I hear ya and have some of the same fears. But I still have faith that the jury has ben given some pretty damning info:
Less than two hours later, at 2:08 a.m., Hernandez and Ortiz were captured on video at a gas station south of Boston.
Hernandez is seen putting gas in a Nissan Altima that he had rented the previous week, and Ortiz wore the white towel around his neck. Hernandez, who occasionally stumbles and looks unsteady on his feet, dances with his hands over his head, then goes into the gas station.
There, he buys gum and cigars with Ortiz. They get back in the car with Hernandez in the driver's seat and Ortiz in the back.
They leave at 2:12 a.m. Lloyd was dead by 3:30 a.m.
Prosecutors have said Hernandez left the gas station and drove to Lloyd's home in the Dorchester section of Boston. A different surveillance video already
seen by the jury shows Lloyd getting into the rear passenger side of a car at 2:32 a.m. outside his home.

Even without the gun and the shoes, plenty of evidence puts Hernandez in the same car that picked up LLoyd, right before he is shot to death. And there are tire marks putting the same type of car at the death scene, and the video of AH returning w/gun in hand. And the bullet casing w/matches found at the car rental place. With the blue bubble gum evidence in the returned car.
The jury will KNOW that AH was in the same car as Lloyd was when he met his death. JMO
