Jury selection has started in the trial of one of two men charged with being an accomplice to the already convicted Aaron Hernandez in the killing of Odin Lloyd.

Earnest Wallace faces the same murder charges Hernandez was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for. Proceedings formally got underway earlier this month in Fall River Superior Court.

Lloyd's bullet-riddled body was discovered in an industrial park not far from Hernandez's North Attleborough mansion in June of 2013. During Hernandez's trial, prosecutors theorized that he shot Lloyd because of his knowledge about other violent crimes the former New England Patriots star tight end is suspected of having been involved in.

Hernandez Being Held at Maximum Security Prison

Now being held at the Souza-Baranowski maximum security prison, Hernandez is also expected to go on trial later this year as the trigger-man in the 2010 drive-by slayings of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu. Both men were gunned down outside a downtown Boston nightclub after one of them accidentally spilled a drink on Hernandez earlier in the evening and failed to apologize.

Hernandez Still a Tom Brady fan

Despite all his troubles, Hernandez recently found the time to rant in a letter he wrote to a female pen pal. After boasting that he still gets to follow Tom Brady and the Patriots on his jail cell TV, Hernandez attacked team owner Robert Kraft as "fake" and "non-loyal."

Not long before his arrest in the Lloyd case, Hernandez had inked a $40 million extension with the Patriots that management quickly moved to dissolve after he was criminally charged.

Wallace and Carlos Ortiz are alleged to have been with Hernandez on the night Lloyd was killed and both are being tried under the joint venture theory.

Since being incarcerated, Hernandez has experienced several other run-ins with the law, including once being accused of threatening to kill a prison guard and his family.
