Haggan: the Commonwealth rests. #AaronHernandez

Locke: burden of proof lies w/state #AaronHernandez

Locke: defendant "has no burden whatsoever " to present evidence #AaronHernandez

Sullivan: "we do have evidence yr honor ... we do have motions" #AaronHernandez

5 min recess so defense can set up. #AaronHernandez

The jury won't be putting him in prison because he's already in prison for the rest of his life.

correct me if wrong but are they not supposed to go into that jury room and evaluate this case solely on the merits of this case? And they are not supposed to consider the punishment. I realize that is the legal charge and in practicality (esp in this case) may be difficult.

Salvador: defense team contacted him first #AaronHernandez

Salvador: BPD contacted him 2 weeks ago #AaronHernandez

Salvador: posted #AaronHernandez pic on social media

Lee on cross #AaronHernandez

that should have read "improvished explosive device"

Putin was in St. Petersburg that morning; another device was found at another metro station, but disabled.

It must be his brother. He looks just like AH.

That last witness was another victim of memory loss. Couldn't recall if he had 1 drink or 5 drinks. Doesn't know if it was 15 ft or 100 ft from the bar to the back room where he took the pic with AH because he's not good at math (according to him) and doesn't recall what he told the BPD.

Meanwhile, Baez is just sitting there while Sullivan handles everything. I didn't watch the Casey Anthony trial, but shouldn't this be Baez's moment to "shine?" The body language between he and AH has not seemed as "friendly" the last couple of days...

But to be fair - I couldn't tell you whether it was 15 or 20ft - but between 15th to 100ft, yea I could....

 

[Rocco]

But to be far - I couldn't tell you whether it was 15 or 20ft - but between 15th to 100ft, ya I could....

I think the points scored for the defense with this witness------> 0.

Loved his comment though about how he wanted his picture taken with AH because he was a big BASKETBALL fan.

Oh, he'll get up there! I think he depends on Sullivan to argue the law.

I too have noticed that AH looks a little gray around the gills lately.
