Hernandez Will Be Called to Testify in Odin Lloyd Civil Suit

…Via the Associated Press, lawyer Doug Sheff told reporters on Wednesday that Hernandez will be called to testify in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against him by the estate of Odin Lloyd.

The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination evaporates once the criminal process has ended. However, the criminal process won’t completely end until Hernandez’s appeal has resolved, since he potentially could get a new trial. It’s possible, if not likely, that the civil lawsuit will have to wait, if the goal will be to force Hernandez to tell his story.
