Aaron Hernandez texted a friend to 'hurry' before they allegedly murdered semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd, the jury in his murder trial heard on Friday. But several other messages the former New England Patriots player exchanged with co-defendant Ernest Wallace were deleted from his phone after the killing, a Massachusetts Superior Court heard. Hernandez, 25, was seen grinning in court on Friday as prosecutor Patrick Bomberg went through dozens of texts he had sent to Wallace in the days surrounding the June 17, 2013 killing of Lloyd. The semi-pro football player, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, was found shot to death at an industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Atteborough later that day.
