In a move that is sure to raise tattooed eyebrows everywhere, a judge just OK’d prosecutors to use some of Aaron Hernandez’s tattoo against the former New England Patriot in trial.
Hernandez – who is already serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd – is now set to face trial next month for the drive-by fatal shootings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Prosecutors seem to have found an alleged connection between the murders and two of Hernandez’s tattoos, which he got done after the date the victims were shot dead—and a Massachusetts judge seems to have agreed with prosecutors because the tattoos will be allowed as evidence.
F–k! Even tattoos are fair game!
