Aaron Hernandez, the ex-New England Patriots star tight end who stands accused of orchestrating the murder of Odin Lloyd, and pulling the trigger in his shooting death, will be back in court again today at 9:00 a.m. Follow Day 30 of the court proceedings free here.
A number of recorded conversations between Hernandez and various people have been made public, and some are speculating that the phone calls may create fissures in the former Patriot’s camp. Also, the prosecution may use the conversations, and their somewhat coded nature, as evidence that Hernandez is a man with something to hide.
One conversation with his fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, might be interpreted as Hernandez trying to urge her to remove some form of evidence from his home. Yahoo Sports’ report indicates that Jenkins may not have picked up on his code words, or the message may not have had any secret meaning at all,.
"My clothes still at the house?" Hernandez asked.
"Where do you think they are?" Jenkins said.
"I don't know," Hernandez said.
"I mean, what, what do you think I'm doing," Jenkins said. "I really don't understand. Like, where do you think your clothes are? Your clothes are exactly, I mean, that is your house. Your clothes are exactly where they're supposed to be. … I thought about moving your shoes to give me some more room, but, I mean, I left them."
Hernandez’s shoes from the night of the murder have never been found, and those shoes would be crucial evidence since large footprints were found in the dirt near Lloyd’s body when he was found.
Hernandez was also recorded warning his aunt, Tanya Singleton, to be careful about what she said on the jail phones. “Hey, watch what you say. This phone is recorded,” Hernandez told Singleton.
There’s also the thinking that these calls might convince Jenkins, who has immunity, to flip on Hernandez and testify for the prosecution. She is believed to have disposed of evidence in the case, including the murder weapon and possibly the shoes Hernandez wore. On the call Hernandez is recorded saying he has set up a trust fund for two boys, possibly Singleton's young sons, that he did not want Jenkins to know about.
"Don't tell nobody," Hernandez told an unidentified woman. "I don't want nobody to know about it. And I ain't even telling my girl, nobody."
