Aaron Hernandez’s friend granted immunity
Alexander Bradley, a friend of former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, has been granted immunity by Suffolk County prosecutors, according to The Boston Globe.
Prosecutors believe Bradley was with Hernandez in 2012 on the night they say the ex-NFL player killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Boston. Prosecutors have not said whether or not he will testify against Hernandez in the trial, scheduled for later this year.
Prosecutors say Hernandez shot the two men in their car after de Abreu bumped into him in a Boston nightclub, causing him to spill his drink.
The immunity was revealed in a filing in a federal court in Florida, where Bradley is suing Hernandez in civil court, accusing Hernandez of shooting him in 2013.
The Globe said, Hernandez’s legal team was notified of the immunity Monday, though Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office has yet to confirm or deny the immunity agreement.
According to Monday’s filing, Bradley has also testified in front of grand juries in both Bristol and Suffolk counties, the Globe said.
During Hernandez’s trial for the murder of Odin Lloyd, Bradley testified that Hernandez had a Glock firearm that matched the firearm used in Lloyd’s death. Hernandez was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
