Former New England Patriots player stands accused of one homicide, and may be linked to two more murders. TMZ reports: Aaron Hernandez wrote a pen pal a letter from inside his jail cell, declaring his innocence, saying his murder charges are God’s plan, and vowing to return to the NFL

Among the highlights: — “The world just makes things out of false accusations … and it will all die down, especially when they say NOT GUILTY” — “All the people who turned on me will feel like crap.” — “God put me in this situation for a reason.” — “Can’t wait to sign [autographs] again when I’m playing again an [sic] prove all the haters WRONG.”

Hernandez wrote the letter to a “Karl.” A former inmate in the same jail one time NFL play is being held, Karl wrote to Hernandez first. Karl’s sincerity is in question since he took the letter to the media, though. source
