The prosecution in the Aaron Hernandez case feel they can prove that Hernandez's current fiancee/girlfriend has lied to investigators close to a dozen times to the grand jury in charge of the case.
Shayanna Jenkins could face up to 20 years in prison if found to have lied.
The defense team also said publicly that they would not object to pushing back the trial...
Here's the latest from the case

Prosecutors Can't Access Hernandez's Phone Calls...
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
This was something the prosecutors in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial were counting on...
They thought that the former NFL tight end was discussing the murder of Odin Lloyd in code with his girlfriend/fiancee Shayanna Jenkins and cousin Tanya Singleton. Judge Susan Garsh said prosecutors did not make a sufficient case, but she will let them submit again.
Defense attorney James Sultan called the state's request "grossly overboard" and said prosecutors are on a "fishing expedition."
But the other point that, probably, annoyed Judge Garsh was the disclosure that the prosecution already had been given some of the recordings. They have to provide copies to the defense by Monday.
Here's the story from the courtroom...

Hernandez Girlfriend/Fiancee Arraigned On Perjury Charge
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Depending on which side of the judicial world you ask, Shayanna Jenkins is either Aaron Hernandez's girlfriend or fiancee...
And the girlfriend/fiancee was in court today to answer to her perjury charge...
She was released on a personal recognizance after her arraignment in Fall River (MA) Superior Court. Prosecutors had sought $5,000 cash bail. And this is the prosecution's attempt to put pressure on her in order for her to flip and be a witness against her boyfriend/fiancee...
Remember, if she's regarded as a fiancee, she can't testify against Hernandez- which would be HUGE!!!
The prosecution, back in August, maintains that Jenkins lied to the grand jury- including information (or a lack of information) about where she allegedly threw out a box Hernandez asked her to “get rid of” after the Odin Lloyd murder.
Here's the hearing in full...

The perjury charge carries a max of 20 years...
Defense attorney Janice Bassil said in open court that Jenkins answered every question in front of the grand jury and there's no evidence of perjury. Jenkins was also granted immunity for her testimony.

Hernandez Fiancee, Family, And Associate Indicted
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Remember our old friend "reasonable doubt...?"
Well, he was reintroduced when Ernest Wallace decided during his bail hearing yesterday that it was only Aaron Hernandez that exited the car when Odin Lloyd was allegedly murdered in June. Wallace originally said it was Hernandez and Carlos Ortiz that exited the car when Lloyd was shot and killed.
So, today Fall River (MA) authorities brought charges on Hernandez's girlfriend/fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, was indicted on a single charge of perjury in connection to the murder investigation.
From My Fox Boston:
In August, the Hartford Courant reported investigators searched a storage unit in Connecticut rented to Jenkins because they believed she made "overt attempts to hide evidence" as well as to "hinder and mislead" the murder investigation. The newspaper reports surveillance video, text messages between Jenkins and her sister, as well as an interview with her sister, are all referenced in the documents as officials suggest Jenkins may have information regarding what happened to the handgun used in the shooting.
According to court documents, Jenkins was reportedly seen on surveillance video carrying a plastic bag believed to contain a "rigid object" from Hernandez's home and placing it into a car one day after Odin Lloyd was found dead. She returned to the home nearly a half hour later without the trash bag.
One of Jenkins' uncles told investigators Jenkins handed him and another uncle a cell phone and Hernandez asked for all of the weapons to be removed from the couple's North Attleborough home. The uncle claims the weapons were discarded "into the woods."
Jenkins was indicted at the same time the grand jury voted to indict Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, on a charge of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact. Investigators say Ernest Wallace, who is charged with accessory to murder after the fact, told Singleton about the fatal shooting. She was held after refusing to testify before the Hernandez grand jury.
Carlos Ortiz had also previously pleaded not guilty to a gun charge in connection to the case after cooperating with investigators. A plea deal fell apart and Ortiz was indicted on a charge of accessory to murder after the fact as well today...
Here's the story...
Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston
All this movement by the Massachusetts grand jury and authorities means that the Wallace testimony doesn't look to be any more credible and the prosecution is looking for some back up in order to convict...

