Aaron Hernandez Destroyed Home Security System and Phone, Sources Tell ABC News

[cali]

This guy is looking suspicious as hell.

Police plan to go back to the home of New England Patriot's tight end Aaron Hernandez today with another warrant based on evidence that "he destroyed his home security system,'' an investigator close to the case told ABC News.

The investigator, and other law enforcement sources, confirmed that the security system - which included video surveillance - was smashed intentionally.

And a cell phone used by Hernandez was handed over to investigators "in pieces'' by his attorneys, the sources said.

Police also want to know why a team of house cleaners were hired on Monday to scrub Hernandez's mansion, sources told ABC News.

4. I read this story earlier today. Also, note bottom of the first page:

Hernandez is being sued by a former friend who lost his eye after he claims the Patriots player shot him in the face in February. A lawsuit in that case stated that Hernandez "possessed a gun he was not legally licensed to have."

There is a bunch of strange stuff going on there. "Strange" is a pretty tame word for it, too.

7. My initial thought was "gets drunk, likes to play with guns". That's just my guess, anyway.

There's seemingly a whole subtype of person who, for whatever reason, just has to pull out the gun and start fiddling with it or whatever, when they're drunk. It probably doesn't even need to be mentioned how dangerous that pastime is.

5. Yikes!

Sucks being him.

[msongs]

8. so is it illegal to destroy things you own now? nt

[cali]

9. no. that would not be the problem. the problem is that it looks like he destroyed potentially

incriminating evidence. This makes investigators even more suspicious.

[Nevernose]

10. No, but a wee bit suspicious

When you've just been made the lead suspect in a homicide investigation.

11. I think the problem is that he hasn't been ruled out as a suspect in a murder

committed earlier this week. I don't think the story is about the trashed equipment. Its about how said trashed equipment makes him look worse for the murder.
