The district attorney also said in court that Hernandez was seen on home surveillance carrying a gun in hand.

Prosecutor also tells the court that shell casings were found in a rental car when Aaron Hernandez returned it, according to Ted Daniel of FOX 25.

Hours before homicide, defendant was seen holding firearm and saying you “can’t trust anyone anymore.”

The prosecution asks for no bail.

Defense attorney calls the evidence circumstantial and “not strong.” “This defendant stands before the court without any record,” according to the defense attorney, who als said he has not been accused of any violent crime previously.

Defense attorney says Hernandez is not a flight risk and would GPS monitoring and appropriate cash bail so he can be returned to the community.

The judge has ruled Aaron Hernandez will be held without bail.

The defense attorney wants a gag order in the case. “What we would ask is a simple order from this court to note that anyone involved in this case … both from defense and prosecution side from releasing any comment or commenting on this case so as to not prejudice this defendant’s rights.”

Prosecutor: “We want to try this case in the court room, not in the media.”

Attorneys and district attorney have both asked for the arrest affidavit to be sealed, and that request has been granted by the judge.

Next date in court for Aaron Hernandez will be July 24.

Kim & Kanye Choose a Baby Name

– Via Metro.uk –
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star gave birth to her and Kanye’s first baby together on Saturday, with Khloe confirming mother and baby are ‘healthy and resting’ on Sunday.

And it has now been reported that while Kim and Kanye are planning on keeping the new arrival’s name a secret for the time being, a family insider appears to have leaked their top pick.

‘Kai Georgia Donda West has been mentioned,’ a source close to Kimye told HollywoodLife.com.

While Georgia is where Kanye grew up, Donda pays tribute to his late mother Donda West. But Kim’s late dad Robert Kardashian’s middle name was also George.

The proud parents are currently still in the hospital, according to US reports.

Confirming the news and congratulating her elder, Khloe tweeted on Sunday: ‘I can not even begin 2 describe the miracle that is now apart of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy & resting. We appreciate all of the love.’

She added: ‘More info will come when the time is right! Thank you all for understanding! We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now.’

Kim & Kanye Welcome Their Baby Girl

On Saturday — according to E!, the network behind her family’s hit reality show– Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl. The report did not give a name for the newborn, but did say she came into the world at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
She’s the first child for the 32-year-old Kardashian, who has modeled, acted and launched business ventures but is best known as a reality TV star with a huge international following, having amassed some 18 million Twitter followers
The father is rapper Kanye West, who was by his girlfriend’s side during the delivery, E! reported, citing a source. The couple started dating last year, shortly after Kardashian filed for divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries after 72 days of marriage.
While the baby’s arrival was somewhat unexpected — coming a few weeks earlier than the July due date — her gender is not. Like many aspects of the Kardashian family’s existence, it was revealed on an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” — the eighth season premiere, in fact, that aired in June — documenting her 19-week checkup at her obstetrician’s office.
“I’m so excited we’re having a girl. Who doesn’t want a girl? I think they are the best,” Kardashian said then. “I know that’s really what Kanye has always wanted. He wanted a little girl.”
Kardashian’s newborn daughter is the third grandchild of Kris Jenner — the former wife of the late Robert Kardashian, best known as a lawyer for O.J. Simpson. Jenner is currently married to Olympic legend Bruce Jenner.
Kardashian’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian, has two children — Mason and Penelope — with her longtime boyfriend, Scott Disick.
As to her own pregnancy, Kim Kardashian told Ryan Seacrest this spring that she didn’t experience morning sickness, though it has been “really painful everywhere.”
