<p class="mol-para-with-font">Aaron Hernandez&#8217;s murder conviction will not be reinstated following his death in prison, a justice on Massachusetts&#8217; highest court has declared.<br />
Hernandez, a former player for the New England Patriots, was convicted in 2013 of murdering his friend, Odin Lloyd, but in May he killed himself in prison while awaiting an appeal.<br />
Under Massachusetts law, courts typically erase the convictions of defendants who die before their direct appeals can be heard &#8211; a legal principle that Justice David Lowy upheld on Friday.<br />

<div class="container-3zJLP vertical-2XJd5">The player killed himself while jailed for allegedly killing Odin Lloyd. Massachusetts law says convictions under appeal must be erased if the convict dies. Justice David Lowy said on Friday that convictions would only then be restored &#8216;in exceptional circumstances&#8217;</div>

</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Hernandez hanged himself from the window of his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts, on April 19.<br />
In May, a Superior Court judge voided his conviction for the death of Lloyd, who was found shot dead in an industrial estate a mile from Hernandez&#8217;s house.<br />
In July, Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn III in July filed an appeal with Lowy, saying erasing the conviction would undermine the public&#8217;s trust in jury verdicts.<br />
But in Friday&#8217;s brief ruling, Lowy said Quinn&#8217;s request is &#8216;exercised only in exceptional circumstances.&#8217;</p>

<div class="byline">According to the <a class="" href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/10/17/aaron-hernandez-led-horrendous-existence-lawyers-cte-lawsuit-filed-against-nfl-say/cuyMClTnbuivstAMrAoMDM/story.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Boston Globe</a>, Aaron Hernandez wallowed in a “horrendous existence” brought on by head trauma before he killed himself in prison, attorneys for his estate said in their refiled lawsuit against the National Football League.</div>
<div class="article-text hide-on">
<p>The stark phrase was used repeatedly in the 86-page civil complaint filed October 16 in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham against the NFL and the Riddell company, the league’s official helmet provider from 1989 to 2013.<br />
The estate claims Hernandez, a New England Patriots tight end from 2010 to 2013, suffered chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease commonly known as CTE, after sustaining blows to the head while wearing Riddell helmets during a period that spanned from youth football to his professional career, which ended when he was arrested in 2013 for murder.<br />
“Aaron experienced a chaotic and horrendous existence in many respects, due to his [previously] undiagnosed brain injury,” the complaint said, adding that CTE symptoms include “aggression, explosive behavior, loss of concentration, mood swings, depression, apathy, and cognitive impairment.”<br />
Hernandez according to the report, had suffered Stage 3, of 4, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) &#8211; a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head, according to an autopsy performed by two neuropathologists in Boston University&#8217;s CTE Center. A condition which recent studies show afflicts nearly 99 per cent of deceased NFL players.<br />
The Patriots organization are bracing to defend the outcome of Hernandez&#8217;s brain report and the family&#8217;s impending lawsuit.</p>
