Aaron Hernandez faces 2nd murder case related to 2 deaths in 2012

By

Former New England Patriots' Aaron Hernandez is under fire for a second murder trial. This time, the ex-football star is the respondent in a double murder case.

Following lengthy investigation, Hernandez has been indicted for the two deaths after he was spotted on surveillance footage on the night of the murder, according to Boston. Hernandez pleaded not guilty to the murder charges while prosecutors theorize that the unsuspecting victims was at the end of Hernandez' ire after one of them accidentally spilled drink on him and failed to apologize. This theory has been bolstered by the statement of a security supervisor at Boston's Rumor nightclub where Hernandez encountered de Abreu and Furtado.

The case has had several postponements. One of which was Suffolk Superior Judge Jeffrey Locke's order at the request of Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley who represent Hernandez.

"In the interests of justice, the joint motion to continue is allowed,'' Locke wrote according to Boston Globe. "The Commonwealth and Hernandez contend that postponing the trial is in the best interests of justice and will not cause the Commonwealth or Hernandez to suffer any prejudice.''

Currently serving life imprisonment for the murder of Odin Lloyd without the possibility of parole, Hernandez is on trial once again as the accused triggerman in the drive-by killings of Daniel de Abreu, 29 and Safiro Furtado, 28 in 2012 and in an armed assault and attempted murder case filed against him for a non-fatal shooting incident of the three surviving witnesses. Abreu and Furtado both died inside their BMW sedan.

The 25-year old ex-football star is detained at the Souza-Baranowski maximum security prison in Shirley, Massachusetts, according to New York Daily News. Prior to his conviction, Hernandez had just signed a $40 million extension with the New England Patriots.

The case is brought before the Supreme Judicial Court. Both the prosecution and the defense are fighting over the admissibility of a device that is under the custody of a law firm.
