            Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez's jury selection begins Friday, as attorneys begin to whittle down a pool of more than 1,100 potential jurors to the small group that will decide whether Hernandez is guilty of murdering semipro football player Odin Lloyd. That pool is about 10 times larger than usual, largely because of concerns over finding an impartial jury. Attorneys will select 18 jurors, including six alternates.  Hernandez, 25, has pleaded not guilty. His friends Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz have also been charged with murder in Lloyd's death. They have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately.
           This case has cased much attention and its interesting to see how it all plays out.  It sounds like Hernandez is guilty but the trial will be difficult especially with all the evidence being thrown out.  Hopefully the victim and the face of the victims family gets justice and Hernandez is put in jail.  It would be a shame if he gets away with the crime he has committed.
