Victim’s Family Faces Long Road to Collecting Damages from Hernandez

…“That’s why it’s so important to open up the case,” attorney Douglas Sheff said at a news conference Wednesday alongside Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, “so that we can get folks perhaps who manage his money or folks who know where it is to testify under oath and give us that information.”

Sheff said the family wants to call Hernandez to testify if the case goes to trial.

“And when we do, he will no longer be able to hide behind any sort of Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination,” Sheff said, “because he is already convicted of the crime.”
