As the 2013 NBA Draft is just around the corner, Wednesday brought with it news that signaled the potential end of one career and the possible demise of his franchise.
Wednesday afternoon New England Patriots rising star tight end Aaron Hernandez, 23, was picked up from his North Attleborough home by Bristol County police and taken to the Bristol County District Court where he was later arraigned.
Within 90-minutes of being picked up by the police, Hernandez was released by the Patriots.
A short time later he faced the judge as the prosecution issued the charges against him.
Murder … along with five gun-related charges.
The arraignment was broadcast live on ESPN’s SportsCenter. Within moments, a few NBA players like Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry commented on the news via Twitter.
