FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) – The fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is back on the stand for a second day of testimony in his murder trial.

Shayanna Jenkins on Monday is expected to talk about a box she disposed of from their basement the day after Odin Lloyd was killed in 2013. Lloyd was dating Jenkins’ younger sister.

Jenkins was compelled to testify under a grant of immunity. She wore her engagement ring on the stand Friday, though she rarely looked at Hernandez as she spoke.

Before jurors were brought in Friday, Jenkins was asked about her testimony. She indicated that she would say it was important to Hernandez for her to get rid of the box. Prosecutors have said it may have held evidence or the murder weapon, which was never found.
