A perjury charge against Shayanna Jenkins was dropped Friday, one month to the day after her fiancé, former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
A motion to dismiss the charge was filed by the Bristol County, Mass. District Attorney’s office Thursday afternoon and the request was granted by Judge Garsh on Friday morning.
Prosecutors claimed Jenkins lied 29 times during her 2013 testimony to a grand jury that Hernandez killed semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. The maximum sentence for a perjury conviction in a capital case in Massachusetts is 20 years.
