For more than 20 minutes, Bristol County prosecutor William McCauley stood in a Massachusetts courtroom Wednesday detailing the events that led to Aaron Hernandez's arrest and subsequent charge of first-degree murder.
With Hernandez, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, standing just a few feet away, McCauley went through a timeline of events ā€“ extracted from surveillance videos, cell phone records and cell phone towers ā€“ that the prosecution says ended with the execution of Odin Lloyd:
June 16
9:02 p.m.: Hernandez texts a friend out of state, saying "please make it back."
9:05: Hernandez texts Lloyd that he wants to get together.
9:35: Hernandez texts a friend in Connecticut that says "get your ass up here."
10:23: Hernandez texts the same friend, "Hurry your ass up."
McCauley indicated that Hernandez recently had 14 surveillance cameras installed in his home. Video from the cameras show two men arriving at Hernandez's home in North Attleboro. Later footage shows Hernandez with a firearm. At one point, Hernandez says to one of the men that he "can't trust anyone anymore," according to McCauley.
June 17
1:12 a.m.: The three men depart Hernandez's home in a silver Nissan Altima, according to surveillance video, cell phone towers and cell phone records.
Cell towers track their movement south on Interstate 95. At some point, they turn around, then head north before stopping at a gas station on Route 128.
2:10: Hernandez buys gas, a pack of Bubblicious gum and rolling papers.
2:32: The silver Altima arrives at Lloyd's house. Hernandez sends a text message: "We're here."
Lloyd's sister watches Odin Lloyd leave the house and get into the silver Altima. Neighborhood surveillance video shows Hernandez arriving in the neighborhood as well.
Surveillance video tracks the car around Boston.
McCauley explains that during ride back toward North Attleboro, Hernandez tells Lloyd that when they were at a club, Rumor, the previous Friday night, "certain things upset him," including Lloyd talking to some people Hernandez had "troubles" with. McCauley did not indicate how he obtained this information.
Prosecution says the text indicates the "temperature" in the car.
3:07: Lloyd texts his sister, "Did you see who I was with?"
McCauley suggests that this indicates the "temperature" in the car.
Lloyd does not receive a response.
3:11: Lloyd texts his sister again, "Hello."
3:19: Lloyd's sister responds, "My phone was dead. Who?"
3:22: Lloyd responds, "NFL."
3:23: Lloyd: "Just so you know."
By this point, the four men inside the silver Altima have gotten off I-95 on Route 152, near Hernandez's home, McCauley says records show.
3:23 a.m.: McCauley says surveillance video shows the Altima at a fork in the road. McCauley indicates that one way leads to Hernandez's home, the other down a gravel road where Lloyd's body would later be found. Video shows Hernandez's car going down the gravel road behind a group of industrial buildings.
3:23-3:27: People working the overnight in the industrial park hear gunshots.
3:27: Silver Altima is viewed coming out of gravel road.
3:29: Video at Hernandez's home shows the silver Altima pulling into his driveway.
McCauley states that the distance between where Lloyd's body was found and Hernandez's home is a 2-minute drive.
The crime scene:
ā€¢ According to McCauley, police found five shell casings ā€“ three at Lloyd's feet, two some distance away.
ā€¢ An autopsy showed two wounds to the chest ā€“ one near the left nipple, the other near the right nipple.
ā€¢ Lloyd did not appear to be robbed, as he still had his wallet, phone and keys.
McCauley explained that Hernandez returned the Altima to a rental car agency, with the driver's-side mirror missing. A worker at rental agency discovered a shell casing under the driver's seat, next to a Bubblicious wrapper. The shell casing and the gum wrapper were tossed into a garbage bin, where police later found them.
After McCauley finished, Hernandez's defense team requested their client be granted bail based on the prosecution's reliance on circumstantial evidence. "It is at bottom a circumstantial case," Hernandez's attorney Michael Fee told the court. "It is not a strong case." Bail was denied and Hernandez, who stood expressionless through most of the arraignment, remained in custody.

Great info Venemous!

Hernandez is totally fucked. One would think that if you are going to murder someone, that you would be meticulous about it. One would think that if you were rich and wanted to murder someone you would pay someone highly skilled in that profession to carry out the job. One would think that if you were rich and wanted to murder someone you sure as hell would not be getting high before doing so. One would think that if you did murder someone that you would make sure all evidence was gone before returning a rental car, like looking under the seat for shell casings or bubblegum wrappers from the gum you were chewing.

Hernandez is dumber than Anna Nicole Smith with severe mental retardation high on drugs. :picard:

If what VenomousDSG posted it true, that looks really bad for Hernandez. It sounds like amateur hour for sure. I still don't really understand why he wanted to kill this guy. The friend was talking to people that Hernandez didn't like? That's worth killing someone?

I hope Hernandez had a good first half of his life since he is going to be f*cked the second half.

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but does the government/phone companies track/record your location even when you're not on the phone?

I ask because it said they used cell towers to determine their location, but it didn't say that they were on a call or sending a text message each time the location was pinpointed.

i believe they can, yes.
I know they can get a warrant for pinging where they send signals to a certain phone and they can use the cell towers to find the location of said phone.
