The fiancee of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is expected to testify in his murder trial Friday, according to the Associated Press reports.
Hernandez and Shayanna Jenkins, have been in a relationship since high school and have a 2-year-old daughter together. She waas granted immunity by the court in February, and could have faced jail time had she not complied.
Jenkins would normally sit behind Hernandez when she would appear in court, but reports say she hasn’t witnessed the trial in person since March 6. She has pleaded not guilty to perjury. Prosecutors say she lied to a grand jury in the investigation of the killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating her younger sister, Shaneah.
Shaneah Jenkins has testified for prosecutors, saying that her sister asked to borrow her car to go get money for house cleaners the day after the killing. Shaneah also testified she saw her sister carry a garbage bag to the basement.
The sisters introduced Hernandez and Lloyd to each other in August 2012.
