Aaron Hernandez's lawyer asks to question anonymous tipster (The Associated Press)

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) -- A lawyer for former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is asking a judge to let him question under oath a woman who called him anonymously and raised questions about a member of the jury that convicted his client of murder.

James Sultan told the judge Monday that he had identified the tipster who told him a juror may have been ''untruthful'' during jury selection.

Her name is redacted in filings the court released Tuesday, but Sultan said she has had ''extensive personal contact'' with Hernandez since he was arrested in June 2013 for the killing of Odin Lloyd.
