BOSTON (Reuters) - A judge on Tuesday agreed to delay until early next year the trial of former National Football League star Aaron Hernandez on charges of killing two men outside a Boston nightclub in 2012, according to court papers.

Hernandez, 25, is already serving a life sentence after a jury earlier this year found him guilty of murdering semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd in an industrial park not far from the New England Patriots' home field in 2013.
