Hernandez lawyer claims juror lied during jury selection

With former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez now facing a date for the launch of his second murder trial, his lawyers are still trying to get his first murder conviction, for killing Odin Lloyd, thrown out.

Via the Associated Press, lawyer James Sultan claims he received a tip the day after the guilty verdict that one of the jurors may not have been truthful during jury selection.

The tipster allegedly told Sultan that she recognized the juror from the televised joint post-verdict interview of all jurors, and that the juror in question had been present for a discussion about the double-murder charge against Hernandez from a killing unrelated to the death of Lloyd.
