odin lloyd had knowledge.ieve that was the spot where allegedly the double murder took place and allegedly provided the motive for killing odin lloyd. he'll now face that double murder in the boston area. he won't be carted off to prison. >> interesting. as sentencing phase begins there will be witness impact statements. those will come from odin lloyd's mother sister and uncle. i'll sure they'll be very emotional. is mel robbins still around? >> yep. >> if we know what the sentence is going to be why are those impact statements necessary? >> it's not necessarily a question of whether they're necessary, carol, as much as they are part of the process. so when you have a trial like this and you have the criminal justice system do its thing and have the defendant have his day in court and you have the prosecution under our laws have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, you give a chance to the victims to actually speak out and weigh in. it's not only because in many cases there aren't mandatory sentenci

what about odin lloyd? and odin lloyd, mark my words, tip of the iceberg.e iceberg. >> let me stay with you and just ask you this follow-up with regard to aaron hernandez's life behind bars. when you have this superstar, this guy who was making $40 million playing ball is he the kind of guy who will be revered by fellow inmates -- >> totally. >> -- will he be isolated? what will his life be like? >> he'll be totally revered. look at o.j. simpson. he's the king behind bars. he has people making up his bed, cleaning up his room. and he pays them. he gives them money, food whatever amenities you can give behind bars. hernandez is going to have the same thing. but it's not over yet for hernandez because many court watchers believe that the reason odin lloyd was murdered is because he knew lloyd knew about the other double murder committed by hernandez. >> which, by the way, the prosecution is continuing on that. apparently the trial date has been moved, but it will be set. that's still on. judge, let me move to you. my question is what did you make of the judge

odin was the man of the house. odin was his sister's keeper.fter my daughter, olivia, had her daughter, sonia, odin became sonia's -- odin attended every one of sonia's recitals. odin was sonia's biggest supporter in every aspect of his life. olivia and shakila had two sons, who will never know their uncle odin. these last couple of years has been the hardest time of our lives. i was asked to write my brother's eulogy and that's the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. and i wrote it with a smile because i got to write all the great memories that i had of him. >> joining us now is the district attorney of bristol county, thomas quin, who managed the successful prosecution of aaron hernandez. mr. quin, thank you very much for joining us, joining us on this night. i know how long a day this has been for you. could you tell us what it was like to be in that courtroom today when that verdict was returned? >> well, it was very emotional. it had been a long deliberation and when the verdict came in, i think we all were very happy with it, that th

we looked across the aisle to the mother of odin lloyd. she pumped her fists in the air as if a sign of relief. before aaron hernandez was sentenced to live in prison she addressed the court and said she forgave the people responsible and played a role in the death of her only son. afterwards the jurors were asked why they took seven days to reach a verdict. they said it wasn't a long time. they took a long time because they were careful about all of the evidence they had to consider. then there was this from the jurors. they said they only found out from the judge after the trial that aaron hernandez faces a double murder case in boston that is yet to come. he is also facing accusation that he shot someone in the face. someone they heard testimony from during this trial. after the verdict was over and aaron hernandez was led from the courtroom to his prison. a source said he told his jailors this i didn't do it. they got it wrong. evidently the jury did agreed. john and christies. >> susan candiotti for us this morning. a may 28th start d

odin lloyd had his whole life ahead of him.ing time developing a lovelly relationship. every day this young man made the effort to ride his bicycle from dorell chester to norwood to earn a paycheck. as you could see from the comment today. he did not deserve to fall victim to the brutal and truly senseless murder that aaron hernandez in and out stands convicted of committing. throughout this entire process, odin lloyd's family has showed grace, dignity and patience during this difficult ordeal. they appeared in court every day, conducted themselves with the utmost class. only they can appreciate how different this ordeal was for them and any family faced with a similar tragedy. ursula ward has led her family throughout this tremendous catastrophe and had to do it with a public spotlight on her every step of the way. a very special person. i would like to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for the performance of our trial team. bill macaulay and the team spent most of the time during the last 22 months focusing on this

a maurrijuana joint that contained dna from aaron hernandez and odin lloyd. they saw home security video showing hernandez carrying something. >> in my opinion, the firearm shown in the stills is a glok pistol. >> or is an r it an ipad? >> two theories. the fiance got immunity and they heard from her. >> the defendant said it was important that you gedown there and get this box and get rid it of is that right? >> i believe so. >> they had to digest the stunning 180 during closing arguments putting him that scene of the cream. >> he was a kid that had witnessed something, the killing of someone he knew and he really didn't know what to do. >> they spent seven days trying to decide beyond a reasonable doubt what all of that evidence added up to. none of them had been on a jury before for that length of time and they all say once is enough. there was a lot of witnesses and evidence presented. is that what made it so difficult or was there also just the emotional toll of dealing with somebody's life? >> you have to consider everything. you want to make sure that

