WBUR, "Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez will be back in court next month after a judge agreed to delay a probable cause hearing to allow prosecutors more time to present evidence to a grand jury."

WBUR, "One of prosecutors’ key witnesses in the murder and racketeering trial of James “Whitey” Bulger takes the stand for the fifth day Wednesday. Stephen Flemmi, a convicted murderer and Bulger’s former criminal partner, will face more questions from the defense."
