Josh Andrés Rivera as Aaron Hernandez in American Sports Story
American Sports Story producers detail why the series depicts the acquitted murders of Aaron Hernandez. The show explores the life of Hernandez, the NFL star-turned-convicted murderer, diving into the controversial 2012 double homicides of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Hernandez was already in jail serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole after he was convicted of first-degree murder in 2015 for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
But it seemed pretty clear to us and the reporters at the Boston Globe, that Aaron was, if not guilty by the court of those murders, he did them. We took a hard line, like he is a killer. He did kill people and ended people’s lives. We, as a show, don’t want to forgive him for that. At the same time, he wasn’t born a murderer. And what’s interesting to me about the story is all the institutions and people that, you could say, failed him or could have made a difference along the way… that maybe he doesn’t end up becoming a murderer.
