NEW YORK – The defence attorney for the late Aaron Hernandez is writing a book about the former NFL star and promises "shocking revelations."
Jose Baez’s "Unnecessary Roughness: The Life and Death of Aaron Hernandez" is coming out Aug. 21, Hachette Books told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The book was written with the co-operation of Hernandez’s fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, and will include a foreword by her. According to Hachette, "Unnecessary Roughness" will be the "definitive, insider" story on Hernandez.
Hernandez, a former standout tight end for the New England Patriots, was found hanging in his cell last April 19, hours before his ex-teammates were due to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. The 27-year-old athlete had been serving life without parole for a 2013 murder.
