Jurors in murder trial of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez stand outside victim’s home during tour

FALL RIVER, Mass. – Jurors in the murder trial of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez are visiting the home where the victim lived.

The former NFL player is accused of the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating his fiancee’s sister.

The jurors stood outside Lloyd’s home Friday. Massachusetts State Police had closed the street and blocked access to it by the public and media.

Prosecutors have said Lloyd got into a car driven by Hernandez on that street shortly before he was killed.

Jurors are set next to visit the industrial park where Lloyd’s body was found.

They are also being taken on a tour inside Hernandez’s home.

Hernandez is not allowed on the tour, but lawyers for both sides and the judge are attending.
