FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Prosecutors in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial have told a judge they want trophies and religious items removed from his home before jurors visit.
Jurors are due to visit the former New England Patriots player’s home Friday. The judge previously ruled jurors would get to see his trophy case and personal items that were in the home when the June 2013 killing took place. On Thursday, prosecutor Patrick Bomberg told the judge additional trophies and religious items have been added since the killing.
The judge said new items couldn’t be displayed.
