Ursula Ward’s lawyer, Doug Sheff, said at a press conference Friday that Hernandez was ruled legally responsible for Lloyd’s death in a wrongful death suit brought on by the family. Sheff said he has issued “a friendly challenge” to the Patriots and the NFL Players Association to voluntarily give Ward whatever money Hernandez might still be owed.

Sheff said he thinks the team might have owed Hernandez up to $6 million. The suit seeks to recover that plus proceeds from the eventual sale of Hernandez’s $1.3 million home, a Hummer and any other assets.
