Police: Hernandez calls tapped before first trial
BOSTON -- A new report says former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez had his jailhouse phone calls hacked ahead of his first murder trial.
A Suffolk Sheriff's Department spokesman told the Boston Herald the hacking happened in 2014, when Hernandez was being held in a Boston jail. He was convicted in 2015 of killing the boyfriend of his fiancée's sister.
The spokesman said the breach was discovered in a database operated by Securus Technologies during a routine security check. Securus has since resolved the issue. He didn't say who accessed Hernandez's calls.
Hernandez is awaiting trial on a 2012 double homicide.
