Prosecutors spent $462,000 on Aaron Hernandez prosecution (The Associated Press)

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) -- Massachusetts prosecutors say the investigation and trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez cost them nearly half a million dollars.

The $462,000 tally was released Friday by the Bristol District Attorney's Office.

Hernandez was convicted in April of first-degree murder for shooting Odin Lloyd in 2013.

District attorney spokesman Gregg Miliote (mil-ee-OH'-tee) says the office spent $360,462.30 on overtime for state police. It spent $101,834.64 for expenses such as experts and travel.

Miliote says the tally doesn't include what it spent for salaried employees who worked on the prosecution.
