Hernandez verdict reached

AP

Earlier this morning, I fired a spitball at the possibility that a verdict in the first Aaron Hernandez case could come early in any given day of deliberations, if the jury reaches a tentative verdict at the end of an afternoon of deliberations, decides to sleep on it, and then finalizes it the next morning.

That’s apparently what has happened in Bristol County, Massachusetts, where a verdict has been reached after more than a week of deliberations.

Hernandez is accused of killing Odin Lloyd. He also faces firearms and weapons charges.

It will be announced soon.
