I would think he cleaned up the bulk of whatever that needed to be cleaned and hire the cleaning crew just to make sure he didn't miss anything.

We can honestly do a lot of speculation at this point, but in all honesty that cleaning crew is pretty much key to figuring out the condition of the house after the murder. Was there spot cleaning, was there blood, did they find garbage bags full of towels and such. Was there bloody clothes in the laundry. Just way to many questions here lol.

what i'm wondering if if the cleaning company has some rule that they have to follow about not disclosing info about a client. would something like that be over ridden by a murder investigation??

do cleaning companies keep records of what was all done and cleaned up?? and if they do.....do the employees talk about the clients after they get back to the office and compare notes on who had to clean the dirtiest house??

Updated info from MSP - Interesting to see they are NOT releasing charges against him until they are read in open court.

Aaron Hernandez was taken from his North Attleboro, Mass., home in handcuffs Wednesday morning after being arrested by the Massachusetts State Police and North Attleboro Police.

The increasing attention and speculation surrounding the New England Patriots tight end took a decisive turn as a throng of policemen arrived at Hernandez's residence at 8:47 a.m ET.

The Massachusetts State Police announced that Hernandez was arrested shortly after they obtained a warrant for his arrest. The MSP tweeted that Hernandez is currently being booked at the North Attleboro Police Station and will be brought on Wednesday to Attleboro District Court for arraignment. The charge against Hernandez will not be released until it is presented to the court, the MSP announced.

NFL Network's Rich Hollenberg told NFL Network's "NFL AM" that three police cars, two of them unmarked, arrived at Hernandez's residence early Wednesday. As many as nine plainclothes police officers and two uniformed North Attleboro officers entered Hernandez's home, bringing Hernandez out about five minutes later. The tight end answered the door shirtless, but was taken away with a white T-shirt draped over his upper body, with his hands cuffed behind his back.

The NFL will not comment at least until charges are known, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday.

Authorities have been conducting a homicide investigation involving the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, whose body was found at about 5:30 p.m. on June 17.

Lloyd's family told The Associated Press that Lloyd, a semi-pro football player in the Boston area, had connections to Hernandez. The family would not elaborate.

State police have searched in and around Hernandez's home multiple times in the last week.

I'm a little surprised because by releasing him before he's formally indicted I don't think they can go after any of his signing bonus money. They also might be on the hook for the remainder of the guaranteed money on his contract (roughly $2.5 million).

I'd like to hear the official word what the Pats organization has to say about Hernandez.

The Patriots released a pretty boring statement:

“A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss. Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation. We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do.”

can't blame them here....it would be nothing but a distraction all season.

I think the last part of that statment is a little bitter.

I could understand waiting but there's just so much wrong with his entire situation that it makes perfect sense.

[Brady_2_Moss]

part of me wished they waited for the charges..but his is in deep trouble no doubt about it

[MD-Blu]

What are you all think he'll get charged with and do you all think he's guilty?
