**Fight Censorship on YouTube** Fall River, Mass. -- Aaron Hernandez’s fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, took the stand at the murder trial Friday (March 27) and testified that Hernandez told her to meet up with co-defendant Ernest Wallace to give him money just hours after Odin Lloyd was killed. Jenkins testified that Hernandez ordered her to meet up with co-defendant Ernest Wallace hours after Lloyd’s murder and give Wallace $500. Jenkins added that co-defendant Carlos Ortiz​ was a passenger in Wallace’s car when she met with Wallace. Jenkins’s testimony advanced the prosecution’s argument that Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz conspired to murder Lloyd and that Hernandez led the conspiracy. Jenkins, however, also testified that she had no idea to which item Hernandez’s infamous text about a “box” referred. This portion of Jenkins’s testimony denied prosecutors of a potential opportunity to link Hernandez to firearms used in connection with Lloyd’s death. Jenkins could be the star witness for the prosecution. In a case where neither Hernandez nor his co-defendants are expected to testify, Jenkins is the person in Hernandez’s inner circle most knowledgeable about ties between Hernandez and Lloyd’s murder. Jenkins also testified with immunity, meaning she could not be charged with crimes relating to her testimony so long as she told the truth. Immunity also meant that Jenkins could not effectively plead her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Prosecutors, in other words, had boxed Jenkins into a corner going into Friday. If she knowingly lied on the stand, she would lose her immunity and face perjury charges, which in Massachusetts carry a potential penalty of life in prison when the perjury occurs in a murder trial. Alternatively, if Jenkins had refused to testify or refused to answer specific questions, Judge Susan Garsh would have held her in contempt of court and jailed Jenkins until the end of the trial. Instead, Jenkins testified and, to varying degrees, answered questions posed by Bristol County (Mass.) prosecutor William McCauley.
