Lawyers for Aaron Hernandez are requesting they be allowed to interview one of the jurors who sat on the panel that convicted the former NFL star of first-degree murder amid claims of interference in the decision.

According to the Boston Herald, attorneys for Hernandez are determined to get to the bottom of testimony supplied by a tipster, who alleged the juror in question may have been aware that the former New England Patriot tight end was also facing double-murder charges in Boston.

"To be sure (redacted) did not testify affirmatively that (redacted) overheard the conversation regarding Hernandez and the Boston case," attorneys for Hernandez wrote in a heavily redacted motion. "However, her testimony clearly raises the distinct possibility that (redacted) may well have been present and overheard the conversation in question."

State law stipulates a jury verdict can be invalidated if one or more jurors was exposed to "extraneous, prejudicial information."

With that in mind, Hernandez's attorneys have asked Bristol County Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh to order the juror back to court. They seek to question her about what she did and didn't know about the case in Boston prior to their client being jailed for life as the trigger-man in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd.

Hernandez is also slated to go on trial early next year in the 2012 drive-by killings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. He is accused of gunning down both men outside a downtown Boston nightclub after one of them spilled a drink on him earlier in the evening and did not apologize.

Reports are the tipster claims a conversation about the Boston double-murder case occurred at an event that the juror attended. The date and time of the alleged incident have been redacted from the documents filed by Hernandez's attorneys.

During the latest proceedings, lawyers for the disgraced athlete told the court they would be ready to go to court in the case on Jan. 19 as scheduled, provided the "alleged shooting" of Alexander Bradley -- a key witness in the case -- "is essentially off the table in the murder trial."

Hernandez is also charged with witness intimidation for allegedly shooting Bradley on Feb. 13, 2013 in Florida in connection with the double-homicide. To date, Judge Jeffrey Locke has refused to remove Bradley from the case.
