PHOTOS: Aaron Hernandez's text messages scrutinized in court
Text messages sent from Aaron Hernandez's phone to accused accomplices Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz in the days and hours before Odin Lloyd's murder were the focus of Hernandez's trial Friday.
Hours before Lloyd's murder, Hernandez sent several texts urging Wallace to come see him. A number of suspicious text messages were displayed in the court room:

A phone company official provided testimony suggesting several text messages sent by the former NFL tight end are missing from his phone. The prosecution alleges the missing texts were sent to Wallace.
