Aaron Hernandez's defense attorney is speaking out against the newly released docuseries, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez.

The three-part Netflix series explores the tumultuous life of the NFL star-turned-convicted killer, detailing the events that lead up to his 2017 suicide behind bars. Baez, who represented Hernandez in a number of criminal cases, was among the figures who was featured in the series; however, the attorney claims that the final product did not reflect the truth.

"I don’t give a damn about what some lame ass documentary has to say about Aaron," he wrote on Instagram, shortly after the series premiered. "I knew him, they did not and while he was far from perfect, they are not even close to the truth. People have no idea how documentaries are made, the truth is usually found on the cutting room floor. These producers lied directly to my face, so I don’t expect their money making scheme to be much better."

Hernandez’s fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, also responded to the doc. Jenkins-Hernandez announced she was taking a break from social media following the series' release.

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez is available on Netflix now. You can watch the trailer below.
