Unnecessary Roughness: Inside the Trial and Final Days of Aaron Hernandez by Jose Baez  | Conversation Starters

Disgraced football star Hernandez told his lawyer Jose Baez to share his story including “the good, the bad, and the ugly.” He was arrested on June 26, 2013, on charges of shooting Odin Lloyd. On 2017, he was declared innocent of a 2012 murder charge. After his suicide, examinations showed that he had the brain of a much older man though he was just in his late 20s. Baez says learning about Hernandez’s CTE affliction puts perspective on his past behavior. Baez also explains how information is misused and mishandled to falsely construct stories against the accused. 
The book is a New York Times bestseller. It is written by Baez who authored the national bestseller Presumed Guilty: Casey Anthoney, The Inside Story.

Hernandez was already serving a life sentence when he approached Baez. He was eventually declared not guilty after Baez’s defense in a double-murder trial. They were set to contest his other conviction when, a few days after their first courtroom victory, Hernandez committed suicide in his prison cell.
