Baez called Bradley a "liar, "perjurer" and "parasite" who got the "deal of a lifetime" from prosecutors after he named Hernandez as the shooter". Jurors must decide whether the fallen National Football League star pulled the trigger of a.38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver on July 16, 2012, when prosecutors say he stalked Daniel de Abreu, 29, and Safiro Furtado, 28, to a traffic light in the South End because Abreu accidentally splashed a drink on him in Cure Lounge.
He says Hernandez's fiance Shayanna Jenkins lied during testimony to cover up his whereabouts. Hernandez initially politely declined his request, according to Salvador's testimony, but agreed after he told Hernandez it was his birthday.
Bradley said Hernandez shot him in the face while the two were on a 2013 trip to Florida after Bradley mentioned the Boston shooting. "Have a good night".
To this point in the trial, the prosecution hasn't presented anything that unquestionably puts the gun in Hernandez's hand, only a theory and an eyewitness with motive to lie. Assistant District Attorney Mark Lee cross-examines a witness during former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez's double murder trial in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Wednesday, April 5, 2017.
Jurors also heard for the first time from street sweeper Warren McMaster, who testified that he went through the crime scene shortly after shots were fired and saw a woman - not a man - hanging out of the sunroof of an SUV next to the victims' BMW.

"You'd have to ask the defense why they wanted it created", Downs said.
Defense attorney Jose Baez once again lived up to his reputation in closing arguments on Thursday with an empassioned plea to the jurors asking them to find his client not guilty. Bradley testified that when he pulled alongside that vehicle while it was stopped at a red light, Hernandez sprayed it with gunfire.
Prosecutors say Hernandez killed de Abreu and Furtado in July 2016 because he felt disrespected after de Abreu bumped into him and spilled his drink. His lawyer claims Bradley shot the men over a drug deal.
Alexander Bradley, the key witness in the murder case against Aaron Hernandez, was "honest to a fault" and stuck to what he believed he had seen, even when some evidence contradicted him.
