Prosecutors called more than 100 witnesses since testimony began Jan. 29.
They also submitted hundreds of pieces of evidence, including surveillance videos of Hernandez picking up Lloyd the night of the murder, video from inside Hernandez's home that showed him holding a black object that prosecutors contend was a gun less than 10 minutes after Lloyd's killing, a marijuana joint found near Lloyd's body had DNA from both men on it, Hernandez's shoes with dirt consistent with the crime scene on them, etc..
DEFENSE STARTS MONDAY -- ONLY ONE DAY EXPECTED FOR DEFENSE CASE
Hernandez's lawyer James Sultan told Garsh this week that the defense team expects to call witnesses Monday and to wrap up their questioning that same day.

Hernandez's legal team has challenged the evidence during cross-examinations, calling into question the testimony of an employee of weapons manufacturer Glock who had identified the black object as a gun and arguing instead that it was a piece of electronics such as an iPad or a TV remote. They also have gone after the police investigation, painting it as bumbling and inept and saying Hernandez was targeted as a suspect because he is a celebrity. (<-- HOTD: essentially, the OJ defense)
JURY DELIBERATIONS BEGIN NEXT WEEK
Once the defense rests, each side will deliver a closing argument. Then the jury will be given instructions, and three alternates will be randomly selected from among the 15 jurors immediately before deliberating. A jury of 12 members will decide Hernandez's fate.
