FALL RIVER, Mass. — The judge in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez says closing arguments will be presented Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh told jurors Monday that they have heard all the evidence they will hear in the case and that they should be back at court at 9 a.m. Tuesday. After closing arguments from both sides, jurors will be instructed in the law and then begin deliberations.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was shot six times at an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez’s home.
His lawyers rested Monday after calling just three witnesses. Prosecutors called 131 witnesses.
The trial has lasted more than two months.
