In the case of murder of Odin Lloyd against free-agent TE Aaron Hernandez, the prosecution may view Carlos Ortiz, who was allegedly present on the night of Lloyd’s murder, as a star witness and grant him immunity. According to affidavits, Ortiz has been cooperating with authorities on numerous aspects of the investigation. However, Ortiz has a criminal record and drug history, so his credibility is likely to come under attack by the defense.
