Still no verdict in Aaron Hernandez double-murder trial

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is seated during closing arguments in his trial at Suffolk Superior Court, Thursday, April 6, 2017, in Boston.

Judge Jeffrey Locke addresses the court during jury deliberations in the trial of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez at Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Wednesday, April 12, 2017.

Jurors have spent about 21 hours deliberating since Friday. The girl sat with her mother, Hernandez's longtime fiancee.

Deliberations will resume around 9 a.m.in Suffolk Superior Court.

There was a surprise visitor in the courtroom in which Aaron Hernandez's double-murder trial is being conducted and she brought a big smile to the face of the former New England Patriots tight end. His lawyers say Hernandez's former friend was the triggerman.

The former New England Patriots tight end is charged with first-degree murder in the 2012 shootings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

Jurors have not asked a question since Monday, when they inquired about whether they could find Hernandez indirectly guilty on the witness intimidation charge. Prosecutors say it was an attempt to silence Bradley, who claimed in testimony last month to have seen Hernandez shoot the victims.

Hernandez is already serving a life sentence for the June 2013 execution-style slaying of his friend Odin L. Lloyd, a semi-pro football player from Dorchester.
