ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-players home. The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandezs girlfriend. Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail. He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward, his lawyer Michael Fee said the defence was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecutions evidence. "There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case," and the state doesnt have enough evidence to prove the charges, he said. Hernandez signed a contract last summer worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled. He could face life in prison if convicted. The Bristol County grand jury also indicted two others in the case: Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace and Hernandezs cousin Tanya Singleton. Wallace is charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Prosecutors have said he was with Hernandez the night Lloyd died. Singleton is charged with criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the grand jury, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. She has been jailed in Massachusetts since Aug. 1. A recent affidavit said that, after Lloyds killing, Singleton bought Wallace a bus ticket. Carlos Ortiz, who faces a weapons charge in district court connected to the case, was not indicted. Sutter said Hernandezs arraignment in Superior Court, where the case now moves, could come next week. A jogger found Lloyds body on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park. His mother, Ursula Ward, called him a loving son who never hurt anyone. Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyds killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with at a nightclub days earlier. They say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked Lloyd up at his home in Bostons Dorchester neighbourhood early on June 17 and then drove to the industrial park. Shortly before his death, authorities say, Lloyd sent his sister text messages asking if she had seen who he was with. "NFL," he wrote. "Just so you know." Moments later, authorities say, Lloyd was dead after gunshots rang out near a warehouse after he apparently got out of the car for what he thought was a bathroom break. Authorities have not said who fired the shots, but according to court documents, Ortiz told police in Florida that Wallace said it was Hernandez. Wallace earlier pleaded not guilty in district court to a charge of accessory to murder after the fact. Ortiz pleaded not guilty to the firearm charge. A judge ordered Wallace held on $500,000 bail and Ortiz held without bail. Authorities have said they havent found the murder weapon, which they believe was a .45-calibre Glock pistol. But they recovered a magazine for .45-calibre bullets in Hernandezs Hummer as well as ammunition of the same calibre inside a condo he rented in Franklin, Mass. Prosecutors say they have video surveillance from Hernandezs home showing him before and after Lloyds killing holding what appears to be a Glock. Authorities also recovered a shell casing that matched those found at the homicide scene after tracking the rental car Hernandez was in the night Lloyd died. Since then, Boston police have asked police in Hernandezs hometown of Bristol, Conn., for their help with the probe into Lloyds homicide as well as a 2012 double homicide near a Boston nightclub. A Connecticut police lieutenant said authorities searched the home of Hernandezs uncle, seizing an SUV sought in the double killing that had been rented in Hernandezs name. Two men died in the July 2012 shooting in Bostons South End, with witnesses reporting that gunfire came from inside a grey SUV with Rhode Island tags. Boston police havent reported any arrests in the deaths of 29-year-old Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and 28-year-old Safiro Teixeira Furtado and wont comment on whether Hernandez is a suspect. Hernandez is also facing civil litigation after a Connecticut man filed a lawsuit asserting the former player shot him in the face in February after they argued at a Miami strip club. Alexander Bradley, who says he lost an eye, told police at the time he didnt know who shot him. Also Thursday, Hernandezs lawyers asked an Attleboro judge to order the state to stop "deliberately misleading or making false statements" to potential witnesses. They claim detectives visiting a potential witness at a Connecticut prison to interview him told the man this month they were there "to help Aaron out." Sutter called it an allegation and said he hadnt yet reviewed the defence motion.Adidas y3 Nederland . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

As a result, Penn State (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) is set for its biggest game in nearly a decade and will face Michigan State (3-8, 1-7) in the regular season finale Saturday with a Big Ten championship, and possibly more, on the line.Penn State would win the Big Ten East with a victory and a Michigan loss to Ohio State.The fact that McSorley is just 256 yards from breaking his programs single-season yardage record (3,215) with the stakes this high is no coincidence. Hes accounted for an average of 283 total yards per game during Penn States seven-game winning streak and 17 total touchdowns. Hes tossed just two interceptions in that span. His quiet, calm demeanor has been celebrated again and again by his teammates and coaches.Hes pretty much been who we thought he was going to be, Penn State coach James Franklin said. But I will tell you thats typically not the case, I mean, for all of us. In any industry, any relationship, you go in thinking you know somebody pretty well. Very rarely do they play out to be the person that you thought they were.The Spartans, meanwhile, are a team in transition. After winning two of the last three Big Ten titles, Michigan States season will end without a bowl game for the first time since 2006.Our goals are to finish much like weve always tried to do, complete a circle, finish with a `W, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. I think that makes a big difference in every football season. How you end that season really sets you up or plateaus you, or whatever the case.RUN-STUFFERS: Michigan States running game has thrived by changing angles and deceiving linebackers and the Spartans enter the reegular season finale led by powerful back LJ Scott, averaging 219 rushing yards in their last five games.ddddddddddddPenn State should be able to deal with this type of offense with linebackers Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda available. In games theyve played together this season, Penn State has allowed just 91 rushing yards per game compared to 221 per game when either star linebacker is out.BARKLEY A GO: Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who was knocked from the Rutgers game after a helmet-to-helmet hit, spoke at length with reporters on Tuesday and will play after testing negative for a concussion.DUELING TES: Penn States Mike Gesicki and his Michigan State counterpart Josiah Price have been big factors for their teams. Gesicki set Penn States single-season receptions record for a tight end with his 42nd last week and enters the game with 14 catches for 200 yards over the last three. He hasnt scored a touchdown since Oct. 8, however. Price needs two catches to become just the third tight end in Michigan State history with 100 in a career.CHANGING LINEUPS: Both teams have been hit hard by injuries. While Penn State endured the loss of seven linebackers in September and now is without its top three offensive tackles, the Spartans have fielded different starting lineups in every single game with 25 players earning their first start or extended playing time this season.SENIOR DAY: Penn State will honor 17 seniors before the game. Seven were true freshmen in 2012, the year the program was sanctioned by the NCAA following the universitys role in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Four more recruits remained committed to the team despite a four-year bowl ban and scholarship reductions and a transfer waiver that offered them the chance to go to another team without losing a year of eligibility.Michigan States 28 seniors, who were celebrated in a private ceremony in East Lansing last week, will play their final collegiate game at Beaver Stadium.
