Aaron Hernandez is currently in the Bristol County House of Correction for the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd and despite the evidence that is piled against him, the Patriots star has proclaimed his innocence in a letter from jail.
According to TMZ.com, the website obtained a letter sent to a fan in response to a letter sent to Hernandez that shows the Patriots tight end writing that "God" put him where he is now and saying that everything happens for a reason. Hernandez writes about false accusations, being not guilty and playing in the NFL again and he also said that he is humbled by what has happened that he knows he has true supporters.
Hernandez thanked the fan and also asked that the letter would be kept off social media, guess that didn't work out too well. Hernandez writes in the letter that he is a strong person and that the Lord will guide him and put him in this place for a reason. Hernandez claims that he is innocent and that he has been known for having an amazing heart and that nothing in jail will break him. Hernandez said that he will prove the haters wrong and that the pictures sent are now up on the wall in the cell he is in. Hernandez was arrested for the murder of Lloyd and was released by the Patriots soon after and this is the first contact that has gone public that Hernandez has made since being put in jail.
Hernandez has appeared in court multiple times and he is due in court again later in August for his probable cause hearing that was delayed. Hernandez is tied to the murder through a number of pieces of evidence, including cell phone messages, video surveillance, clothing and shell casings as well as testimony from one of the accomplices. Hernandez is facing life in prison and now the Patriots are in training camp and have done their best to move on since Hernandez was arrested.

Here is the text from the letters:
"Your letter meant alot and was very true! I know everything happens for a reason and I know "GOD" has a plan for me and something good will come out of this. The world just makes things out of false accusations and it will all die down especially when they say NOT GUILTY and all the people who turned on me will feel like crap. I've always been a great person an known for having an amazing heart! I am a strong person and nothing will break me! A C.O. will never nor can they say now for one day have I been down or not with a smile on my face. I know there is a reason I'm going thru this and I will figure it out through my relationship with the Lord. I fell off especially after making all that money but when it's all said and done "GOD" put me in the situation for a reason! I'm humbled by this ALREADY and this will change me forever. At least I'll know my true supporters. Thanks for being one of them!
Thanks,
Aaron Hernandez 81
