CNN is reporting that former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty Friday in the Boston-area death of Odin Lloyd.
It was his sixth time appearing in a courtroom since his June 26 arrest.
He is charged with first-degree murder in the June 17 death of Lloyd, a 27-year-old semipro football player. He also faces various weapons charges. He will be held without bail until his next court appearance on October 9.
