Making a Murderer and Evil Genius.

Hernandez was drafted into the league at 20, and he had just signed a five-year $40 million contract with the Patriots when he was taken down in 2013 for the murder of Lloyd.

“Killer Inside” will be released on January 15. It’s one of the most talked-about documentaries, and a great number of NFL fans will watch it to learn more about Hernandez’s life and the tragedy that brought it to an end. The series is expected to become a hit, and it’s a must-see.
