and they have an eyewitness, eyewitnesses, including alexander bradley, the same alexander bradley who testified in this case, who was accused aaron hernandez of shooting him in the face, it's his troubles are far from over. >> yeah. there's no question about that. and it will be very interesting to see hows these two cases do, in fact, overlap and that will probably happen at the second trial. but i want to go to our panel because we heard from the jury. i was a little bit surprised and maybe it was just relief, maybe it was nervous tension that had been building up, that they seemed happy. they were laughing a little bit at times. which did surprise me because a man is now going to jail for the rest of his life, to prison for the rest of his life. the first question that was asked, first of all the demeanor of the jury, did you see anything odd about it? >> ur yes a talking about the fact that they were prone to a little laughing fits here and there, listen, they've been through such a solemn, long process, emotionally they're exhausted. i think it's very natural psychological thing

alexander bradley says he lost his eye after his friend hernandez shot him in the face following an argument at a florida strip club in february 2013. he is suing hernandez in federal court. bradley turns out is allegedly also an eyewitness who prosecutors say was with hernandez the night of the double murders. jean casarez, cnn, new york. >> joining me now cnn legal analysts and "boston globe" columnist. i want to get to these other criminal charges he faces in a minute. today's verdict were you surprised at all? >> not really although this was not an open and shut case. there was no eyewitness. there was no clear motive on or about than aaron hernandez is one crazy angry person. but, you know it was a strong circumstantial case. hernandez was so stupid as to leave his own home security system on which showed him with what prosecutors argued was the murder weapon. so yes it was a strong case but it was by no means an obvious one and that's why the jury was out for seven days. >> the fact that hernandez's defense attorney admitted for the first time in his closing argument hernandez was pres

that was actually linked to him because of evidence that was uncovered in this case and that alexander bradley was an eye witness, they say, is also accusing hernandez of shooting him in the face just a few months before odin lloyd was killmed. and then they were asked did that help you know that you made the right decision and they said yes. >> and first, michael branch aaron hernandez's friend and former football coach. what was your reaction today? >> i was actually bottled up with so emotion that joy, or i didn't know if i wanted to cry. it was a sense of relief but also it doesn't bring odin back. so it's kind of a mixed emotion. >> and during the trial, odin's character was called into question as often happens in these cases. aaron's fiance said he might have been a drug dealer. >> i would say bs. if you're a drug dealer you're not coming to practice on a bmx bike that wasn't brand new. the kid never had money. i had to track him down for dues. there would be signs that he was a drug dealer and that's one of the reasons i'm here is to keep his name in good honor because that's not the c

you do have a clearly established motive and a weapon they blievelieve was used and we have alexander bradley was with aaron hernandez the night those two men were killed on the night in boston. so it's mind boggling that this man, has ended his freedom this way. >> let me bring in criminal defense attorney he's on the phone here. daren, it's interesting, when you think about, for example, robert kraft, the owner of the patriots, being called tine testify about his relationship and he talked about greeting him with a kiss on the cheek every time they crossed paths in gillette stadium -- i think we lost contact with daren. and at some point, even saying did you commit this crime and he told him that he was at a night club and the prosecution seized on that saying, in their closing argument, if he didn't commit the crime, how did he know the time line and know when lloyd had been killed because that had not been released at the time he the conversation in the locker room. >> and the comments made tookraft were proven false. and going back to kraft, his time on the stand here here is a very weal

his name is alexander bradley.s hernandez's right-hand man until hernandez allegedly shot him in the face. he lost his sight in one eye. here's some choice pictures of him. allegedly bradley was with hernandez the night that hernandez allegedly shot and killed two men in boston in 2012. yes, there are those cases still to come down the road. the jury won't hear any of all of this, though, nothing. but bradley testified about seeing something important -- hernandez with guns, particularly one gun inside a lockbox in the basement. >> this box, this black box, did you ever see it in an open condition? >> yes. >> who had opened it? >> mr. hernandez. >> and when it was in an opened condition, did you ever see any of the contents inside? >> yes. >> what did you see inside? >> a firearm, money, marijuana joints. >> okay. when you say a firearm, just describe, what color was the firearm? >> it was silver-grayish color with a brown handle. >> that's never what you want to hear, especially if you're facing down murder charge

another legal battle for hernandez, alexander bradley said he lost his eye after his friend, hernandezface following an argument at a florida strip club in february 2013. she is suing hernandez in federal court. bradley, it turns out, is allegedly also an eyewitness who prosecutors say was with hernandez the night of the double murders. jean casarez, cnn, new york. >> for the legal view now, i want to bring in analyst paul callan and joey jackson. nice to see both of you guys. my first question, how will the verdict in this case, the olin lloyd case impact the next murder trial, joey? >> ultimately what happens, randi, every case has to live and die on its own merits. technically speaking when you have one case, the double murder itself, prosecutors certainly may try to get in the murder case by saying it goes to motive, it goes to intent and it goes to a common plan in that double murder case and that is the conviction. likely the judge will not allow it, randi, because very prejudicial. it needs to be determined and the jury is going to ebe asked to weigh the case based upon the evid

. >> we are hearing from a former friends of hernandez, alexander bradley, answered questions outsiderosecution is barred from mentioning it the defense doesn't want him to testify at all. what's going on? >> they're concerned about this coming into the trial. aaron hernandez is on trial for one murder as you know he is accused of two other murders and shooting this particular person. so the judge is concerned about all of this coming in and tainting the jurors' expectations. want them to focus on this trial and not other things aaron hernandez has done in the past prior bad acts. the judge has told both parties they can't bring up prior bad acts, they want jurors to focus and determine his guilt or innocence based on the facts of this case. >> this trial set to wrap next week. from what you've seen so far, how's it going? >> i think the prosecutors have done a pretty good job here. this is a circumstantial case. they don't have a murder weapon they don't have an eyewitness that says aaron hernandez pulled the trigger, but they have this tremendous time line that they have laid out. a
