Hernandez shut door in face of police, records say
The new details about the investigation of Lloyd’s death, in an industrial park a mile from Hernandez’s home, were contained in more than 150 pages of affidavits and search warrants released by a district court judge on Tuesday. Lloyd smoked marijuana, was a marijuana dealer, and she often saw him on the phone talking about sales, according to court records.
Then how could the NSA not have known about it?

"Bullets found in Hernandez apartment; Court filing also links a shirt to night of killing" by Mark Arsenault and Wesley Lowery | Globe Staff, July 03, 2013
A search of the Franklin apartment maintained by Aaron Hernandez turned up several boxes of ammunition and a hooded white sweat shirt possibly worn by the former New England Patriot on the night that prosecutors allege he orchestrated the killing of an acquaintance, according to documents filed in Wrentham District Court....
The former star tight end has been charged with murdering 27-year-old Odin Lloyd of Dorchester. Two of Hernandez’s associates, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, also face charges in connection with the investigation. Authorities say they have recovered videotape from several security cameras that show Hernandez, Wallace, and Ortiz picking up Lloyd at his home on Fayston Street early on June 17, and then driving into a North Attleborough industrial park, where Lloyd’s body was discovered later that day....
Ortiz told police on June 25, that Hernandez, who lived in a sprawling house in North Attleborough, had another address “that not many people know about,” according to the affidavit.
It wasn’t clear why Hernandez maintained a second apartment about 20 minutes by car from his house....
Meanwhile, a psychological profile taken by Hernandez before the 2010 draft, revealed a talented, highly motivated football player who enjoyed “living on the edge of acceptable behavior” and could be “a problem,” according to The Wall Street Journal.
Hernandez, drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round despite being widely regarded as a first- or second-round talent, received a 1 out of 10 in the category of “social maturity.”
The test, given to all NFL prospects before the draft, predicted Hernandez “will find very little time to help” teammates and that “he enjoys living on the edge of acceptable behavior, and that he may be prone to partying too much and doing questionable things that could be seen as a problem for him and his team.”
But the report had glowing marks for Hernandez as well, scoring him a 10 out of 10 in “Focus” and “Mental Quickness”; a 9 in “Self-Efficacy” and “Receptivity to Coaching”; and a 7 for “Dedication.”
“Hernandez sees himself as a football player above all else,” the report said. “He will place a high priority on football and what it takes to be successful.”

"Options dwindling for Hernandez" by Mark Arsenault and Wesley Lowery | Globe Staff, July 11, 2013
New disclosures and witness statements emerging in the murder case against Aaron Hernandez leave the former New England Patriot with dwindling options for a defense strategy against charges that could keep him locked up for life, legal specialists say.
Statements from one of the men allegedly with Hernandez the night Dorchester’s Odin Lloyd was killed provide for the first time a first-hand account, though hazy and potentially self-serving, of what happened in the North Attleborough industrial park where Lloyd was shot in an execution-style slaying.
Carlos Ortiz’s version of the June 17 shooting, contained in court documents released in Florida this week, appears to corroborate security camera footage allegedly showing Hernandez, Ortiz, and another man, Ernest Wallace, picking up Lloyd in Boston and then driving him to the industrial park where he was killed....
Though seemingly damning, Ortiz’s version is open for attack by the defense, said former Middlesex district attorney Gerard T. Leone, an experienced prosecutor not part of the case. “It’s really convenient that he stayed in the car, and it sounds contrived to get out of culpability,” he said. “It makes his account suspicious.”

I'm surprised this case hasn't received the Zimmerman treatment since it also is a hispanic on black killing.
