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...

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...

Prosecutors: Carlos Ortiz Changes Testimony In Hernandez Case
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
And is now making it extremely interesting... and, maybe, extremely difficult to make a clean conviction...
The words "reasonable doubt" are now in play...
During the Ernest Wallace bail hearing, it was made clear that alleged Aaron Hernandez co-conspirator Carlos Ortiz is now saying that only Hernandez exited the car at the scene of Odin Lloyd's murder. Originally, Ortiz said both Hernandez and Wallace exited the car.
Prosecutors claimed Wallace told Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, about the Lloyd murder, and Singleton was jailed for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating Odin Lloyd's murder. Investigators also allege a portion of a text message between Hernandez and Lloyd took place on Wallace's phone.
Wallace's attorneys maintained that their client should have had a bail lower than $500,000 because he was charged with accessory and not an actual murder charge. The judge ruled Wallace should continue to be held on $500,000 bail.

College Baseball Player Killed Because Kids Were "Bored" (UPDATED With Charges Filed)
((HT: KFOR-TV))
Australian Christopher Lane, a baseball player for East Central University in the south Oklahoma town of Ada, was visiting his girlfriend Friday in the town of Duncan- 85 miles east. Police allege that three teens drove up and shot him in the back "because they were bored" as one of the suspects who confessed to the crime apparently told Duncan, Oklahoma police.
The suspects’ car was identified on security cameras and hours later, the three suspects – ages 15, 16 and 17 – were arrested.
All three suspects are still being held at the Stephens County (OK) jail on a first-degree murder complaint. Their arraignment was postponed until Tuesday afternoon after initially being scheduled for Monday.
Here's the story from Duncan...
"He was an absolute joy to coach," baseball coach Dino Rosato said in a statement issued by the school. "Chris was an extremely well-respected teammate. ... He set a great example for all of his teammates, but more importantly for the younger players. He was a mature student-athlete who his teammates could look to for advice and support."
Mike Smith of the Duncan (OK) Banner newspaper caught up with town sheriff Danny Ford:
Ford said the 17-year-old suspect implicated the 16-year-old as the one who pulled the trigger while the three drove by in a car.
The 17-year-old was the only one providing any details, he said. Stephens County Sheriff Wayne McKinney said the teens were being isolated from one another and other inmates at the Stephens County Jail. Police have not found the gun or bullet casing but Ford said statements made by the 17-year-old lead police to think it might have been a revolver.
The mother of the 16-year-old has come forward and apologized to Lane's family. But she also believes that her son was not the one who pulled the trigger.
TUESDAY UPDATE:
Officials have charged 15-year-old James Edwards Jr. and 16-year-old Chancey Luna with first-degree murder as adults.
In addition, 17-year-old Michael Jones is facing two felony counts of discharging a weapon and accessory to murder after the fact.
He is being charged as a juvenile.

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.
