Lawyers Want Murder Conviction of ex-Patriot Aaron Hernandez Dismissed

…Doug Sheff, an attorney who represents Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, in a wrongful-death lawsuit against Hernandez, said he doesn’t believe the civil case will be undermined if the conviction is vacated.

“We believe that a well-reasoned court will protect the rights of innocent, grieving family members like Ursula Ward and allow us to proceed with our wrongful-death case directly,” Sheff said.
