Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been sued by the family of Odin Lloyd who he's accused of murdering. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the June 17 shooting of Lloyd. Hernandez is currently being held without bail.
The lawsuit from Lloyd's family states that Hernandez "maliciously, willfully, wantonly, recklessly or by gross negligence caused Odin Lloyd to suffer personal injuries that directly resulted in his death."
The court filing says unspecified damages probably exceed the value of Hernandez's $1.25 million home, and it seeks a real estate attachment up to $5 million. Lloyd's family is also looking towards a court order to keep the Patriots from paying Hernandez more than $3 million that they believe he is set to receive from his contract.
It was bad already, but it just keeps getting worse for Hernandez on the regular.
