‘U left me with one eye and a lot of head trauma,’ Bradley texted to Aaron Hernandez
“U left me with one eye and a lot of head trauma.”
So began a contentious text correspondence in March 2013 between Alexander Bradley and former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez.
One month earlier, Hernandez allegedly shot Bradley in the eye in Florida on Feb. 13, 2013. Bradley, the athlete’s friend and marijuana supplier, wanted compensation from the professional athlete who signed a multi-million dollar contract a year earlier.
And he began texting Hernandez, threatening to sue if he didn’t pay up.
The ensuing text thread between the men, spanning hundreds of messages over a three-month period, reads like a noir novel, complete with gun talk, taunts, and even professions of love.
