Attorney of Hernandez Releases Statement Regarding Investigation

Attorney Michael Fee released a brief statement Monday night defending his client Aaron Hernandez.

Remaining silent since the start of the investigating into the death of Odin Lloyd, a lawyer representing Aaron Hernandez released a statement on Monday night according to WEEI. The release from attorney Michael Fee said the following"

“Over the past week, our client, Aaron Hernandez, has been the subject of a relentless flood of rumors, misinformation, and false reports in the media. These include the repeated publication of a supposedly confirmed report that an arrest warrant had been issued for Aaron, a report that was exposed as untrue. None of these false reports come from official sources and we appreciate the professionalism and restraint shown by the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office to date with regard to its public statements while its investigation is underway. Out of respect for that ongoing investigation, we will continue to refrain from commenting on its substance.”

Since the body of Lloyd was found near an industrial park in North Attleboro on June 17, police have questioned and searched the nearby home of Hernandez. The most recent search took authorities to a pond near Hernandez's home.
