"Mrs. Hernandez and Mr. Hernandez, we are not happy to hear that your son passed," Jorge Gough said. "Despite all that we’ve been through we as parents, know how it feels.” Hernandez stabbed Jaime more than 40 times before hiding his knife in his backpack, and he then went to class. “I don't know if he regret before he died, I hope yes," Maria said. The Florida Department of Corrections is investigating Hernandez’s death. A cause of death has not been released. “I already forgave, many years ago, before the trial," Maria said. In 2016, Hernandez had a new sentencing hearing, but a Miami-Dade County judge agreed to send him back to prison for life.
