New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was reportedly served a subpoena in the Aaron Hernandez double-murder trial earlier this week. He was supposedly on the defense team’s list of witnesses.
In a strange development, Belichick didn’t show up to testify.
That’s actually some pretty big news right there. Judges themselves usually don’t respond kindly to potential witnesses refusing to testify after being handed a subpoena. There’s definitely a scenario in play here that suggests Belichick could be held in contempt of court.
As it is, the defense team rested its case shortly after Hernandez’s former head coach refused to testify. Hernandez, a former fourth-round pick of the Patriots, is facing trial for a double murder that took place back in July of 2012.
