BOSTON (AP) -- The Latest on the double-murder trial of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez (all times local):
10:55 a.m.
A juror in the double-murder trial of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez has been dismissed after telling the court he once coached a football team with a police officer who was scheduled to testify.
Hernandez's lawyers were allowed to use a peremptory challenge Wednesday to dismiss the man. The case will now be heard by 15 people - 12 regular jurors and three alternates.
Opening statements are expected to begin late Wednesday morning.
Hernandez is charged in the 2012 fatal shootings of two men he encountered at a Boston nightclub.
