Aaron Hernandez Double Murder Case Has Trial Date

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

A judge has tentatively scheduled the Aaron Hernandez double murder trial to begin in May of 2015. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the drive-by killing of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado after they met at a suburban Boston nightclub.

The thoughts are that Odin Lloyd may have said "too much" about the dealings of Hernandez to Abreu and Furtado and that the duo rubbed Hernandez the wrong way outside of any conversation Lloyd may have had in the club with them.

Hernandez waited until the two left the nightclub and is to alleged to have shot and killed them the same evening.

Hernandez's lawyers also asked Judge Jeffrey Locke to issue a gag order in the case- feeling that Hernandez won't get a fair trial because of the amount of media coverage he has already received in the Lloyd murder case.

Naturally, prosecutors objected and Judge Locke hasn't given a ruling as of yet.

Civil Suit Filed Against Aaron Hernandez- Kraft Family And Patriots Named As Well...

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

And all of this has to do with the 2012 double murder Hernandez is accused in recently...

A civil wrongful death lawsuit against Hernandez was filed on behalf of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Lawyers for the two families are looking to stop the New England Patriots from handing over the signing bonus that the NFLPA is looking to get for him as part of his last contract that he signed. The lawyers are also looking to freeze any assets left from the sale of Hernandez's $5 million suburban Boston home.

The lawyers for Abreu and Furtado want that money for their clients.

In another move, Hernandez's lawyers are looking to have their client moved to a jail closer to the city of Boston- since they have offices there and Hernandez also feel that their client's life is in danger.

From the motion:

"Surely there is now a reason to be seriously concerned about Hernandez's personal safety while housed at the Bristol County HOC and to question the ability of that facility's staff to treat Hernandez fairly and professionally while he is subject to their total control."

Hernandez Pleads Not Guilty In 2012 Drive-By Murders

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

In a session that lasted 20 minutes, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to all charges in front of a crowded court room that included family members of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

Prosecutors allege that Aaron Hernandez killed the two in a drive-by shooting in 2012. The Suffolk County District Attorney alleges that Hernandez was getting more and more sensitive to people "testing or disrespecting him."

He rolled down the window of his SUV and allegedly told a friend in his SUV:
"I think I got one in the head and one in the chest."

Prosecutors then allege that Hernandez drove the SUV to his cousin's house in Connecticut and left it there. Hernandez attorney Charles Rankin claimed in open court that the state was poisoning the possible jury pool with the proceedings and a "one-sided grand jury proceeding."

Hernandez is still held without bail and will have his next appearance on June 24th.

Warrant: Hernandez "May Have" Been Shooter In Double Murder

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

We have detailed the incidents in and around the double murder-drive by killing of Safiro Hurtado and Daniel Abreu in July 2012 as they left a Boston nightclub.

Recent video has surfaced from a nearby nightclub from the one that the two were seen in before they left a year-and-a-half ago and an SUV that resembles one Aaron Hernandez possessed was circling the block waiting for the Furtado-Abreu vehicle before the murder.

Now, the new warrant that has been made public believes that gunshot residue "may still exist" inside the vehicle. Prosecutors are still weighing the idea of adding murder charges in that case as well to the Odin Lloyd case that is the center of the Hernandez investigation at present...

Search Warrant Tells Hernandez Involvement In 2012 Double Murder

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

According to a recently released search warrant, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez became a suspect in a June 2012 double murder in Boston just after the Odin Lloyd murder.

North Attleboro (MA) police received a tip from an employee at the Rumor Night Club in Boston.

Rumor is where investigators say Hernandez and Lloyd argued before Lloyd was eventually murdered a few days later. The employee told detectives that a patron "accidentally spilled the beans" in front of him about something Hernandez did.

Then, a Boston Police detective remembered seeing Hernandez on surveillance footage taken at the Cure Lounge on the same night of the double murder of Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu. Apparently, there is now video of a Toyota SUV circling the lounge waiting for a car that contained the two just before they were the victim of a drive-by down the block.

Alexander Bradley was supposedly with Hernandez that night as well. Bradley would be later shot in the eye and blames Hernandez for it. Hernandez was allegedly driving a car and shot Bradley while he was sitting in the passenger's seat. Bradley couldn't initially tell why Hernandez was waving a gun around in a car talking to Bradley, but it ended up in gunfire...

"Chicago" Says He And Hernandez Are "Clean..."

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

John Alcorn is known as "Chicago" in Bristol, Connecticut circles...

He is also known for being in Aaron Hernandez's circle and has been linked to activities in and around the murder of Odin Lloyd and the late night drive-by shooting in June of 2012 that killed two others...

He was called in front of the grand jury trying to determine his possible ties to a .38 caliber handgun found in the back of a car that belonged to Jailene Diaz-Ramos. Diaz-Ramos was involved in a traffic accident and police found a gun and three loose rounds. A .38 has been tied to the double murder and Diaz-Ramos tied the gun to "Chicago."

After ballistics tests, the .38 was tied to the murders of Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu...
Here's the interview and what Alcorn was allowed to say...

"Chicago" Appears At Aaron Hernandez Grand Jury

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

Not the whole town... just the guy...

The associate of Aaron Hernandez identified as "Chicago," John Alcorn, appeared in front of a Boston grand jury that was discussing the double murder that Hernandez is linked to from 2012. But there is no proof on whether or not Alcorn actually testified.

Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu were killed in a drive-by shooting that has been linked to Hernandez, and Alcorn had been previously identified by Hernandez's cousin during questioning as having been driven by her on several occasions. Alcorn left his firearm in the car and told Hernandez's cousin that she was to keep it there for safe keeping so he didn't have to take it to work.

Alcorn's attorney, Matthew Dyer, told MyFoxBoston that his client was linked to a gun from the Furtado-Abreu shooting.

Here's the look from the grand jury...

Hartford Courant: Hernandez On Video With 2012 Victims

((HT: Hartford Courant/Wilson))

Just when you thought you hadn't heard enough of the Aaron Hernandez case...

We now have this...

According to the Courant's Jenny Wilson, Hernandez was in the same place as two victims the night they were shot back in July of 2012. Sources tell Wilson that authorities have surveillance video showing Hernandez in the same nightclub as Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado before they were killed on Boston streets in an early morning drive-by.

Police had been looking for an SUV with Rhode Island license plates connected with the shooting.

Eventually, police found an SUV with Rhode Island plates at Aaron Hernandez's uncle's house in Bristol, Connecticut as part of the Odin Lloyd murder investigation. The car had been parked in a garage for about a year.

Hernandez has not been charged in connection with the Abreu/Furtado murders, but he will be back in court Friday in relation to the Lloyd case.

Here was the development at the time of the tow...
