He has been sentenced to life in prison for these murder charges, and Hernandez was visibly disappointed with the verdict as he was seen mouthing “you’re wrong” to the judge.
Hernandez is currently being held in a temporary facility so that he can be mentally evaluated before he is placed in a permanent prison with inmates.
The prison officials are placing the former Pro Bowl tight end on suicide watch for the time being after his verdict, according to TMZ Sports.
