NEW: Mass. Supreme Judicial Court has reinstated Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction. - NBC10Boston
What to KnowThe Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has reinstated former New England Patriots' star Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction.
Prosecutors argued that it doesn't make sense that Hernandez is now innocent in the eyes of the law just because he died before his appeal could be heard. They urged the court to reinstate Hernandez's conviction and do away with the legal principle for future cases. John Thompson, Hernandez's appellate attorney, told the Supreme Judicial Court there's nothing wrong with the doctrine and the alternatives floated by prosecutors are problematic.
Roman Catholic priest John Geoghan, a key figure in the clergy sex abuse scandal that rocked the Boston archdiocese and spread across the globe, also had his child molestation conviction vacated after he was beaten to death in 2003 in his cell at the same Massachusetts maximum-security prison where Hernandez died.
