Douglas Sheff — who represents Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward — addressed the media about “abatement” … the law in Massachusetts that essentially erases a conviction if the person dies before he’s exhausted all of his appeals.
Sheff says he’s spoken with experts who say if Hernandez’s murder conviction is erased, the Patriots may be forced to pay out part of his contract … which could total $6 million.
Sheff says the Lloyd family intends to fight like hell for that money.
