Aaron Hernandez Murder Case Update: New England Patriots Hands Over Former Tight End’s Psych Test; Judge Throws Athlete’s Motion To Dismiss

The Aaron Hernandez murder case update revealed that the New England Patriots have agreed to turn over the psych evaluation of the former tight end to the defense team, as Bristol Superior Court judge Susan Garsh threw out the motion to dismiss the athlete's gun and murder charges.

In a report by Boston Herald, the team reportedly will hand over the tests and personality assessment after its earlier objection to make the documents part of the Aaron Hernandez murder case trial. This was confirmed by the former tight end's attorney, Michael Fee.

Meanwhile, Aaron Hernandez murde case will continue trial after the judge nixed the motion filed by the defense that the athlete was wrongly accused of murder since the prosecutors did not establish that he actually fired the gun to kill Odin Lloyd near his house in North Attleborough.

In her ruling, the judge said: "The Commonwealth was not required to present evidence before the grand jury as to exactly how Hernandez participated in the murder or as to who shot Lloyd, given the strong evidence that Hernandez or two Hernandez allies shot the man."

The judge also weighed in on the defense's argument that the evidence only placed Aaron Hernandez with the two other defendants along with Lloyd in the car, according to Boston Globe. However, "the grand jury heard sufficient evidence to establish probable cause that Hernandez intentionally participated in some meaningful way in the commission of the offense."

Earlier, the Boston's CBS revealed Aaron Hernandez murder case trial update when it reported that the former tight end will be moved to Nashua jail from the Bristol County Jail so he could be near his lawyers.

Suffolk County sheriff Steven Tompkins said that Aaron Hernandez won't get special treatment while at the Nashua jail. Just like any inmate, he will be assessed to determine if he will be placed among the general population or in isolation.

He said that the former tight end won't be "treated any differently than any other pretrial detainee."

The Nashua jail cell measures roughly 7 feet x 10 feet and two to three beds along with a toilet.
