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...

Jerry Remy's Son Pleads Guilty To 1st Degree Murder
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
The son of Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy pleaded guilty to the first degree murder of his long-time girlfriend Jennifer Martel. Remy stabbed Martel in their apartment last year, and had pleaded not guilty in the past.
He was arrested for the first time back in August after allegedly pushing Martel into a mirror. He was released on his own recognizance and stabbed Martel to death the following day. First degree murder charges carry a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.
Remy had pleaded guilty to other charges surrounding Martel's death- including assault on a neighbor who tried to intervene, and violating a restraining order Martel had taken out against him.
Here's the plea
Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston
Two other charges- assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon- were dismissed after Remy’s attorney argued they were covered under the murder charge.
In a statement after his sentencing, Jared Remy said“blame me for this, not my family.”

Oscar Pistorius Trial Day 22: The Cross Ends
((HT: SABC Digital News))
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel rested his cross-examination of Oscar Pistorius after five days- maintaining that the sprinter lied, and is still lying, about his version of events from Valentine's Night, 2013. The prosecution is saying Pistorius lied about his shooting of Reeva Steenkamp was accidental- thinking she was a burglar holed up in the bathroom.
Pistorius shot through the door four times, hitting Steenkamp three and killing her. Nel delivered the prosecution's case and thinks his acts were intentional.
Here's Session One...
The defense called for redirect where lead attorney Barry Roux led Pistorius through his version of events. They then called a forensics expert who went through a noise analysis similar to that of the rounds Pistorius shot through the bathroom door.

Oscar Pistorius Trial Day 21: 6th Day Of Cross
((HT: SABC Digital News))
Oscar Pistorius endured his sixth day of cross examination by Gerrie Nel and the state Monday...
Nel accused Pistorius of tailoring his testimony to fit the evidence at the scene and went through all the alleged inconsistencies the sprinter detailed during his defense testimony.
Pistorius twice broke down under cross- once when he was asked to repeat the how he told the alleged intruder to leave the bathroom before he fired four times through the bathroom door. The other was when Nel declared that Pistorius knew he was firing at girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp Valentine's Day 2013.
Here's session one of testimony
Pistorius' crying caused another call of a break by judge Thokozile Masipa. Remember, that since there is no jury system in South African courts, the judge is the sole renderer of a verdict. Pistorius faces 25 years in prison on the premeditated murder (first-degree) charge.

DEVELOPING: Two Hernandez Associates Charged With Murder
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Two associates of Aaron Hernandez have been indicted in the Odin Lloyd murder from 2013 according to the Bristol County (MA) District Attorney's Office. A grand jury returned separate murder indictments on both Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace- who have been the focus of the prosecution's efforts in getting someone allegedly involved in the Lloyd murder/Hernandez case
Both men will be arraigned on the charges, but a date has not been set for them to appear in court.
Wallace has previously pleaded not guilty to "accessory to murder after the fact" and is being held on $500,000 cash bail.
Ortiz has also pleaded not guilty to "accessory after the fact" and is being held on the same amount.
Aaron Hernandez is being held without bail in connection with the murder of the 27-year-old semi-professional football player's death.
Ortiz had been previously regarded by the prosecution as "unreliable" as a witness for the prosecution back in February after the state thought that they could have him as their star witness...

Oscar Pistorius Trial: Day One
((HT: SABC Digital News))
Surprising no one, Oscar Pistorius pleaded "not guilty" in the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day 2013. Today was the first day of the trial where, if found guilty, Pistorius could face the rest of his life behind bars in prison.
He also pleaded not guilty to the three gun charges not associated with the crime.
Pistorius' lawyer, Kenny Oldwage, described Steenkamp's death as a "tragic accident." Oldwage admitted his client did kill Steenkamp, but only after mistaking her as an intruder.
Here's Part One of the proceedings
And Part Two
The first prosecution witness was a neighbor who claims to have heard four shots and Steenkamp's screaming inside the house. The neighbor's husband will testify later to hearing more than four shots...

Could Aaron Hernandez's Barber Be A Good Witness...???
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Ted Daniel's superior coverage of the Aaron Hernandez murder trial brings an interesting angle...
Daniel brings the supposition that, since Hernandez looked rather spiffy when he was escorted out of the house, his barber is worth a talking to about Hernandez's activities (and what Robby Olivares actually knew). Court documents actually lend credence to the notion that Olivares and Hernandez were social.
The night at the Rumors night club where Odin Lloyd may have spilled what he knew about Hernandez's activities may have had another witness- either direct or indirect- in Olivares...
Here's the Olivares angle from Daniel...

According to Daniel, the Instagram photos posted around Father's Day are near the Lloyd murder date and may yield an important time line... and another key angle for the prosecutors...

ICYMI: Aaron Hernandez Indicted on 1st Degree Murder Charges (UPDATED)
An Attelboro County, Massachusetts Grand Jury has made it official Wednesday afternoon. Now former New England Patriots Tight End Aaron Hernandez is now facing 1st Degree Murder charges for real and the case against him can proceed.
The former football star has been held in jail since his June 26th arrest in connection to the death of former associate/friend Odin Lloyd. Lloyd's body was found June 17th near an abandoned warehouse.
According to investigators, Lloyd had texted his sister after getting in a car with Hernandez and two associates. He asked her if she'd seen who he got in the car with and just responded by saying "NFL". The implication--it was Hernandez.
Police Investigators have not said yet if it actually was Hernandez himself that pulled the trigger, only that he was there and new full well what was going on. He's facing 6 charges, the murder charge and 5 other weapons charges.
He had pled "Not Guilty" to the charges back in June at his 1st appearance hearing and is still being held in the county jail in isolation.
If convicted, Hernandez could be facing life in prison.
Here's the early returns from Attleboro...
