The mother of Odin Lloyd will announce a wrongful death lawsuit against former New England Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez on Wednesday, reported WBZ NewsRadio Tuesday afternoon. Ursula Ward will reportedly hold a press conference to announce the civil suit against Hernandez, who was convicted April 15 for the first-degree murder of her son.

During victim statement following the conviction last week, Ward said she forgave those that had a hand in her son’s killing.

“And I pray and hope that someday everyone out there will forgive them also,’’ she said.

After a 10-month long trial, a jury found Hernandez guilty for first-degree murder. Pending an automatic appeal, Hernandez will serve life in prison without parole.
