A crucial piece of evidence was just introduced in the Aaron Hernandez’s murder trial.
A Massachusetts State Police sergeant has testified that the shell casings found in Aaron Hernandez’s rental car and at the murder scene were fired from the same weapon.
Five shell casings were found at the scene where Odin Lloyd was killed in June 2013. An employee of a rental car business has testified she found one shell casing in the Nissan Altima that Hernandez rented and returned the day of the killing.
Police later found that shell casing in a trash bin at the business.
The one problem for the prosecution is the murder weapon has never been found. So, while you can connect the dots, it isn’t the same as actually having the gun that committed the murder.
