"The fact that he was a profes- sional athlete meant noth- ing in the end." Lloyd was shot six times early on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough. The motive has never been ex- plained. Police almost immedi- ately zeroed in on the for- mer Pro Bowl athlete be- cause they found in Lloyd's pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented. Within hours of Hernan- dez's arrest, the Patriots cut him from the team. The team declined to comment on the verdict. Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez's mansion, witness testi- mony and cellphone re- cords that tracked Lloyd's movements. Hernandez's lawyer, James Sultan, acknowl- edged for the first time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed. But the attorney pinned the shooting on two of Her- nandez's friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Or- tiz, saying his client was a "23-year-old kid" who wit- nessed a shocking crime and did not know what to do. Wallace and Ortiz will stand trial later. Prosecutors have sug- gested Lloyd may have been killed because he knew too much about Hernandez's alleged in- volvement in a 2012 drive- by shooting in Boston that killed two. But they were not allowed to tell the jury that because the judge said it was speculation. As a result, they never offered jurors a motive be- yond saying Hernandez ap- peared angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights be- fore the killing. In the 2012 case, Her- nandez is accused of gun- ning down a pair of men over a spilled drink at a nightclub. All 12 jurors and three alternates spoke to report- ers Wednesday, saying they were shocked by the defense admission that Hernandez was at the scene of the kill- ing — an acknowledgement that they said helped con- firm that he was guilty. They also described how the judge talked to them privately after they reached their decision and told them about other al- legations and evidence not presented in the case, in- cluding the 2012 slayings and the last texts Lloyd sent minutes before he died saying that said he was with "NFL." The jurors said that in- formation reaffirmed their feeling that they had made the right decision. In the Lloyd killing, the defense argued that inves- tigators fixated on Hernan- dez because of his celebrity and conducted a shoddy in- vestigation in their zeal to confirm their suspicions. Prosecutors said Her- nandez organized the kill- ing, summoned his two friends to help carry it out and drove Lloyd and the others to the secluded spot in the industrial park. During closing arguments, prosecutors also accused Hernandez of pulling the trigger, though under the law it was not necessary to prove who fired the shots to convict him. Security video from in- side Hernandez's home showed him holding what appeared to be a gun less than 10 minutes after Lloyd was killed. The surveillance system also captured Her- nandez, Wallace and Ortiz relaxing at his home hours after Lloyd was shot, hang- ing out in the basement "man cave," lounging by the pool and cuddling Her- nandez's baby daughter. The conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole and automatically triggers an appeal to Massachusetts' highest court. Hernandez was initially taken to the state's Cedar Junction prison, a maxi- mum-security facility less than a 4-mile drive from Gillette Stadium, where he once caught touchdown passes from Tom Brady in front of tens of thousands of fans. He was to be processed there and eventually taken to Souza Baranowski prison in Shirley, another maximum-security insti- tution, according to Dar- ren Duarte, a spokesman for the Massachusetts De- partment of Corrections. Lloyd's sister, Olivia Thi- bou, said Wednesday that prosecutors in the trial were her "dream team." Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, told the judge she forgave Hernandez and everyone else "who had a hand in my son's murder, either before or after." Defense lawyers left the courthouse without com- menting. Hernandez, who grew up in Bristol, Connecticut, was an All-American from the University of Florida who was drafted by the Pa- triots in the fourth round in 2010. Murder FROM PAGE 1 You've got ownership in- volvement, you've got man- agerial decisions that have to be made. There's a lot that goes into it." General manager Doug Wilson said he will be re- viewed by owner Hasso Plattner and then he will evaluate McLellan and the coaching staff to figure out why the Sharks fell 22 points in the standings and finished 12th in the 14- team Western Conference. Wilson said he expected the team to take a step backward this season af- ter putting more focus on young players in response to blowing a 3-0 series lead to Los Angeles in the first round last year. But miss- ing the playoffs was not part of the plan. "I take full responsibil- ity for the commitment to the transition program we went through this year," Wilson said. "That was my plan, that was my decision. When you go through that type of transition plan there's often some pain and the pain is sitting here not going to playoffs." Whether McLellan re- mains part of that transi- tion remains an open ques- tion. McLellan is the win- ningest coach in franchise history and he led San Jose to back-to-back trips to the conference finals in 2010 and '11. But he has won just one playoff series the past four seasons. Despite the recent strug- gles, McLellan still has strong support among many of his players. But star center Joe Thorn- ton did not strongly back his coach when asked if a change was needed. "I have no idea," Thorn- ton said. "Todd has to talk to his family. Maybe he should talk to this family as well in here. We'll see what happens." Thornton was stripped of his captaincy last sum- mer in response to the play- off collapse against Los An- geles and had a public spat with Wilson in March after the GM said that Thornton has the tendency to lash out at people in stressful situations. Thornton responded by telling Wilson to "shut his mouth" and "stop lying." The two later said they re- solved their issues and said Wednesday there was no lingering effects. Thornton said the playoff loss and offseason talk had no impact on his play and said it shouldn't have played any role in the team's lack of success this season. "If it did we don't want them here," Thornton said. "We want tough individu- als that can handle adver- sity. If it did, we don't want you here." But the culture problems that Wilson publicized last offseason are still there with center Logan Couture saying Wednesday that the culture is "not great." Whatever happens with McLellan, there will be changes in San Jose. Goalie Antti Niemi, de- fensemen Matt Irwin and Scott Hannan, and forward John Scott all can be unre- stricted free agents. San Jose also has plenty of salary cap room to ac- quire an established player, as well as a top 10 draft pick. "It will be another inter- esting summer, I'm sure," Couture said. "We wanted to change after last year, and come back and have a good year and we didn't do that." Sharks FROM PAGE 1 ble to right in the third and Jose Altuve followed a Jack Marisnick fifth-inning tri- ple with a single through a drawn-in Oakland infield to push the Houston lead to 4-1. McHugh is one of the reasons those in the know believe Houston is on its way back to competitive balance in the American League West. He's won nine consecutive decisions dating back to last year, when he finished fourth in the Rookie of the Year bal- loting with 11 wins and a Major League rookie best 2.73 ERA. He kept A's lefties off balance with his changeup early in the count and Oak- land batters from both sides of the plate had trou- ble tracking down his curve. Pomeranz, meanwhile, had trouble keeping his pitches down in the strike zone. As a result, when he missed with a pitch, Hous- ton hitters were able to put it in the air. Four of the six hits the lefty allowed went for extra bases. Reliever Evan Scribner pitched two innings and R.J. Alvarez one. Both al- lowed solo homers, Scrib- ner to Luis Valbuena and Alvarez to Evan Gattis. A's relievers have allowed 11 runs this year, all on hom- ers, five solo shots and two three-run blasts. Former A's reliever Luke Gregerson, now the Astros closer, pitched the ninth in- ning with a five-run lead. • Butler's single to open the second extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He's the first player in Oak- land history with hits in each of his first 10 games for the club. He'd been tied with Alfredo Griffin (1985), who held the Oakland re- cord at nine games before this season. • The A's registered their first caught stealing of the year when catcher Stephen Vogt picked Jed Lowrie off first base in the sixth. Pomeranz picked Jose Al- tuve off first base in the fifth, but no caught steal- ing was charged.
