Hernandez has been a focal point of an investigation into the shooting death of 27-year old semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, whose body was found a week ago about a quarter-mile from Hernandez's home. Lloyd's family said he was a friend of Hernandez.
Multiple reports Friday claimed an arrest warrant for obstruction of justice would be executed, but the weekend past with no such developments.
This followed the first public remarks by Michael K. Fee of Ropes and Gray LLP, the attorneys for Hernandez, and a polite response by District Attorney Sam Sutter.
In his statement, Fee said:
"Over the past week, our client, Aaron Hernandez, has been the subject of a relentless flood of rumors, misinformation, and false reports in the media. These include the repeated publication of a supposedly confirmed report that an arrest warrant had been issued for Aaron, a report that was exposed as untrue. None of these false reports come from official sources and we appreciate the professionalism and restraint shown by the Bristol County District Attorney's Office to date with regard to its public statements while its investigation is underway. Out of respect for that ongoing investigation, we will continue to refrain from commenting on its substance."
