Douglas Sheff, the Boston lawyer representing Lloyd’s mother Ursula Ward in a civil suit against Hernandez, said the reversal of the murder conviction “should not affect our case.”

Sheff said they have already won a summary judgement in the case and were awarded the proceeds of Hernandez’s Hummer and Westwood Estates home. When asked about a possible motion to reconsider the award in light of the conviction being voided, Sheff said he did not fear one.
