Aaron Hernandez's cousin walked out of a Boston jail on Thursday, more five-months after she was charged in connection with the first-degree murder charges the former New England Patriots tight end now faces, according to ESPN.com.
Tanya Singleton posted $15,000 cash bail and was instructed by Bristol Superior Court judge Susan Garsh to regularly report to a probation officer and wear an electronic monitoring device.
Singleton has pleaded not guilty to criminal contempt and conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact charges. Prosecutors allege she aided Hernandez's "right-hand man" Ernest Wallace in fleeing police after the bullet-riddled body of 27-year-old one-time Hernandez associate Odin Lloyd was found dumped in an industrial park less than a mile from his North Attleborough mansion. They also insist she spoke with fellow alleged accomplice Carlos Ortiz about fleeing to Puerto Rico.
Despite being granted immunity, Singleton has continued to refuse to testify before the same grand jury that indicted Hernandez.
The 24-year-old former NFL star has pleaded not guilty and is expected to go on trial sometime later this year.
