Defence rests in Aaron Hernandez’s double-murder trial
BOSTON — The defence has rested its case in the double-murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez.
Lawyers for Hernandez called their final witnesses Wednesday. Hernandez was not called to testify in his own defence.
The former tight end for the New England Patriots is charged in the fatal shootings of two men after a brief encounter in a Boston nightclub in July 2012.
A friend who was with Hernandez testified that Hernandez shot them two hours after one of the men bumped into Hernandez at the club and spilled his drink.
