Aaron Hernandez Trial Update: Ex-NFL Star's Nike Air Jordan 11 Lows Match Footprint at Crime Scene

In a new development to the trial of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, a witness told the court that the suspect was wearing the same Nike shoes that left footprints on the crime scene where Odin Lloyd's body was found.

Nike consultant Herbert Hedges, according to Associated Press, was shown a surveillance video of Hernandez at a gas station more than an hour before the killing and another video inside Hernandez's home 10 minutes after the incident. Through the said footage, Hedges said that the former NFL player was wearing Nike Air Jordan 11 Lows in both instances. Prosecutors earlier claimed that footprints from the same shoe model were found on the crime scene.

To defend his client, Hernandez's lawyer James Sultan said that more than 3 million shoes with the same sole have been made. Hedges, however claimed that fewer were produced for people with size 13 feet, the size Hernandez wears. The witness seemed to be an authority in terms of shoes as he has been workng with Nike for about 30 years.

During the same trial, Daily Mail said witness Kwami Nicholas claimed that he saw Hernandez stare at Lloyd inside a night club prior to his death. Nicholas said that the former NFL player looked at Lloyd and another before walking out quickly from the club.

He added that Lloyd ran after Hernandez when he "walked real fast with his head down" but the latter brushed him off.

"He seemed like he was angry about something. He looked like he was upset," Nicholas added.

Hernandez is facing murder and firearm charges and could spend his entire life in prison if proven guilty for the killing of his fiancee's brother. He earlier pleaded not guilty to the cases against him.

Daily Mail said the 25-year-old Hernandez had a $41-million contract with the Patriots when he was cut following his arrest for the killing. Two of his friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, are also being investigated for allegedly being his accomplices in carrying out the crime.

Reports said his two companions picked up Lloyd at his home in Boston then drove him to an industrial park near Hernandez's residence in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, where his dead body was found.

The victim reportedly sustained five gunshot wounds from a .45 caliber handgun which was never recovered, though prosecutors claimed that they found shell casings on the crime scene consistent with the one removed from a car rental returned by Hernandez.

It seems that evidence against Hernandez is getting stronger each time a trial is done but he still maintains his innocence. More witnesses and testimonies will hopefully bring an end to this trial and give justice where it is due since Lloyd's family has long been waiting for it.