lloyd and showed no emotion of pictures worn by odin lloyd. >> when odin lloyd's mother spoke he shows no reaction. and when he was shown dirty dancing up close with someone other than his fiancee and rocking in his chair and licking his lips and rubbing his chin when he finds he will learn the rest of his life behind bars and mouthing the words, "they're wrong." susan candiotti. >> and the question is how does someone like that affect you, the jury. here is part two of my conversation with the hernandez jury. >> i notice you have called him aaron. and i think people who haven't been on a jury don't understand the intimacy that exists in a courtroom where somebody is sitting, you know a couple of feet away from you, and -- >> for three months every day. >> that is right. >> yeah. >> did you look at him a lot. did he look at you? >> oh, yeah. one time we made contact and he nodded to me at one time. and it is hard. you come in that room every day and you see this person. and it's hard to come to that decision at the end because three months with them it is almost like you -- they're par

we didn't know aaron hernandez was going to shoot odin lloyd. be aaron hernandez's defense, that had to be from day one, not the way the defense portrayed it. >> we have a quick sound bite where he was talking about it saying flat out he was there. you're saying he should have done this from the get go. let's watch that. >> when he acknowledged he was there, you said you were shocked. was that an important moment for you? was it an important admission? did that affect your decision making? >> more corroboration, i would think. >> and everyone definitely discussed it. >> you're nodding. >> yeah well it was a surprising development in such a long trial. i agree with you. if that's your strategy you should have had it out there much sooner. but it seemed to tie up all the evidence the circumstantial evidence the footprint and the tire print and the marijuana cigarette with his dna on it. i didn't understand it. >> mark geragos, we were all really watching through the arc of this trial, watching aaron hernandez. you would see him smacking gum and sm

martha: i believe the woman in the blue dress is odin lloyd's mother.have been sitting on opposite sides of the courtroom. one of the sisters was dating odin lloyd because aaron hernandez, you see sitting there, shrunk into this seat after getting this news which appeared to him quite a shock. his attorneys there with him obviously thinking, judge how they will appeal this case whether or not they have any avenue for appeal. there was one bit of evidence in terms of the dna testing that was found on a shell casing at the scene. in testing hernandez's dna was found on the shell casing, that may have been, you know, the piece of evidence that they hung this on. also the video that showed hernandez walking out of his house, with something black in his hand. >> right. martha: the jurors may have interpreted as murder weapon, judge. >> you know the defense closing argument was very unusual. i never really heard this happen before. after all these weeks and months in the courtroom, which they did a very good job of cross-examining the government's witnesses t

odin lloyd was dating shaneah jenkins. >> what did you learn? >> that odin was dead. >> she also shared this about seeing hernandez after the murder. >> asked me if i was okay. put his hand on my shoulder kind of rubbed my shoulder and told me he had through this death thing before it will get better with time. >> for once two sisters, once close, sat on opposite sides of the courtroom. shayanna set behind her fiancee. shan eah behind odin lloyd's family. unnoticed in court. >> have you close as sisters? have you been in the past? >> i mean we've estranged kind of. >> shayanna and shaneah grew up where aaron hernandez was the star of the football steam. shayanna high school sweetheart ran track. her younger sister shaneah made honor role. the sister introduced to odin lloyd. the couples hung out together at hernandez house. shayanna testified the sisters would often go shopping while the boys stayed in what they called the man cave smoking marijuana. those memories long gone by the time shaneah testified shayanna had been acting strangely after

and at one point appearing to say be strong and then i quickly looked over to the mother of victim odinloyd and she was pumping her arms in the air in relief as if to say thank you and what a contrast of emotion. there were tears on the other side too but tears of great relief that finally this ordoleeal for them is over even though they don't have their son. >> we'll have more from odin lloyd's mother soon but 7 days of deliberation. what took them so long? >> reporter: they felt that didn't take so long. they had a lot of evidence to go over and they were taking their time because they took their job very, very seriously. and it's interesting to note that sources say when he was on his way to prison he was acting as though all of this was no big deal and guess what brooke he's being held at a prison just a few miles from gillette stadium where he used to play for the patriots. >> where he was a star. and excellent reporting from you. let me bring in legal commentator and law professor. and also with me tonight, robens cnn analyst, mark, my goodinize,nessness goodness. we have a lot to

and the family of victim odin lloyd, no lessee emotional, openly weaking and shedding tears of relief.. sentencing came a short time later, an opportunity for lloyd's family members to speak directly to the court and to hernandez. lloyd's mother, ursula, calling him the backbone of the family and talked about the pain of burying her own son. >> i felt like i wanted to go into the hole with my son, odin. >> his sister, olivia, fighting back tears as she tell tess court, his murder feels like a bad dream. >> i won't ever see him again, but i have to go to his grave sight to look at his tombstone to tell him that i love him. >> and with that, hernandez is sentenced to lye in prisonment with no chance for parole, a fall from grace for the nfler who was under a $40 million contract with the patriots. speaking after the sentencing, the jury described how they were deliberate in their decision making and said one of the key moments was testimony from patriots owner robert kraft. kraft testified hernandez told him he was innocent because the football player said he was in a club at the time o

