We feel like we're a broken record at this point, but can Aaron Hernandez's trial get any weirder?

Over the last few weeks, there have been quite a few strange stories that have come out of the trial (see here, here, and here). And today, another pretty crazy thing happened when the former Patriots tight end's trial was interrupted by a bomb threat. Yes, a bomb threat. The threat was called in at about noon, and the entire Fall River Justice Center had to be evacuated.

Hopefully the threat was just a hoax. Stay tuned for more details.

UPDATE:

Hernandez has reportedly been evacuated from the building and is being transported to a "secure location":
