State rests in Hernandez double-murder trial
BOSTON -- Prosecutors have wrapped up their case in the double-murder trial of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez.
The prosecution formally rested its case Monday after more than a month of testimony.
The former tight end for the New England Patriots is charged with first-degree murder in the shootings of two men in 2012. Prosecutors allege he shot the men after one of them bumped into Hernandez and spilled his drink at a Boston nightclub.
Hernandez's attorneys have pointed the finger at the state's star witness, a former friend of Hernandez who was with him the night of the shootings. The defense claims Alexander Bradley shot the men in a drug dispute.
