‘Killer Inside’ director Geno McDermott talks about how the Aaron Hernandez docuseries came together — and how hard it is to present different sides of a story, without the satisfaction of a conclusion

His death, however, didn’t stop the questions. Who was the real Aaron Hernandez — and why did he decide to take his own life, when he was still able to appeal his murder conviction? Soon, even more began to pile up — like rumors that he was secretly bisexual and that chronic traumatic encephalopathy might have been a factor in his deteriorating mental state.

It must have been difficult to try to add in a discussion of his sexuality, while being careful not to somehow blame his actions on repressed homosexuality. I think, again, it’s because we’re making a definitive docuseries here and not a salacious TV special where we’re pointing the finger at certain things. That’s why when we just present things as they factually are, and don’t preach some sort of agenda with it and point the blame somewhere. Because that’s really not what we wanted to do. We wanted to present everything, present all the facts, present as many perspectives as people would give us in interviews.

Yeah. That’s a really great question. Take Aaron’s prison phone calls, for example. When we first started making the film, those weren’t available to us. But as more time passes, things like that become available.Yeah. So, as soon as Aaron had taken his own life, we kind of thought, “Oh, we should start going after these.” We started putting in [FOIA] requests, even before the second trial, and we kept getting denied. Because at a certain point, you just give up.

Could you speak to what you saw as Aaron’s father’s role in his life, and do you think that’s a turning point for him?
