For those who don't speak latin/legalese:

Hopefully (but doubtful) they can prove that Hernandez's suicide was orchestrated by his attorney and the attorney can face criminal charges.

Wait, what?
Everyone who dies in jail (assuming this is only in Massachusetts?) who hasn't had their case reach the supreme court (aka exhausted their legal appeals?) is now considered not guilty?