>> i think you saw odin's mother ursula very impressive woman. she was patient, was the leader of the family, at every court appearance. very classy a lot of grace and when she made that impact statement forgiving the people who murdered her son, it spoke volumes about who she was and that's what want to hear but quite an impressive woman. >> it was quite powerful hearing that from that mother there. and also hearing from the jurors one thing struck me is they used the word indifference indifference on aaron hernandez and indifference after the fact when you see him walking around in his surveillance video around the pool with his child and also they talked about having to prove cruelty and one shot would be cruel enough but six shots. i mean, what do you think those key moments were for them? >> it's fascinating to hear them speak. i haven't heard all of their comments. the jury deliberations, obviously seekcret and to hear them speak, and it's reasonable for them to conclude that it was atrocious. he left the scene, went to his house, seemed ca

>> odin lloyds? >> yes. >> and you notice that?> let's hope she has some peace. >> it is fascinating to discuss the details with that jury. more insight from jury consultant whose included o.j. simpson and heidi flies and others. and the jurors didn't know about the text messages and they didn't know about the two other murder charges and they said that learning that made them relieved that they made the right decision and in the verdict and glad they didn't know about it during deliberations. what do you make of that? >> well it is pretty extraordinary. in a high profile trial like this the jurors didn't pay attention and didn't do their own independent research and they were diligent in really following everything. and here is a guy who played for the patriots their home team and sort of an icon and they knew they have his life in their hands. so it is a very difficult decision. so this after the fact information, you could see it causes great relief in them to see this reinforces their verdict and made it easier to swallow after

they must decide if aaron hernandez shot is and killed odin lloyd. defense attorneys are arguing it's his friends responsible. that aaron hernandez himself was planning his future not a murder. we haven't had had had any notes from the jurors this past day. the last note was monday when they asked to reschedule a regular smoking break. when the jury reconvenes this morning at 9:00 a.m., it will be their seventh day of deliberations. will they reach a verdict? >>> two college students have been arrested and another is being sought in what police say was a spring break gang rape on the beach in panama city florida. ryan calhoun and valente bart bartista. they say it took place on a beach while others watched. officials are expressing their outrage. >> we can wear t-shirts that say save our beach all we want to. but that is not going to restore this girl who was viciously violated by these individuals. >> police say the victim contacted them after recognizing her tattoos. she told them she remembers taking a drink but does not remember rape. >>> actress

this as prosecutors say evidence clearly shows hernandez had a calculated plan to kill odin lloyd. cnn's susan candiotti picks up the story. >> reporter: a day of passionate closing arguments by both prosecutors and defense in the case of aaron hernandez. prosecutors for the very first time identifying hernandez as the trigger man in the shooting death of odin lloyd. and defense attorneys for the first time saying that aaron hernandez was, in fact at the crime scene, saying this. calling him a 23-year-old kid who in their words witnesses something committed by somebody he knew. indicating that they are trying to shift the blame on the two other people who were in the car that night. now, the jury spent about an hour and a half deliberating and will have their first full day of deliberations beginning in the morning at 9:00 a.m. christine and john? >> our thanks to susan for that. >>> rand paul is hitting the ground running today. his first full day as a declared presidential candidate. the kentucky senator will hold a rally in new hampshire, of course home of the nation's first pri

spectators gasped and aaron hernandez sat down when the jury pronounced him guilty of the murder of odin lloyd. >> guilty of murder in the first degree. >> oh!! >> reporter: hernandez's mother and fiancee sobbed in the courtroom as did the mother of the victim. the judge sentenced hernandez to mandatory life in prison without parole. lloyd's body was found shot to death in june of 2013 in an industrial area less than a mile from the football player's home. lloyd's girlfriend and hernandez's fiancee are sisters. during closing arguments, hernandez's lawyer admitted his client was there when lloyd was killed but blamed the shooting on two of the star athletes' friends. >> a shocking killing committed by somebody he knew. >> reporter: the prosecution didn't have a murder weapon or eyewitness. prosecutors argued hernandez appeared angry at lloyd two days before the shooting and it was hernandez who killed lloyd then tried to cover it up. >> he believed he could kill odin lloyd and nobody would ever believe that he was involved. >> reporter: hernandez was also convicted of weapons charges. he

the defense admitting for the first time that hernandez witnessed the murder of odin lloyd, but theyhat two other men, earnest wallace and carlos ortiz were the ones that actually committed the act, pulled the trigger. >> prosecutors portray hernandez as a cold, calculating man. a man capable of pulling the trigger on someone simply he thought disrespected him. let's discuss all of this. cnn legal analyst mel robbins is here and danny cevallos, a criminal defense attorney. danny what about this whopper that john berman brings up. it seems a pretty big deal to bring up for the first time in closings. by the way, he was there. he witnessed it. >> i'm actually not surprised. the entire case -- there is so much powerful circumstantial evidence he was there, you had to wonder when the defense would address this issue and what better time to do that than closing arguments when prosecution can't put evidence on anymore. the other counter to this. have you lost your credibility with the jurors if you don't raise this defense during the entire case but only at the end say, okay, it's not a wh
