Aaron Hernandez Trial Continues As Evidence Gets Tossed

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

A trial is in its third day in Massachusetts where attorneys for former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez are looking to throw out as much evidence as they can get judge Susan Garsh to dispose of before any kind of a trial can commence in earnest.

Judge Garsh did throw out evidence found at a so-called "flophouse" that Hernandez rented. That evidence included ammunition that the prosecution feels may have been related to the murder of Hernandez acquaintance Odin Lloyd. A cell phone and a home survelliance system that were also gathered by Massachusetts police are still in evidence and were not disqualified.

Kraft And Belichick Interviewed In Lloyd Probe, Singleton Pleads Guilty

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

Aaron Hernandez's legal team made a motion to suppress evidence that they say was seized without a valid search warrant, but the judge in the case denied the motion earlier this week.

Photos and surveillance video from inside Hernandez’s home were part of the evidence list released by the prosecution and the material, apparently, shows him with a gun just hours after Odin Lloyd’s murder in 2013.

Text messages between Hernandez and Patriots coach Bill Belichick were also part of the evidence.
Belichick gave investigators a written statement after Hernandez’s arrest as did Pats owner Robert Kraft.

In another development, Hernandez's cousin Tanya Singleton pleaded guilty to a criminal contempt charge. Prosecutors had apparently granted her immunity and Singleton refused to testify before the Hernandez grand jury.

Surprising no one, really...

Lawyers for Aaron Hernandez are asking a Massachusetts judge to throw out some evidence in the murder of Odin Lloyd.

They asked a Fall River (MA) judge to exclude surveillance video from Hernandez's home and they want evidence seized from cellphones and other electronic devices kept out of the case.

In addition, later today he is set to be arraigned on the alleged assault of a fellow inmate who was heckling him as well as allegedly threatening to kill a guard and his family when he was in a county jail.

Here's the defense pleading their early case...

That's the contention of the defense if you look at the photos of the crime scene...

Oscar Pistorius' lead attorney, Barry Roux, has been trying to deconstruct testimony line-by-line with every prosecution witness that comes up onto the witness stand. Roux tried grilling the police photographer today...

The police ballistics expert was also on the stand trying to explain point-by-point how he reconstructed the scene of the gunshots and positions he thought successfully demonstrated the death of Reeva Steenkamp.
