Last month, the prosecution in Aaron Hernandez's murder trial offered the former Patriots tight end's fiancée Shayanna Jenkins immunity in exchange for her testimony about what happened on the night of Odin Lloyd's death. And while it was initially a little unclear whether or not she'd accept their offer, it seems she's decided to do it and has taken the stand this morning to testify.
Thus far, she has revealed that Hernandez did not admit to killing Lloyd when she questioned him about it. Before the jury was brought into the courtroom today, she was asked if Hernandez admitted guilt after being questioned by police following Lloyd's death and said that he hadn't.
"I asked him if he did it," Jenkins said, "and he said, 'No.'"
Later, she admitted that Hernandez kept one gun in the couple's home inside of a junk drawer in the kitchen. But she was not able to identify what kind of gun it was.
The prosecution is also expected to ask Jenkins about a box that she allegedly removed from the home she shared with Hernandez following Lloyd's death. So stay tuned. We will update you with more details about her testimony as they become available.
