As testimony resumed today in the murder trial of Aaron Hernandez, prosecutors played a police surveillance video of the former NFL star allegedly dismantling his phone one day after Odin Lloyd's death. Just before playing the video, Detective Michael Elliot of the North Attleboro Police Department testified that a few hours after Hernandez left the police station, he saw the former New England Patriots player from the closed-circuit police camera sitting in his lawyer's car, breaking down his cell phone. Elliot said Hernandez then put the phone "back together and powered it up" -- something he was able to see when he zoomed the surveillance camera in on the car. The defense had fought to keep the surveillance video from being brought into evidence, but Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh ruled this past Friday that Hernandez had no expectation of privacy while inside a parked car in a public lot.
