This could be a difficult thing to pull off for a juror on the Aaron Hernandez murder case.
If you’re a member of the Hernandez jury sitting in a sports bar — do you cover your ears or run to the bathroom if you even think his name is about to be mentioned by Al Michaels?
The 18 members of the jury pool will be allowed to watch the Patriots team play in Sunday’s Super Bowl, but the judge overseeing the case says they must leave the room if his name is mentioned.
Bristol County Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh closed the second day of testimony Friday by telling jurors they may watch the game if it is important to them, but they must be vigilant for mention of the case or Hernandez.
“You hear that word, you’ve got to walk out of the room,” Garsh said. “Distance yourself.”
