Unnecessary Roughness: Inside the Trial and Final Days of Aaron Hernandez [Audiobook]

When renowned defense attorney Jose Baez received a request for representation from Aaron Hernandez, the disgraced Patriots tight-end was already serving a life sentence for murder. Defending him in a second, double-murder trial seemed like a lost cause-but Baez accepted the challenge, and their partnership culminated in a dramatic courtroom victory, a race to contest his first conviction, and ultimately a tragedy, when Aaron took his own life days after his acquittal.

This riveting, closely-observed account of Aaron's life and final year is the only book based on countless intimate conversations with Aaron, and told from the perspective of a true insider. With revelations about Aaron's personal life that weren't shared at trial, and written with the support of Aaron's fiancee, Unnecessary Roughness is a startling courtroom drama and an unexpected portrait of a fallen father, fiance, and teammate.
