GUILTY MA - Aaron Hernandez, New England Patriots player, charged with homicides #2

[Chelly]

Shayanna Jenkins
Defendant’s Fiancee | Potential Witness

Shayanna Jenkins, Hernandez’s fiancee, is charged with perjury and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors have said she lied dozens of times to a grand jury investigating Lloyd’s killing. Jenkins is listed on the prosecution’s list of potential witnesses, and prosecutors petitioned the court to grant her immunity for the murder trial. The matter was sealed, and the outcome of the request was not clear. Jenkins and Hernandez have a 2-year-old daughter together.

Jury will be sworn in before opening statements begin-- we cannot watch that process from the overflow room #aaronhernandez @abc6

Yes. I'm a huge football fan. College and NFL. Love my NFL Sunday Ticket. Hernandez has always been a punk. Hard to imagine signing a $40 million dollar contract, buying a mansion to house your pretty girlfriend and brand new baby....then taking your gun to the club and hanging out with thugs

The Bristol County murder trial of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez is slated to begin Thursday, and it appears his lawyers are poised to blame the fatal shooting of Odin L. Lloyd on a drug-impaired friend, while prosecutors are not expected to identify a triggerman when they make opening statements Thursday, legal specialists said.

from WAT:

The delay in the #AaronHernandez trial is due to 1 juror that has not arrived yet. Perhaps it's @lollekate or should I say lollelate?

Judge in #AaronHernandez trial is not tolerating any electronics in courtroom. If one is turned on she will cut the rest of the broadcast

13 women and 5 men have been seated in the #AaronHernandez trial. They should be sworn in soon. Grab a tea/coffee while we wait.

I rearranged my living-room furniture :lol:

#AaronHernandez confirmed that a replacement juror is needed. No reason given so far.

While we wait: Do you think AH has been overcharged?

In one of the excellent articles the most excellent TexMex posted, the DA has been criticized for overcharging AH with only Murder 1.

Maybe Aaron's homeys are picking them off onebyone

It seems as if he became involved with gangs after his fathers death...

Juror that hasn't shown up is still missing. They are going through other candidates now. Stick with WAT for all the latest #AaronHernandez

 

[Chelly]

I am confused about the court "going through other candidates" for the jury. So, don't they have 17 out of the original 18? Where are they digging up the "other candidates"?

That's really bad. And it made me laugh really hard!

Good Morning!

10 #AaronHernandez jurors have been excused, but it's not clear why because conversations are taking place out of earshot.

10 excused?!? I hope he's talking about the on-going voir dire and not already chosen jurors.

EXCUSED! Surely not the entire lot?
