It's been two years since Aaron Hernandez killed himself in one of the Massachusetts prisons, and the American public has never been more stunned after his life.
Much of this fixation has to be attributed to the questions that remained unanswered after he died: Did he kill himself? What sexuality was there? Should chronic-traumatic encephalopathy be blamed for his paranoid behavior and consequently homicides?
These mysteries may never be revealed, but the new Netflix documentary, "Killer Inside: The Midn of Aaron Hernandez," sheds light on the factors that led to the fall of the American football star in 2017. In the three-part series directed by Geno mc Dermott, experts, friends and family explore his troubled childhood, life on and off the field, the crimes and diagnoses that caused so much speculation.
The documentary begins with the crimes that led Hernandez to prison. The former footballer was charged with first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of future brother-in-law, Odin Lloyd. As soon as the case was closed in court, Hernandez was also charged with shooting two other men in a car exchange.
Consequently, he was acquitted, but to no avail. Aaron committed suicide five days later.
To understand this course of the story, the documentary focuses on five key points:
His Humorous Fluctuations: Full people report that Hernandez was at ease and quiet a moment and extremely irritable a second later. These mood swings were caused by chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative disease that was diagnosed after death.
The football star had advanced encephalopathy: Neuropathologists can't say for sure that the blame was the disease that causes memory loss, depression and dementia, but they know that it rules their lives.
Hernandez's doubts about his sexuality: Before he died, Hernandez was rumored to be gay and a childhood friend of his confirmed this version. Unable to admit herself, Hernandez showed dislike for gay men.
Aaron found prison a comfortable place: The documentary says that Aaron became so accustomed to life behind bars that he surprised even the oldest officers.
Hernandez's childhood was even more troubled than he thought: The NFL star was abused by a male nanny when he was little. Moreover, Aaron's father was violent with him and his brother.
