Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, is now facing a new charge in relation to a double homicide case.
According to Scott Isaacs of WCVB.com in Boston on Monday, the 25-year-old former University of Florida standout has been charged with witness intimidation for the alleged shooting of Alexander Bradley:
