ESPN: Aaron Hernandez to Be Called to Stand in Wrongful Death Suit

Lawyer Douglass Sheff also said during a news conference that he plans to call Hernandez to testify when the case goes to trial, though that could be years away. He said Ursula Ward, the mother of Odin Lloyd, wants to look him in the eye when he testifies.

“She wants to ask what happened. Very simple: `What happened?’ And the next question: `Why?” Sheff said, calling Lloyd’s death an unthinkable loss.
