So here's the thing: Aaron Hernandez is innocent. No, really. By law, if a defendant dies before his appeal process is exhausted, he is thereby deemed to be innocent of the charge. Yet, it is a mere technicality, but it may make a HUGE difference in the damage suits filed against his estate.

Worked for Ken Lay, CEO of Enron. A little different because this was just before his sentencing, but he still technically died a free man, and his family benefited from that
