NEW YORK (AP/WHDH) — A book written about the late Aaron Hernandez by his defense attorney is set to hit the shelves Tuesday.
Jose Baez’s “Unnecessary Roughness: The Life and Death of Aaron Hernandez” was written with the cooperation of Hernandez’s fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, and will include a foreword by her.
According to Hachette, “Unnecessary Roughness” will be the “definitive, insider” story on Hernandez.
Hernandez, a former standout tight end for the New England Patriots, was found hanging in his cell last April 19, hours before his ex-teammates were due to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. The 27-year-old athlete had been serving life without parole for a 2013 murder.