Hernandez Investigation Turns To Fiancee
((HT: WHDH-TV))
The Hartford Courant is coming out with a story that now has another layer to the Aaron Hernandez murder investigation...
The investigation is now shifting to Hernandez's girlfriend-fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins...
Police have searched a storage locker in Connecticut leased in her name and paid for with Aaron Hernandez’s credit card. Nothing was taken from the locker, but police will probably return at some point in their investigation...
Investigators refer to surveillance video form inside Hernandez's home, text messages, and an interview with Shayanna's sister, Shaneah, that give them the feel that Jenkins may have had knowledge of what happened to the gun used in the murder of Odin Lloyd.
From Jenny Wilson's article:
According to the records, June 18 footage from the home shows Shayanna Jenkins leaving the basement of the house around 1:15 p.m., carrying a trash bag, which authorities say contains a heavy "rigid object," resembling a lock box or safe. She placed the trash bag in the trunk of a red Nissan Sentra. Surveillance footage showed her returning 35 minutes later and opening the trunk of the car, which no longer held the trash bag and "rigid object," the records show.
The day after Odin Lloyd’s body was found, surveillance video reportedly captured Jenkins leaving the home she shares with Hernandez and their child carrying a trash bag. Authorities said it looked like it contained hard container like a lock box or safe.
Police found a .22 in a wooded area blocks away from the Hernandez house. They think the .22 was the gun that Hernandez's accomplices- Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz- were seen carrying the night of the murder.
Here's the story from WBZ-TV
Jenkins has yet to be charged in any aspect of the investigation. And conventional wisdom is that Jenkins will be used to twist Hernandez to incriminate him and keep her out of jail...

Do Surveillance Images Show Hernandez With Murder Weapon???
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
The court documents involved in all of the Aaron Hernandez proceedings are slowly making their way out into the public domain-
gawd bless public records requests...
The new release is a 104-page warrant goes into a few different events...
One was the morning of the first visit to the Hernandez home where North Attleboro, Massachusetts police describe the ex-Pat as "argumentative" and asking, "What's with all the questions?" The police also say he "slammed" the door when police told him they were conducting a death investigation.
Hernandez's fiance, Shayanna Jenkins, said the couple bought the surveillance system because of "several recent break-ins at their residence." This was before Hernandez told Jenkins to cease cooperating with local police in their investigation.
The 104 pages were fairly well redacted...
The warrant also says investigators claim that a shell casing found at the crime seen and one found inside a car rented under Hernandez's name were fired from the same gun.
There are also Xeroxes of photos from the surveillance video taken from the Hernandez home system (seen right, thanks MyFoxBoston)- some that identify him holding a weapon of some sort. Prosecutors believe that the weapon in one of the pictures is a .45- the same type of gun that killed Odin Lloyd.
Ted Daniel looks at the newly released batch of documents...

Alleged co-conspirator Ernest Wallace will be back in court Friday for a pre-trial hearing on charges of being an accessory to murder after the fact.

Hernandez Warrants Released In Murder Investigation, Ortiz Allegedly Told Who Did It
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
156 pages of warrants and information on them were released today in the Aaron Hernandez investigation...
Biggest non-surprise is the behavior or Hernandez in the investigation...
Investigators said that Hernandez became "argumentative" toward them when he was first being questioned and that his behavior "did not indicate any concern for the death of any person." The documents also say Hernandez told his girlfriend-now-fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, that his agent didn't want her talking to investigators.
Hernandez also talked with Odin Lloyd via text and wanted to know if they "were still on" the night of the murder
Here's the morning live shot...
Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston
Carlos Ortiz was denied bond today in another development. In Massachusetts, defendants who are thought of as a "danger to the community" may be held without bail for 90 days.
The third defendant in the case, Ernest Wallace- who is facing an accessory-after-the-fact charge- pleaded not guilty. He will be held without bail until another hearing on July 22, under an agreement between his attorney and prosecutors.
Also, Ortiz is quoted as telling police that Wallace told him the day after the shooting that Hernandez admitted to killing Lloyd.

Police Find More Evidence In Hernandez Condo, Also Discouraging Jailhouse Marriage
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
It's been an interesting day or two in the Aaron Hernandez investigation...
Two more properties connected to Hernandez- a condo in suburban Boston and his uncle's condo in his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut- have had evidence taken from them.
Search warrants show that police found a white hooded-sweatshirt and a baseball cap allegedly worn by Hernandez the night Odin Lloyd was murdered at an apartment Hernandez rented in the suburban Boston town of Franklin. Investigators said they also found a valet parking stub from the W Hotel, which is near the Rumor nightclub in Boston.
Prosecutors allege Hernandez came up with the plan for Lloyd's murder at Rumor because he was angry with Lloyd talking to people about a topic Hernandez didn't want discussed and talking to people at the club that Hernandez "did not like." Police also say they found ammunition in the apartment, including .45-caliber ammunition – the same caliber as the handgun used in the murder.
Also, there has been talk of Hernandez marrying his girlfriend-now-fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins. Jenkins had been cooperating with police during early questioning until she received a call from Hernandez telling her to stop. If the couple was married, Jenkins could be protected from testifying against Hernandez at trial.
Bristol County (MA) Sheriff Tom Hodgson is saying he'll do everything he can to block a marriage- encouraging anyone who wants to get married in jail to stay out of trouble and get married someplace else more appropriate in the first place.
"We're not going to revamp our entire security system to perform marriages inside our prison. If you want to get married, what you do is, you stay out of jail," he told the NFL Network's NFL AM program.
