Robert Kraft says he, Patriots were ‘duped’ by Aaron Hernandez
Kraft (finally) breaks his silence.
Two days after returning from a vacation in Europe and Israel, Patriots owner Robert Kraft finally broke his silence on Monday about Aaron Hernandez’s arrest on a murder charge and subsequent release from the team.
“No one in our organization was aware of any of these kind of connections. If it’s true, I’m just shocked,” Kraft said in his office at Gillette Stadium. “Our whole organization has been duped.”
Kraft, who has owned the Patriots since 1994, said he was “limited” in what he could discuss Monday because of “an ongoing criminal investigation, as well as other potential civil proceedings.” It is unclear if the family of Odin Lloyd, the victim in Hernandez’s murder case, will attempt to sue the Patriots.
But Kraft said it “is important that our fan base hear directly from our organization.” Kraft said the team knew Hernandez was “immature,” but didn’t think his off-field activities would ever lead to a murder charge.

He told them what they really, really wanted to hear.

He was certainly a better signing than Jamarcus Russell, for example. There is nobody that expected it to end in the worst possible way as it has.
