Another win for the defense as Odin Lloyd’s text messages have been ruled inadmissible by the judge overseeing Aaron Hernandez’s murder trial.
Prosecutors in a murder case against ex-New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez won’t be allowed to tell a jury about the final text messages sent by the victim to his sister, a judge ruled Friday.
Prosecutors say Lloyd sent the messages while in a car with Hernandez and suggested they showed he had become fearful. One said, “U saw who I’m with” and another indicated the person was “NFL,” referring to Hernandez.
Defense lawyers called it “rank speculation” that the texts indicated fear and said they were inadmissible.
