On Wednesday, Aaron Hernandez was arraigned for the drive-by shootings of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado outside a club back in July. He plead not guilty. Wednesday was also the first time the prosecution revealed an alleged motive behind the murders.
While Hernandez was in the club, the D.A. claims Abreu accidentally bumped into him spilling his drink. He didn’t apologize. Hernandez was pissed as he felt people had been testing and disrespecting him at clubs on purpose. Surveillance video showed Hernandez angrily pacing outside the club before the victims left.
Abreu and Furtado had no idea they pissed off Hernandez and certainly didn’t know he was following them when they left. The prosecution says Hernandez pulled up alongside their car at a stoplight and said, “Yo, what’s up now, [racial slur]?” and fired at least five shots.
Some would say Aaron Hernandez’s reaction to being bumped in the club was a tad over-dramatic. In that regard, he and Gwyneth Paltrow have a lot in common. They should get together sometime.
