Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found not guilty of two murders from a 2012 incident.
Prosecutors said Hernandez killed two men at a stoplight after one of them spilled a drink on him at a club. Defense attorneys said the case was made up of "smoke and mirrors" and attacked the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses.
Hernandez was also acquitted on witness intimidation charges, though he was convicted of unlawful possession of a gun and faces a four- to five-year sentence.
