FALL RIVER, Mass. -- The uncle of Aaron Hernandez's fiancée says the former New England Patriots star told him the day after the killing that his endorsements were gone.
Azia Jenkins said Wednesday that Hernandez didn't elaborate. He said Hernandez said it after a commercial came on TV while they played pool in Hernandez's basement.
Jenkins said Hernandez appeared cool, calm and collected.
Hernandez is charged with the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancée.
Azia Jenkins said he was leaving Hernandez's home June 18 when police arrived and spoke to him. He then went to the police station. When he returned to Hernandez's home, he said Hernandez asked what police had asked him.
Not long after that, he said, Hernandez commented about his endorsements.
Also Wednesday, a police detective described how officers found a shell casing and blue bubble gum that they used to link Hernandez to the June 2013 killing.
North Attleborough police Detective Michael Elliott was cross-examined by Hernandez lawyer James Sultan.
Elliott said police were called by a rental car company worker, who told them several items had been removed from a car Hernandez rented and put in a trash bin. Elliott said police searched the bin and found the shell casing attached to the gum.
Sultan questioned the way police handled the items.
Prosecutors have said Hernandez bought blue bubble gum shortly before the killing.
