Aaron Hernandez's Trial Has Been Delayed

According to ESPN, a judge on Tuesday agreed to delay the trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez in the 2012 slaying of two Boston men after his lawyer said Hernandez's defense team is busy trying to prepare for his trial in a 2013 killing.

Judge Jeffrey Locke agreed to delay Hernandez's Boston trial but did not set a new date, saying he wants to see how long the trial in Lloyd's murder takes before picking a firm date.

Hernandez, who is being held without bail, was not in court. His lawyers waived his right to be present for the hearing.

Prosecutors say Hernandez shot the two Boston men after one of them accidentally spilled a drink on him at the nightclub in June 2014. He's accused of following the men, then opening fire on their car at a stoplight, killing them and injuring a third man. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty.
