Last month, Kyle Kennedy was unmasked as Aaron Hernandez’s alleged gay prison lover.
Hernandez had supposedly written a note to Kennedy before he killed himself. While that document has yet to emerge, another set of letters is now tying Hernandez to Kennedy.
According to the Boston Globe, Hernandez wrote multiple letters to prison officials requesting that an unnamed inmate -- believed to be Kennedy -- be his cellmate.
“So, please make this happen and I even prefer to move in with (name redacted); me and him are very close and have been since the streets and that’s FACT, not bull (expletive). He’s my heart and like a real brother to me that’s why I want and am requesting to go upstairs and live with him," Hernandez wrote in one of the letters.Kennedy is serving time for robbing a gas station in January 2015.
The 22-year old's lawyer Larry Army Jr. has claimed that Kennedy and Hernandez had met before they were both incarcerated and that their time behind bars brought them closer. He has also said that the two requested to be matched as cellmates but the prison wouldn't allow it.
Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, Hernandez’s fiancé, has vehemently denied the former NFL star was gay or had a prison lover.
Kennedy is expected to be released next year, and Army has hinted that Kennedy will tell his story then.
