One would assume if someone is beating you up and shoots you in the leg you have the right to defend yourself, but in Alexander Bradley case he was the one arrested after an incident outside of a Hartford club.
Bradley’s attorney describes what happened.
His attorney, Robert Pickering, told reporters that Bradley was attacked by a stranger without provocation and should be considered the victim in the case.
“He got punched in the face and shot in the leg three times,” Pickering said. He said that Bradley has attracted unwanted attention in public because of his connection to Hernandez.
Bradley, 31, was part of a disturbance involving money Sunday that spilled outside of the Vevo Lounge Bar & Grill in Hartford’s South Meadows neighborhood, police said. After he was shot multiple times in the right thigh, he retrieved a gun from his car and tried to enter the nightclub, police said, before he opened fire.
Bradley is suing Aaron Hernandez for allegedly shooting him in the face during an argument in a car. Bradley lost his right eye in the incident.
The police are still looking for the person who shot Bradley, but he is currently being held on $1 million bond on charges of criminal possession of a firearm and criminal use of a firearm.
