FALL RIVER — The 12 people working to decide whether to convict former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez are set to resume deliberations for a seventh day.
Jurors have deliberated nearly 35 hours since last week. They are scheduled to be back in court at 9 a.m. today to continue their work.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was found shot to death in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez’s home. Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.

If convicted of 1st-degree murder, Hernandez would be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. If convicted of 2nd-degree murder, he would be sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 15 years.
The verdict must be unanimous.
Here’s how their deliberations stack up against some other notable murder trials:
O.J. SIMPSON
Jurors in the 8 ½-month-long murder trial in 1995 deliberated for less than four hours before finding the former football star, broadcaster and actor not guilty of killing his ex-wife and her friend.

CHARLES MANSON
Still one of the nation’s most infamous killers, Manson was convicted in 1971 after jurors deliberated for 42 hours over nine days. He and three co-defendants were convicted of a series of killings in the Los Angeles area, including that of actress Sharon Tate.
PHIL SPECTOR
Deliberations lasted 30 hours before jurors found the music producer guilty of second-degree murder in 2009 in the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson. His first trial, in 2007, resulted in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
ROBERT BLAKE
Blake, an actor known for starring in the 1970s detective drama “Baretta,” was acquitted in 2005 of killing his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, after jurors spent nine days deliberating.

LIZZIE BORDEN
Jurors deliberated for around an hour before acquitting Borden of the ax murders of her father and stepmother in a sensational trial in 1893. The killings happened in Fall River, Massachusetts, in a home that sits directly across the street from the courthouse where the Hernandez trial has taken place.
MICHAEL SKAKEL
Kennedy cousin Skakel was convicted in 2002, following three days of deliberations, for the 1975 killing of his neighbor Martha Moxley when they were both 15. In 2013, Skakel was released from prison after a judge granted him a new trial. Prosecutors are appealing the decision, and no date for the new trial has been set.
