The judge overseeing the murder trial of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez has struck some testimony from an employee of firearms manufacturer Glock who said surveillance video showed Hernandez carrying a gun less than 10 minutes after the killing.
The judge said Thursday that jurors must disregard certain testimony from Kyle Aspinwall, who identified a black object in Hernandez's hand several times on the video as a gun based on various characteristics.
She says they can still consider testimony from him identifying the object as a gun based on the back strap, but they can't consider testimony about other characteristics, including a trigger guard and front strap.
The defense has said it could have been a TV remote.
Hernandez is charged with killing Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.

An employee of weapons manufacturer Glock has testified at Aaron Hernandez's murder trial that surveillance video shows the former New England Patriots player holding a gun minutes after the killing.
Hernandez is accused in the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
The video was recorded in Hernandez's home at around 3:30 a.m. That's less than 10 minutes after prosecutors say Lloyd was killed at an industrial park near Hernandez's home.
Glock employee Kyle Aspinwall testified Wednesday that it is his opinion Hernandez was holding a Glock in his left hand.
Aspinwall says Hernandez was holding the weapon by the barrel. He pointed out to jurors the parts of the weapon, including the back strap, magazine well and trigger guard.
