Aaron Hernandez was back in court this week, and the next big step in his case will have to wait. A judge granted prosecutors more time before a probable cause hearing, according to reports from NESN, NBC News and local Boston outlets.
Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end, is charged with murder in the death of Odin Lloyd, a 27 year old semi pro football player. He has pleaded not guilty.
The probable cause hearing was meant to let prosecutors show that a crime was committed and that there is enough evidence to link Hernandez to it. Instead, prosecutors asked for a continuance, explaining that a grand jury is still hearing evidence in the case. The judge agreed, and the hearing was rescheduled for August 22.
Hernandez’s defense attorneys were not happy about the delay. According to NESN, they said they were frustrated by the continuance and insisted their client will be exonerated.
