Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of Odin Lloyd. The former New England Patriots tight end is accused of murdering Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player from the Boston area. Hernandez also pleaded not to guilty to several weapons charges. Prosecutors say Hernandez and two other men drove with Lloyd on June 17 to a North Attleboro industrial park, where Lloyd was shot multiple times and left for dead. Hernandez's lawyer has insisted his client is the victim of a rush to judgement. Source: NFL.com
