The anonymous tipster who contends that a juror in the Aaron Hernandez murder case concealed knowledge of the separate murder charges pending against Hernandez will tell her story under oath next month.
Via the Boston Herald, the tipster known only as “Katy” will testify in a September 2 hearing that will be closed to the public.
Judge E. Susan Garsh has ordered the testimony despite the fact that “Katy” has maintained a “long-term, sexually explicit relationship” with Hernandez. Judge Garsh also has said that, if the information regarding potential juror misconduct requires a formal evidentiary hearing, it will happen in an open proceeding.
“Katy” may not be thrilled about these developments. Hernandez’s lawyer, James Sultan, has said that “Katy” has been reluctant to cooperate, and that she has refused to provide a written affidavit.
If “Katy” fails to show up for court or refuses to testify, should could end up having a similar living arrangement to Hernandez.
