Hernandez's life of crime may have not totally been his fault. There were certain factors in his childhood that lead him to the wrong path. His Father Died when he was 49. The fact that Hernandez had to grow up without a father may have affected his choices in the future. His Mother also married a violent coke dealer, which was not a good influence on Hernandez or his siblings. The loss of his father, and then the addition of a new violent drug dealer as a father were not helping Hernandez onto the right path.
