FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — The uncle of Aaron Hernandez’s fiancee says the former New England Patriots star told him the day after the killing that his endorsements were gone.
Azia (ah-ZEYE’-ah) Jenkins said Wednesday that Hernandez didn’t elaborate. He said Hernandez said it after a commercial came on TV while they played pool in Hernandez’s basement.
Jenkins said Hernandez appeared cool, calm and collected.
Hernandez is charged with the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.
Azia Jenkins said he was leaving Hernandez’s home June 18 when police arrived and spoke to him. He then went to the police station. When he returned to Hernandez’s home, he said Hernandez asked what police had asked him.
Not long after that, he said, Hernandez commented about his endorsements.
