In the aftermath of the conviction of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez for the murder of Odin Lloyd, it was expected that a date for the next murder trial of Aaron Hernandez would be picked within a matter of days. It wasn’t. It could be today.
According to the Associated Press, a hearing in the case arising from the July 2012 shooting deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado happens Thursday. The judge could pick a day for the commencement of the trial then.
Originally, the double-murder case was due to go to trial in late May.
