Throughout my entire life, I have been a fan of playing and watching football. Growing up I remember when my family and me would get together every Sunday to watch football. During those times, I often do remember the super bowl game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. From that instance, I was a fan of the Patriots. However one day my perspective changed about a certain player that I was a huge fan of, and that’s Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Normally when you read something similar to these articles, it forces the audience to place a sense of judgment that could be influential on their intake of the content. The first and second article portrays the view of Aaron Hernandez as neutral despite the evidence against him.

It was also told that between the times of 3:23 and 3:27 a.m. a few workers reported a sound of gunshots. The prosecution also presented a camera showing an Altima pulling into Hernandez’s driveway between 3:23 and 3:27 a.m. where three people got out of the car, and Lloyd not being one of them.”(Candiotti, Dolan, Ferrigno and Rozsa 2014).

Introduction The article “Is C.T.E. a Defense for Murder,” published in The New York Times, Amy Dillard, an associate professor at Baltimore School of Law, and Lisa A. Tucker, an associate professor at Dexter University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law, give their views about Aaron Hernandez being convicted of murder.

TV analysts yearly pick the Patriots to win the Super Bowl and by doing that it affects the fans’ expectations of the team. The NFL didn’t have a process to follow on how footballs should be handled before a game, thus leading the Patriots down this path. It wasn’t until after this incident, that the NFL implemented a gameday process for the handling of the footballs.

Why Fair Trials Should Live Up to Its Name The fathers of our nation believed that everyone has a right to a fair trial. However, when the fate of the defendant is put into the hands of a jury, it’s safe to say that prejudice comes into play.
