Robert Kraft's testimony in Aaron Hernandez case was 'compelling,' jurors say

FALL RIVER -- In a 25-minute interview session with reporters following the guilty verdict in the Aaron Hernandez trial, jurors agreed that the testimony of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was "compelling."

When Kraft took the stand on March 31, he testified that he spoke with Hernandez two days after the murder of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez had been working out in one of the Gillette Stadium weight rooms.

Kraft testified, "He said he was not involved. That he was innocent and that he hoped that the time of the murder incident came out because he said he was in a club.
