Aaron Hernandez’s girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins, has been indicted on a perjury charge in connection with the killing of Odin Lloyd. She joins three others who are also facing charges in the case including Hernandez’s cousin, Tanya Singleton. Singleton was indicted on a charge of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact and two Hernandez associates, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace were each indicted on a single count of accessory to murder after the fact.
Prosecutors say Jenkins has been lying from the get-go, telling them she went to bed early on the night of the shooting and was unaware of Hernandez whereabouts on the night of the murder. However, surveillance cameras around the home shows Jenkins opening the door for Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz at the house when they came to pick up Hernandez and take Lloyd for a ride.
Prosecutors also believe Jenkins was the person who ditched the murder weapon, a .45-caliber Glock that hasn’t been found, and a .22-caliber weapon that was recovered near Hernandez’s home.
