BOSTON -- (WBZ) -- A judge has denied a request from former NFL star Aaron Hernandez to suppress the contents of his cellphone at his upcoming double murder trial.
Judge Jeffrey Locke ruled Wednesday that prosecutors can tell the jury about what they found on the phone when the former New England Patriots tight end goes on trial next month in the 2012 fatal shootings of two men he encountered at a Boston nightclub.
Hernandez's lawyers argued that authorities learned about the phone through confidential communications between Hernandez and his sports agent, who also is an attorney.
