Aaron Hernandez murder case: Prosecutors lose key witness
The case against Hernandez took a hit with one of the key witnesses not giving much information.
The prosecution will now have to find another way to go after Hernandez, who has been in custody. Hernandez is accused of killing Lloyd, a former semi-pro football player, then trying to hide and destroy evidence with the help of his girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins. If convicted of the murder, Hernandez could be facing life in prison.
Ernest Wallace, who was also allegedly in the car with Hernandez at the time of Lloyd’s murder, won’t be testifying against Hernandez.
