Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is already serving a life sentence for a previous murder, but he did dodge a bullet on Friday.
Hernandez was found not guilty on two murder charges in Boston, but was convicted on a weapons charge.
It was a big relief for the former NFLer, who was seen crying after the jury made its decision. Here’s how he reacted.

There’s a lot of talk about how the prosecution approached the trial, but regardless, Hernandez seemed to be relieved after being found not guilty.
