New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may be compelled to testify in Aaron Hernandez's double-murder trial.
NBC Connecticut's Marc Fortier reported Wednesday Hernandez's defense attorneys listed Belichick, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and Mike and Maurkice Pouncey as potential witnesses. Belichick and McDaniels coached Hernandez while he played in New England, while the Pouncey brothers were his teammates on the Florida Gators.
A Massachusetts jury found Hernandez guilty of first-degree murder in April 2015 in the death of Odin Lloyd. As a result of the verdict, the 27-year-old received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
