Aaron Hernandez's fiancee: 'I don't think this was a suicide'

"I wanted him home more than anyone. I would've stopped it. I would've told someone," she said.

The fiancee of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez doesn't believe her high school sweetheart committed murder or suicide, she said in a prerecorded television interview that aired Monday.


Still wearing her engagement ring, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez told Phil McGraw of the talk show "Dr. Phil" that the guilty verdict in Odin Lloyd's murder, for which Hernandez was serving a life sentence, was "a shock to all of us. We were definitely leaning more toward an innocent verdict."

The interview will be aired over two days. On Monday, Jenkins-Hernandez didn't talk about rumors Hernandez was gay and whether he killed himself so she could collect millions in insurance, though she did say the phrase "You're rich" in a note found by the body referenced their love.
The end-of-show teaser indicated those subjects would be discussed on Tuesday.

When asked if she believed her fiancee was guilty of Lloyd's murder, Jenkins-Hernandez said, "I truly don't. I've said it over and over. He may have been at the wrong place, wrong time, but I don't think what is said to be out there is actually accurate."
