Conviction to be set aside since appeal was pending. Strange. I had never heard of it myself.

No. He died a convicted man in jail. He might get his conviction overturned post-death on a technicality

He was serving life in prison for a separate murder

He was already convicted of murder and sentenced to life, what is your point?

Nobody believes this shite... not even him

Apparently set aside because of a pending appeal.
Abated by the petitioner's death.

Aaron Hernandez’s murder conviction is expected to be dismissed posthumously because of a legal rule called “abatement.”
That would mean, legally speaking, Aaron Hernandez died an innocent man.
Hernandez hanged himself in his prison cell and was found dead early Wednesday morning, the Massachusetts Department of Correction said. Hernandez had been serving a sentence of life in prison without parole after being convicted of the June 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
But a court will vacate that conviction because Hernandez’s appeal was pending, said Rosanna Cavallaro, a law professor at Suffolk University who has written about abatement.
“The idea is that if an appeal hasn’t happened, there’s a chance that a conviction has an error in it,” she told CNN. “Rather than have someone with that incomplete decision that they’re guilty, the state chooses instead to say that conviction is abated — as if it never had happened.”
The conviction’s dismissal is “pro forma,” or automatic, she said.
Hernandez, who was acquitted last Friday in a separate murder trial, had appealed the Lloyd murder conviction. A date for a hearing had not been set.
The abatement law is “quirky” and “esoteric,” Cavallaro said, but not without significant consequences.
Civil lawsuits, in which a harmed party sues for damages, often rely on a criminal conviction as its basis of facts.
“You could piggyback off that criminal conviction to get to the place where you’re only litigating damages,” Cavallaro said. “Now that’s not available anymore.”

Though often frustrating, the rule is still a solid one for ensuring a just system that includes appeals, Cavallaro said.
“If you die before that part of the process, it’s as if we’re saying you didn’t get the full process,” she said. “We’d rather err on the side of erasing convictions, than allow convictions to stand that have not been reviewed.”

I think that's kinda fricked up. But at least he's finally dead.
Posted on 4/19/17 at 6:36 pm to Elleshoe
No he died guilty of many sins and will burn in hell forever.

Yeah that's just retarded, the guy was a thug and killed people. Anyone who denies that is simply an idiot. Glad that piece of shite is dead and isn't wasting any more tax dollars

I heard Aaron Hernandez was executed to get our minds off of Trump's taxes.
