FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) - The judge overseeing the murder trial of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez has struck some testimony from an employee of firearms manufacturer Glock who said surveillance video showed Hernandez carrying a gun less than 10 minutes after the killing.

The judge said Thursday that jurors must disregard certain testimony from Kyle Aspinwall, who identified a black object in Hernandez's hand several times on the video as a gun based on various characteristics.

She says they can still consider testimony from him identifying the object as a gun based on the back strap, but they can't consider testimony about other characteristics, including a trigger guard and front strap.

The defense has said it could have been a TV remote.

Hernandez is charged with killing Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
