Patriots owner Kraft called in Hernandez trial

Published

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was called to testify in the murder trial of former tight end Aaron Hernandez in Fall River, Mass., on Tuesday morning.

Kraft took the stand and apologized for a head cold. He said Hernandez denied any involvement in the murder of Odin Lloyd, and told the team he was at a club at the time.

Kraft said two days after the murder, when Hernandez came to the team facility, the 25-year-old “hugged and kissed me and thanked me for my concern.” Kraft said that was a usual greeting with Hernandez.

Prosecutors questioned Kraft about if and where he worked. The owner said he does “whatever they ask me to do” at One Patriot Place in Foxborough, Mass.

The defense team cross-examined Kraft about his level of trust in Hernandez, and where it must’ve been to sign him to a $40 million contract extension in 2012.

“I don’t get into the details, I just knew we signed him,” said Kraft.
