But his lawyer said he just witnessed the shooting, he didn't do it, the other guys did.

Yes, he described him as a young kid who didn't know what to do. C'mon...

I did not follow this as closely as I did some other high profile court cases. What I did read didn't seem to be enough to sway me from voting guilty.

I heard on the radio that the defense didn't call a lot of witnesses, which often means that you under-defend because you don't think the prosecution has adequately proved the case.  ...and defending just adds credence to it.

That whole reasonable doubt thing can easily get stretched so you never know.

Here's the interesting question... If Hernandez is found innocent of all charges, is there any chance he gets back in the NFL?

No. Ray Rice can't find work no way in hell Hernandez would

Ray Rice did something bad that he was caught for/confessed to.  And it was on video-tape.  If Hernandez is cleared of all charges, I bet you that he'll eventually show up in the NFL again.  Even though it seems everyone pretty much knows he did it, if he is found not guilty in the eyes of the law, it'd be pretty screwed up to deny him employment.

No chance in hell any team would sign him. The backlash they would get and the media circus it would create would be unbearable. Just because Herandez were to "get off" and not go to jail, in the minds of many he still did it and is guilty. Plus his off the field antics alone, even if he is found not guilty of murder, is not one of someone you want on your team or in your locker-room.

And he wouldn't be denied employment, he just wouldn't be able to work in the NFL. I'm sure there is a job out there for him. It's not a "right" to play in the NFL

I bet you could've said the same thing about Mike Vick, and he was actually convicted.

I was just about to bring up the Vick situation, when I saw that you beat me to it. I would have bet cash money that Vick would never again play in the NFL, but he somehow gained forgiveness from most of the football fans out there. Not sure it parallels Hernandez' case, but it would be interesting to see how it all plays out, should he be exonerated.

Rice is a RB on the wrong end of his career arc.  Hernandez can still contribute.

If, say, Matt Stafford were facing Hernandez' changes, a Not Guilty verdict would definitely mean he would be back in the league; QBs are too valuable to stand on principle.  But a TE is a different story.  Hernandez was not equal to Gronk or Graham, so I'm not sure if his talent would outweigh the negative PR.

Mike Vick hurt dogs. Hernandez shot and killed another human being and more than just once and has ties to violent Gangs.  It's a bad comparison
