BB was subpoenaed for Hernandez trial, didn't testify

[Tunescribe]

This is hilarious. Link: Lawyer: Bill Belichick was subpoenaed for Aaron Hernandez trial

So, he either defied the subpoena or subsequently was excused -- article doesn't say which. In either case the trial (Aaron's second for murder) went on without BB's grunting and mumbling.

Ain't no snitch.

"Uh ... (snort) ... all I can address are players currently on the roster ... (cough, swallow) ... I don't care what happened last month, last year, or 10 years ago. Nothing can be done about it now. We're on to 2017 (snort). You want to know about Hernandez, ask the warden."

Did you, Coach Belichick, ever tell your team to go out and kill those guys?

Actually, it was Brian Billick.

"************.."

Best comment, Belichick would be a "hostile witness."

No way did BB defy the subpeona. They are issued to anyone whom they MIGHT want to call as a witness, but you are given notice a day or two in advance if you really WILL be called, in my experience. I am not a lawyer, but I have been involved in trials as a witness.

It sounds like BB had not given a deposition, so that made it even more unlikely he'd be called, since the defense would not quite know what he would say. Never put anyone on the stand if you don't have a very good idea what he is going to say.

Man, I am sick of still seeing Hernandez headlines on the newsfeed.

It is what is is, your honor.

If Belichick had defied a subpoena to which he could reasonably have responded, he'd be sitting in a jail cell or out on bail himself.

Either there never was a subpoena and Hernandez' lawyer's just blowing smoke in the middle of a house that he knows has already burned to the ground (not out of the question) or a subpoena was served and Belichick was in a place outside the jurisdiction of the court and did not have a reasonable amount of time to be present (more likely).

Agreed, I can understand BSPN and other media wanting to troll the Patriots, but why is this crap on patsfans.

@Ian can you put a filter on the news feed to filter out Hernandez?

 

[Joey007]

@QuantumMechanic why do you disagree exactly? Just curious.
