Hearing ends for tipster over Aaron Hernandez jury integrity (The Associated Press)

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) -- A closed-door hearing has concluded for an anonymous tipster who raised questions about the integrity of one of the jurors who convicted former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez of murder.

Hernandez was allowed to attend Friday's hearing, but the public was not.

Outside court, prosecutors and Hernandez's lawyers said they couldn't comment, citing a gag order.

The tipster and the juror haven't been publicly identified.

A lawyer for Hernandez says the tipster called him after Hernandez was convicted in June of the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd.
