It was Shaneah Jenkins, 23, who introduced Lloyd, 27, to Hernandez, she said. Hernandez, who dated Jenkins' sister with whom Hernandez shares a child, is charged with orchestrating Llyod's murder.
Today's testimony from Jenkins, now a second-year criminal law student at New England Law School, contradicts the defense team's assertion during opening statements that the two men were good friends.
Lloyd and Hernandez were only just becoming friends and "would hang out and smoke" marijuana in the basement of Hernandez's Massachusetts home, Jenkins said. In opening statements, prosecutors said Hernandez's DNA is on a joint he shared with Lloyd.
Police and emergency responders also took the stand today. They described finding Lloyd face up dead in the industrial park near Herandez's home. He'd been shot 6 times. When photos of his dead body were shown, some of Lloyd's family exited the courtroom. The judge advised the jury not to let emotions or sympathy take away from their focus.
Next week, jurors are scheduled to see Hernandez's house, Lloyd's house and other locations relevant to the case.
