A woman who prosecutors says Aaron Hernandez was having affair with while in jail is being summoned to court for an appeal hearing.
The woman has said she has evidence of jury misconduct, but doesn’t want to come forward, she has no choice now according to TMZ.
Hernandez’s lawyers have been in contact with a woman who claims she recognized one of the jurors as someone familiar with Odin Lloyd’s murder, and was angling to get on the jury panel.
But since the woman refused to reveal her identity in court … Hernandez’ legal team asked the court to force her to testify, and the judge just signed off.
According to docs, the anonymous woman will have to come in to court and get questioned by prosecutors and the Hernandez legal team. The hearing will be closed to the public.
If her evidence is compelling, Hernandez could get a new trial. It is a long shot, but better than no shot for Hernandez.
