Aaron Hernandez Guilty of First-Degree Murder
Former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez has been convicted of first-degree
murder in the killing of Odin Lloyd in June 2013.
The verdict comes after jurors heard testimony from 135 total witnesses—132
called by the prosecution—in the 10-week long case.
Prosecutors alleged that Hernandez and co-defendants Carlos Ortiz and Ernest
Wallace drove Lloyd to a North Attleboro industrial park, where they shot
and killed him around 3:25 a.m.
Ortiz and Wallace have both pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately.
