Newspaper company wants Hernandez juror documents unsealed (The Associated Press)

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) -- Newspaper company GateHouse Media is asking a judge to unseal documents relating to a juror in former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez's recent murder trial in Massachusetts.

The company publishes Fall River's The Herald News, the Taunton Daily Gazette and Quincy's The Patriot Ledger. It says information about the unidentified juror must be made public.

Hernandez lawyer James Sultan last week filed papers under seal requesting an inquiry into the juror's ''exposure to significant extraneous matter.'' A hearing is set for next week.
