According to text messages that were allegedly exchanged between Aaron Hernandez and Odin Lloyd back in June 2013, Hernandez was trying to set up a meeting with Lloyd just hours before his murder on June 17. So today in court, the prosecution called T-Mobile employee Raymond MacDonald to the stand and asked him a bunch of questions about the texts sent between Hernandez and Lloyd in the days leading up to Lloyd's death. At one point, MacDonald was even asked to read a series of the SMS messages. And it was, well, really awkward.
A bunch of reporters tweeted about MacDonald reading the texts this AM:
So we went back and watched MacDonald's testimony—which you can see here—and recorded the part where he was asked to read some of the texts that the two men sent to one another. You can hear him reading them in the clip above. Hearing him say stuff like, "I was gonna slide thru I ain't got shit to do," in a courtroom is so surreal.
