Prosecutors Continue to Detail Evidence Tying Aaron Hernandez to Murder
Published at
ABC News(FALL RIVER, Mass.) — A Massachusetts police sergeant testified Friday that he recovered a piece of chewed gum and bullet shell casing from a garbage dumpster — evidence prosecutors have insisted tie former NFL player Aaron Hernandez to the murder of Odin Lloyd.
Sgt. Paul Baker, who works for the Massachusetts State Police, said the items were removed and photographed as evidence.
At one point, Hernandez could be seen staring at a TV monitor displaying the items police had collected.
The gum and shell casing had originally been thrown out by a National Rent-a-Car employee in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, who had cleaned up a vehicle Hernandez had rented around the time of Lloyd’s murder.
In his testimony, Baker also said because of the “media frenzy,” investigators went unnoticed at the car rental office since they did not wear their “State Police” jackets.
Hernandez is charged in Lloyd’s death in June 2013. Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee at the time.
