For those who want the gov't out of marriage one of the legal benefits granted to marriage is a spouse cannot be forced to testify against the other spouse. In this case since Ms. Jenkins is not married to Aaron Hernandez the prosecutor can force Ms. Jenkins to take the stand. The fiancee can take the Fifth Amendment on the stand but in this case she was granted immunity.

How about everyone just get married FIRST, set up a HOME with a Mommy and a Daddy and THEN have your babies?

I hope you’re kidding, because that is the dumbest argument for marriage I have ever read, LOL! I’m not going into marriage on the off chance my spouse is a creep and I can’t be compelled to testify AGAINST him. If he does something wrong, I’m going to be the FIRST one shouting about it!

Of course, if this jerk HAD married his Baby Momma, then he’d be safe from her testifying against her.

So, what’s the point here? I’m confused, LOL!

No matter. The testimony today fell kind of flat. No smoking gun. I think Hernandez is guilty as hell but so far in this trial, all the evidence is circumstantial and hearsay.

At least if he's acquitted, he'll still be in jail to await his next trial for the double-murder.
