FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) – A Massachusetts medical examiner has taken the stand in the murder trial of former New England Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez.
Dr. William Zane is expected to be the last witness called by the prosecution before it rests Thursday.
His testimony might be graphic at times. He will be asked to detail the gunshot wounds that killed Odin Lloyd on June 17, 2013.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in Lloyd’s killing. Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.
Lloyd’s mother and other family members were sitting in their usual spot in the front row behind prosecutors Thursday morning. His mother left the room ahead of Zane’s testimony.
