Breaking news: Aaron Hernandez murder trial begins with opening statements
At the trial of former New England Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez for the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, Hernandez’s ex-fiancee Shayanna Jenkins admitted to disposing of a box at his request.
On the Monday after previously telling the jury that Hernandez had come home from the night in question and allegedly told her that he did not kill Odin Lloyd, she admitted to disposing of the box which prosecutors claim contained the Glock pistol Hernandez used to kill Lloyd.
Jenkins admit Hernandez told her to “remove a box.”He told me to go downstairs in our storage room and remove a box from our house.”

“I believe he said it was important, I’m not sure.” Did he tell you why you should do this? “I don’t remember.” — Greg A. Bedard (@GregABedard) March 30, 2015
What did you do with the box? “I disposed of it.” Where? “I don’t know.” She says she drove around Plainsville, N. Attleboro, Foxboro.

Jenkins was originally going to be put on trial for committing perjury multiple times while in the grand jury room, but was given an immunity deal in exchange for her testimony against Hernandez. Via ABC, Jenkins admitted that she asked Hernandez if he killed Lloyd, and that Hernandez denied it.
Hernandez, a former Pro Bowl TE for the New England Patriots and a key member of several of their division title winning teams from 2010 to 2012, is also under indictment for the murder of two men in a Boston double homicide back in 2012. However, references to that investigation will not be made available at trial, even though this USA Today article is just an example of the widely held suspicions that the death of Lloyd was related to the double-homicide.
