Judge rejects motion to dismiss murder charges against Aaron Hernandez

Associated Press

A Bristol Superior Court judge has rejected a motion to dismiss the murder charges that Aaron Hernandez is facing. Hernandez is accused of the murder of Odin Loyd in June of 2013.

Hernandez's lawyers argued that prosecutors hadn't shown probable cause to sustain the murder charge against Hernandez and that they hadn't presented any evidence or motive for the slaying.



The judge stated that circumstantial evidence can be used to establish probable cause. Also that the state does not need to establish a motive for the murder charge to stick.

Aaron Hernandez will remain in jail with out bail while he awaits his trial. The trial is scheduled to start on January 9, 2015

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
