Aaron Hernandez’s Fiancee Tells Dr. Phil She Thought His Suicide ‘Was a Hoax’
Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez sat down with Dr. Phil to talk publicly for the first time since the former New England Patriots player was found hanging in his Massachusetts prison cell on April 19.
The 2013 murder conviction (for the shooting of Odin Lloyd) against Hernandez was overturned on Tuesday due to a state law citing that defendants who die before their appeals are heard should have their convictions vacated.
The legal development now sets up a complex legal battle that could have the Patriots paying Jenkins-Hernandez $6.5 million in unpaid salary.
According to the teaser on the show’s website, “in the revealing interview, Jenkins-Hernandez sets the record straight about her fiancé’s mysterious jail cell death, rumors about his purported secret romantic life, and if she thinks he killed himself so that she could collect millions of dollars.”
