Aaron Hernandez's lawyers heading back to court (Yahoo Sports)

Aaron Hernandez is not heading back to court just yet, but his lawyers will be.

A May 21 status hearing has been set for the double murder charge Hernandez faces for a 2012 shooting in Boston's South End.

Prosecutors allege that on July 16, 2012, the former New England Patriots star opened fire on an SUV, killing two people and wounding another.

Hernandez, already serving a life sentence following his conviction last month in the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, has pled not guilty to the double homicide. He will not be in court for the status hearing, but instead will remain in Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, located 40 miles west of Boston.
