I think you're way off. They have tons. The timeline is devastating along with the surveillance cameras piecing everything together. This is a simple conviction. Hernandez will never spend another day as a free man. As in sports, people tend to overreact to the most recent example. Just because Zimmerman got off in a high profile case you can't apply any of it to Hernandez. Years ago I actually had someone bet me that Scott Peterson would get off, solely because the big televised cases prior to that in California had ended in acquittal.
The authorities are not taking anything for granted and are covering every angle. The Boston media has been doing a great job of covering it. That's why I'm shocked the Dolphins and Pouncey weren't aware of the possibility that he might be subpoenaed. Frankly, I hope Pouncey is questioned in regard to the 2007 incident in Gainesville, when Hernandez was a freshman.
As Hayden indicated in a previous post, the focus is on Hernandez. I doubt the authorities, even if it's federal, with push against Pouncey. I wouldn't be surprised if it's gun related. Too many young men and particularly young athletes are gun obsessed and don't understand the significance or the liability. If they have a permit or some type of legal authority they mistakenly think it applies everywhere, and not merely to that weapon in that state. Pouncey easily could have agreed to a gun-related payment or payments, believing it was innocent and not blatantly illegal. If he was dealing guns, even in relatively small scale, that's another matter. The feds will push against him and rightfully so.
