Two hours later, Haggan said, Hernandez opened fire on the men's car as they waited at a stoplight. Haggan said the encounter to most people would be "simply trivial," but Hernandez misinterpreted it as a sign of disrespect. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder as well as a charge of witness intimidation. Earlier Wednesday, a juror in Hernandez's case was dismissed after a police officer scheduled to testify told the court they had once coached a football team together. Prosecutors in the double murder case have said that in the months before the killings, Hernandez had become increasingly convinced that people had been "testing, trying or otherwise disrespecting him" when he went to area nightclubs.
