#AaronHernandez - Sullivan: We believe the CW must satisfy beyond a reasonable doubt that AH shot AB on 02/13/13.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Sullivan: if evidence produced at trial consistent w/1 theory of case should be instruction based on that #AaronHernandez

 

[usnuzuloose]

Sullivan: SJC says proper for court to instruct consistent w/the evidence #AaronHernandez

 

[usnuzuloose]

Sullivan: CW proceeded w/1 theory that #AaronHernandez shot AB & did so to intimidate him as witness

 

[usnuzuloose]

a: Sullivan: no evidence of an indirect threat here #AaronHer

 

[usnuzuloose]

ana: Sullivan: to now "open the floodgates" & speculate that #AaronHernandez ordered someone to shoot AB not permissible

#AaronHernandez - Sullivan: There is no evidence of indirect threat, IE: AH ordered someone else to shoot AB.

 

[usnuzuloose]

To allow the Jury to "speculate that Mr. Hernandez ordered" the shooting of Alexander Bradley" is improper says Sullivan re: "indirectly"

Sullivan: guvt's lone theory was that #AaronHernandez alone violated intimidation statute not anyone else

 

[usnuzuloose]

Anderson: jury's ques taking note in differences in the legal language #AaronHernandez

Anderson: phrase "directly or indirectly" in indictment is tripping them up #AaronHernandez
