FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) – Jurors in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez have asked the judge for clarification on weapon and ammunition possession charges Hernandez faces.
The judge brought the jury in Wednesday afternoon after receiving two questions about the possession charges.
Hernandez is charged with illegally possessing a .45-caliber handgun and .22-caliber ammunition.
Jurors asked whether they needed to find Hernandez intended to use the item. The judge said no.
They also asked what “dominion, power or control” over the item means. The judge said it means the ability to decide what is to be done with the object.
Hernandez is charged with killing Odin Lloyd in June 2013. Lloyd was dating the sister of his fiancee.
Jurors earlier Wednesday sent another note asking for a list of exhibits.
