He had been acquitted in a double murder trial days before, but was still serving a life sentence in another murder case.
The show’s host, Dr. Phillip McGraw told NBC’s “Today” show on Friday that Jenkins-Hernandez does not believe the former New England Patriots player killed himself, despite the evidence.
McGraw also said Jenkins-Hernandez is not expecting any financial benefit from the death.
