BOSTON — In court Wednesday, tattoo artist David Nelson described one of the two guns he inked on Aaron Hernandez in Hermosa Beach, California.
The tattoo session was in March 2013, 8 months after the drive-by shooting that killed Safiro Furtado and Daniel De'Abreu.
Prosecutors alleged Hernandez got tattoos to memorialize the double murder.
One has five bullets loaded into the cylinder of a six-shooter, allegedly representative of the five shots they say Hernandez fired with “deadly accuracy.”
Investigators say the gun used was a revolver manufactured 104 years ago.
The jury was not present for nelson's testimony, so they didn't get to hear defense attorney George Leontire describe the tattoo artist as a liar.
